Aims & Scope

Aims

The ICCK Journal of Intelligent Biotechnology (JIB) aims to publish high-quality research that integrates biotechnology with intelligent and data-driven computational approaches. The journal focuses on how advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and system-level modeling can advance biological discovery and support practical solutions in life sciences, agriculture, and public health. The journal emphasizes interdisciplinary research that bridges wet-lab biotechnology, bioinformatics, and intelligent systems to address challenges in human health, agricultural sustainability, environmental monitoring, and disease prevention. Both experimental and computational studies are encouraged, particularly those that demonstrate clear translational relevance and real-world impact.

Scope

The scope of the Journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Intelligent and computational biotechnology
• Agricultural biotechnology, crop improvement, and stress biology
• Genomics, proteomics, GWAS, and multi-omics analysis
• AI and machine learning applications in biological, agricultural, and public health research
• Systems biology and data-driven biological modeling
• Precision agriculture, breeding technologies, and food safety
• Environmental biotechnology and wastewater-based epidemiology
• Public health surveillance, biomarkers, and diagnostic technologies
• Automation, high-throughput technologies, and smart laboratory systems

Editorial Process

All manuscripts submitted to JIB should adhere to the journal's Editorial Process.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism detection is performed at ICCK using the iThenticate- Crossref Similarity Checking tool. This web-based tool is employed in the editorial process to identify potential text plagiarism. It's important to note that while iThenticate can identify matching text, it cannot independently determine whether plagiarism has occurred. Manual examination of the matching text is still necessary, and judgment must be exercised to ascertain the presence or absence of plagiarism. The similarity report might be sent to the author for revision whenever needed.

Publication Ethics Statement

ICCK is responsible for implementing rigorous peer review and strict ethical policies and standards to ensure that high quality scientific work is added to the field of scholarly publishing. ICCK takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously, and our editors are trained to enforce COPE's Core Practices and Guidelines, with a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism, data falsification, and other behaviours. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate/Crossref Similarity Check to check submissions against previous publications.

Advertising

The journal does not accept any commercial product advertisements until policy changes otherwise.

Direct Marketing

Journal propagation has been done through the journal website and distribution of an introduction pamphlet. Invitations to submit a manuscript are usually targeted towards presenters at conferences, seminars, or workshops related to the journal's aims and scope.
