  1. Studies on Biodiversity: 
  • Descriptive and analytical studies of genetic, species, and community diversity
  • Novel methods and application of bioinformatics in studying biodiversity
  • Studies on Ethnobiology

  1. Ecological Studies: 

  • Tropical ecology and conservation studies
  • Studies on behavioral biology

  1. Biotechnology: 

  • Sustainable use of tropical biodiversity
  • Application of bioinformatics in biotechnology

Manuscripts that are not under the subjects will not be considered to be published. We also discourage manuscripts written by a single author.

Publication Frequency

Journal of Tropical Biodiversity and Biotechnology (JTBB) using a continuous publication system.  This means once the article has finished all of the editing and layout processes, it will be published immediately without waiting for other articles to complete the full issue.
