Aims and Scope
The Biochemical Engineering Journal aims to promote progress in the crucial chemical engineering aspects of the development of biological processes associated with everything from raw materials preparation to product recovery relevant to industries as diverse as medical/healthcare, industrial biotechnology, and environmental biotechnology.

The Journal welcomes full length original research papers, short communications, and review papers* in the following research fields:

Biocatalysis (enzyme or microbial) and biotransformations, including immobilized biocatalyst preparation and kinetics
Biosensors and Biodevices including biofabrication and novel fuel cell development
Bioseparations including scale-up and protein refolding/renaturation
Environmental Bioengineering including bioconversion, bioremediation, and microbial fuel cells

Bioreactor Systems including characterization, optimization and scale-up
Bioresources and Biorefinery Engineering including biomass conversion, biofuels, bioenergy, and optimization
Industrial Biotechnology including specialty chemicals, platform chemicals and neutraceuticals

Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering including bioartificial organs, cell encapsulation, and controlled release
Cell Culture Engineering (plant, animal or insect cells) including viral vectors, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines, and secondary metabolites
Cell Therapies and Stem Cells including pluripotent, mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells; immunotherapies; tissue-specific differentiation; and cryopreservation
Metabolic Engineering, Systems and Synthetic Biology including OMICS, bioinformatics, in silico biology, and metabolic flux analysis
Protein Engineering including enzyme engineering and directed evolution.

Verified Reviews

I submitted an article on wastewater testing, and the initial review took about four months. Three reviewers raised many questions and suggested revisions. The overall suggestion was a major overhaul, otherwise the paper would be rejected. At that time, upon receiving this email, I felt like my fate was hanging by a thread, but I didn't want to give up. So, I made significant revisions and carefully addressed each question raised by the reviewers. After submitting the revised manuscript and response, it took another two months, but it was ultimately accepted for publication.

It took exactly two months in total, with two reviewers. One asked a few simple questions, and the other suggested language modifications in various parts. The editing was rigorous and provided major revisions. The efficiency was also high, as it was accepted within 10 days of submission.
