Announcing the launch of In Review

BMC Biotechnology, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:

Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received

See the full range of benefits of In Review and how to opt-in

A chicken bioreactor for efficient production of functional cytokines

A recent article published in BMC Biotechnology explores the potential of transgenic chicken as a bioreactor for cost-effective production of pure, high quality, biologically active protein for therapeutics. See the social media coverage here.

Call for papers to two new Sections

BMC Biotechnology has launched two new sections: Biomaterials section led by Prof. Hyung Joon Cha, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea; Systems and synthetic biology section led by Prof. Ting Lu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA.

Both sections are now open for submissions.

Call for papers: Genome editing technology and applications in animals and plants

BMC Biotechnology is currently accepting submissions to a thematic series entitled "Genome editing technology and applications in animals and plants".

Standards of reporting

BMC Plant Biology advocates complete and transparent reporting of research. The BMC minimum standards of reporting checklist is intended as a tool for authors to transparently describe their research and ensure reproducibility. We encourage our authors to adhere to these standards when preparing their manuscript.

Research Data Support for authors

Research Data Support is an optional Springer Nature service available to researchers who have datasets they want to make easier to cite, share and find. Learn more about this service and the many benefits of making your data publicly available.
