Submit your valuable work: Submit Now. As Indonesian Journal Biotechnology grows into a reputable international journal, it is important that we regularly revisit the systems and rules we have in place. Thus, we are updating our submissions guidelines based on recent feedback and activity on the systems. These changes will serve to streamline and professionalize our review process, make the review process becomes more effective, and make sure that our journal remains an ideal place to share some advancements in the biotechnology fields.

From 1 September , we will upload our new submission guidelines, onwards all new submissions to Indonesian Journal Biotechnology should follow the new guidelines here. Also, please check the author's guidelines page for further information.

If you peruse the Directory of Open Access Journals DOAJ website, you might be surprised to find a certain publication hiding amongst the other biotechnology journals. In fact, it's true! While the main aim of many indexing services is to create a database of exemplary journals, the DOAJ provides the unique benefit of highlighting the journals that are dedicated to both the free flow of scientific knowledge and transparency in editorial practices.

Not only are readers of IJBiotech able to read any article free of charge, but they are free to share and adapt these articles, promoting the research therein or using it to inform their own research. Authors, meanwhile, hold the copyright of their articles, as well as its publishing rights, enabling them to redistribute their paper in any manner they desire or to deposit it into any archive or institutional respository without restrictions.

This policy is part of our commitment to helping the field of biotechnology deliver on its promises to humanity, in aiding the development of new medicines, in increasing food security, in treating waste and reducing pollution, and much, much more.

We are steadfast in our belief in the ethical responsibilities of scholarly publications to readers, authors, and the greater scientific community, and we're proud to see our journal in the DOAJ.

The Open Access journals have demonstrated to be important in providing a reliable and a more accessible mean in communicating science. An example as such, is that they are evaluated by the ISI Thomson Scientific —recognized as an authority for evaluating journals- following the same rigorous selection process as journals in print media. The measurement of the impact factors in the electronic publications demonstrates that these receive a smaller citation level than print journals, ranking in general in the lower half of journals in their subject category.

Moreover, the low usage of the electronic media demonstrates a lack of confidence of authors in this new mean of communication. In this sense, editors have to provide answers to some unsolved issues regarding e-publications in order to make these journals more reliable and confident to the scholarly community. The journals edited in Latin America with international visibility represent 0.

In that same year, these publications reached an impact factor average of 0. The experience of this journal shows that with commitment to international diversity, quality, academic rigor of the peer review process, transparency, responsibility to scientists, innovation and international cooperation, a high level of visibility and accessibility can be obtained, as demonstrated by an average of more than 83, readers during year and an impact factor of 0.

Its dissemination, accessibility and understanding play key roles in its impact on research funding policies and in the benefits for a knowledge-based economy. The success of modern science depends on social acceptance of new scientific results and requires a permanent dialogue with an informed civil society where an open communication system, accessible and visible, is of primary importance for the benefit of society [1].

Although the introduction of the web based technology has raised a continuous debate on science communication, the journal system has remained stable and scientists value journal articles as a recognized mean of communicating original, peer-reviewed and edited information. The key problems regarding the use of this journal system continue to be the high costs of subscriptions, technical barriers, and the specialized language used in the scientific articles which leads to non-equity and discrimination across the international science community [2, 3].

An important recent trend has been the development of the Open Access movement, which promotes free online access to full text research articles in every academic field [5, 6]. The changes in information technology and communication that made possible the rise of the knowledge society generated a new type of illiterates.

They are citizens and scientists, as authors and publishers, have not sufficiently incorporated the new expertise and possibilities of communication that are based on the use of information technology. This technology not only changed the form of communicating, but also reinvented the strategies used to recover, to analyze, and to diffuse scientific information. An important decision made by the members of the international scientific community was to adopt new guidelines of communication for their results.

Also, as evidenced in this article, a large part of the world's researchers continue to resist the new forms of communicating science based in web technology. The consolidation of new communication channels as they are: exclusively electronic journals, the repositories of preprints and postprints, and the institutional repositories. The enhancement of procedures of quality control of science, such as public and open peer review.

Furthermore, the opportunities created by multimedia and hypertext that can exist exclusively in an electronic format. New alerting services and new indicators of scientific production, such as the index of Hirsh or the citation tracker, constitute sufficiently forceful changes that have moved for always the guidelines of scientific communication.

It is possible to imagine a parallel link between the scientists who do not incorporate these new guidelines of scientific communication and the inhabitants of the mythical Greek cave. The cave dwellers were convinced that the shadow projected inside the cave was the reality. They were wrong. Yield and yield components of maize Zea mays L under different irrigation levels.
