6th Annual International GSTF Conference on Advances in Biotechnology (BIOTECH) 2016 Singapore

Jour­nal: All authors who present their papers at the con­fer­ence will be invited to sub­mit an extended ver­sion of their research paper for the GSTF Jour­nal of Bio­Sciences (JBio) (Print ISSN: 2251 – 3140, E-​periodical: 2251 – 3159). All sub­mit­ted papers will go through blind review process for accep­tance. All accepted papers (after the review process) will be included in the JBio on a com­pli­men­tary basis (free-​of-​charge). GSTF JBio is hosted and pub­lished on Springer’s Open Access pub­lish­ing plat­form — Global Sci­ence Jour­nals (GSJ). In addi­tion, it will be indexed by PubMed Cen­tral (PMC), CAS, EBSCO, Cross­Ref, Pro­Quest, Cabell’s Direc­to­ries, and will be sub­mit­ted to Google Scholar, Sci­enceDi­rect, Index­Coper­ni­cus, amongst others.

Book: Selected authors will be invited to con­tribute book chap­ters in “Appli­ca­tions of Biotech­nol­ogy in Devel­op­ing Coun­tries” to be pub­lished by GSTF. The book will be edited by Dr. Farhad Memarzadeh, Direc­tor, Divi­sion of Tech­ni­cal Resources/​ORF, National Insti­tutes of Health (NIH), USA.

Best Paper Awards and Best Stu­dent Paper Awards will be con­ferred at the con­fer­ence (in order to qual­ify for the award, the paper must be pre­sented at the conference).

Panel Pro­pos­als are invited for sub­mis­sion. A min­i­mum of three papers cen­ter­ing on a spe­cific topic will be accepted for sub­mis­sion under Panel Cat­e­gory.
