The Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology (IJBiotech) is an open access, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of novel research in all aspects of biotechnology, with particular attention paid to the exploration and development of natural products derived from tropical—and especially Indonesian—biodiversity. IJBiotech is published four times a year (March, June, September, and December) and accepts original research articles featuring well-designed studies with clearly analyzed and logically interpreted results. A strong preference is given to research that has the potential to make significant contributions to both the field of biotechnology and society in general. IJBiotech is published by the the Research Center for Biotechnology in collaboration with the Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada, and is nationally accredited by the Directorate General of Research and Development of the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia,
