Ten titles running since 2011, from microbiology and biotechnology through nutrition, dairy science and conservation.

The keywords are unusually spread out for us — climate change, diversity, nutrition, probiotics, conservation — which is what a genuinely broad life-sciences list looks like.

What our authors write about

Counted from the keywords authors chose themselves, not from a plan:

  • Climate change — 16 papers
  • Biodiversity and diversity — 25 across two keywords
  • Nutrition — 13
  • Probiotics — 12
  • Dairy and milk science — 12
  • Conservation — 11
  • Microbiology
  • COVID-19 — 12

Publish here

Two routes, both peer reviewed, both permanently archived.

Open access

$400 / ₹10,000 · typically 45 days from acceptance

Crossref DOI, certificate of publication, a soft copy of your article, and an open licence so anyone can read and cite it.

Subscription

Free to publish · typically 60 days

Full peer review, the same editorial standard, read by subscribing institutions. A DOI is optional on this route — ₹1,200 in India, $30 elsewhere.

Before you submit

Most papers that come back for revision come back for the same handful of reasons, and almost none of them are about the science. Separately from publication, our editorial office offers:

  • Language and copy-editing, with every change shown as a tracked redline you can accept or reject
  • Similarity and plagiarism screening before you submit anywhere
  • Formatting and reference correction, including DOIs filled in from Crossref where they are missing
  • Figure and table checks — the things reviewers notice first
Join the board

Our boards are not decorative. You apply once, name the journals you are willing to serve, and each editor decides independently. We will tell you either way.

For institutions

Institutional subscriptions cover the full archive with IP-range access, COUNTER-compliant usage reports and no per-seat limit. Trials run for 30 days on your IP range — no card, no commitment.
