Scholarly publishing · Editorial platform in preparation

Research across bioprocess and chemical technology.

JBCT is building its editorial and publishing infrastructure around rigorous peer review, durable scholarly records, and clear research communication.

01

Scientific integrity

Editorial policies and review practices will be published before submissions open.

02

Stable records

The journal platform is being designed around persistent, searchable article metadata.

03

Accessible reading

Readable pages, responsive layouts, and standards-based publishing guide the implementation.

Proposed subject areas

A connected view of conversion, scale-up, and sustainable production

The final aims and scope will be approved by the editorial team before launch. The areas below establish the working information architecture.

Bioprocess engineering

Bioreactors, fermentation, cell culture, monitoring, modelling, scale-up, and downstream processing.

Chemical process technology

Reaction engineering, separations, catalysis, process intensification, control, and industrial implementation.

Sustainable systems

Biorefineries, circular processes, renewable feedstocks, resource efficiency, and environmental performance.

Enabling methods

Analytical technology, computational methods, digitalisation, materials, and interdisciplinary process innovation.

Platform approach

One editorial system, one canonical scholarly record

JBCT will use Open Journal Systems (OJS) for submissions, peer review, editorial decisions, issue management, and publication. This keeps the public website and editorial workflow aligned rather than splitting journal content across separate systems.

Detailed policies covering authorship, research ethics, corrections, licensing, fees, data, and reviewer confidentiality will appear here only after formal approval.
