[edit] History
The journal was first published in 1979 under the title Journal of Applied Biochemistry (ISSN 0161-7354) by Academic Press, and assumed its present title in 1986.[2] In 1993, publication was taken over by Portland Press.[2][3] Originally publishing papers in general applied biochemistry, the journal has changed its scope to focus on diagnostics and therapeutics.[citation needed]
Former Editors-in Chief include Peter Campbell (University College London, UK) (before 1996) and Roger Lundblad (formerly of Baxter Biotech, Duarte, USA) (1996–2002).
[edit] Modern journal
There are currently nine print issues per year, in three volumes; from 2007, the journal has appeared monthly online. Content from 1998 is available online in PDF and HTML formats, with papers from 2005 also being available in an enhanced full-text format (EESI-View). The journal has introduced the facility for authors to pay for their papers to be available freely online.
The journal's 2006 impact factor was 1.903,[4] with a ranking of 73 out of 140 journals in the ISI Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology category.[citation needed] Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry is indexed by BIOBASE/CABS, BIOSIS, CAB International, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Dechema, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, MEDLINE, International Food Information Service, IFIS Publishing and the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI).
As of 2008, its Editor-in-Chief is Parviz A. Shamlou (Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, USA).
