Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.

You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences).

More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.

Aims and scope

BMC Biotechnology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on the manipulation of biological macromolecules or organisms for use in experimental procedures, cellular and tissue engineering or in the pharmaceutical, agricultural biotechnology and allied industries.

The journal welcomes submissions in these broad areas of research:
Applied immunology
Cellular, tissue and whole organism biotechnology
Drug discovery and delivery
Environmental biotechnology
Food and nutritional biotechnology
Genetic engineering
Mathematical modeling and statistics in biology
Methods and technological advances in biotechnology
Microbial biotechnology
Plant and agricultural biotechnology
Systems and synthetic biology
