Following the publication of Index Copernicus’ Journal Master List 2009, IET Nanobiotechnology has received an ICV of 21.07.

Scopus' SCImago Journal and Country Rank (SJR) lists IET Nanobiotechnology in the first quartile of its 'Biotechnology' and 'Electrical and Electronic Engineering' categories.

Scope

IET Nanobiotechnology covers all aspects of research and emerging technologies including, but not limited to:

• Fundamental theories and concepts applied to biomedical-related devices and methods at the micro- and nano-scale (including methods that employ electrokinetic, electrohydrodynamic, and optical trapping techniques)
• Micromachining and Microfabrication tools and techniques applied to the top-down approach to Nanobiotechnology
• Nanomachining and Nanofabrication tools and techniques directed towards biomedical and biotechnological applications (e.g. applications of Atomic Force Microscopy, Scanning Probe Microscopy and related tools)
• Colloid chemistry applied to Nanobiotechnology (e.g. cosmetics, suntan lotions, bio-active nanoparticles)
• Microtechnologies such as Lab-on-Chip applied to pharmaceutical, biomedical and biotechnological applications
• Techniques for probing cell physiology, cell adhesion sites and cell-cell communication
• Molecular self-assembly, including concepts of supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition, and DNA Nanotechnology
• Societal issues such as health and the environment

Special Issue

IET Nanobiotechnology is delighted to be working with the 6th Annual IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems (NEMS 2011) to produce a Special Issue of some of the best, expanded papers from the conference. The issue will be Guest Edited by Prof. Gwo-Bin Lee (National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan)
