African Journal of Biotechnology (AJB)

The African Journal of Biotechnology (AJB) is a peer‑reviewed open‑access scientific journal established in 2002 that publishes original research, review articles, short communications and methodological papers across all areas of biotechnology and allied life sciences. The journal covers applied biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, industrial and environmental biotechnology, microbiology, genomics and proteomics, genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, food and agricultural technologies, and biotechnological applications in health and industrial processes. AJB aims to disseminate high‑quality research that advances knowledge and practical applications relevant to developing countries, particularly in Africa, promoting innovation and scientific exchange in biological and biotechnological disciplines. As an open access publication, articles are freely available online to a global audience shortly after acceptance, enabling renewable access for researchers, educators, policymakers and industry practitioners. The journal’s broad remit reflects the interdisciplinary nature of biotechnology, bridging basic science with practical implications for agriculture, healthcare, industry and sustainable development. By encouraging submissions from diverse sub‑fields, AJB supports evidence‑based approaches and technological innovations with relevance to both local and global scientific communities.
