Impact Factor News

2008 JCR metrics from Thomson Reuters provide IET Nanobiotechnology with an Impact Factor of 1.638*.

*Figure based on cites in 2008 to IEE Proc. NBT (2006) and IET NBT (2007)

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

Citing this Journal

IET Nanobiotechnology is usually cited by the abbreviated title 'IET Nanobiotechnol.' Every article in this journal is assigned a Crossref DOI, which is displayed on the article abstract page.

Previous Title

IET Nanobiotechnology was previously published as IEE Proceedings Nanobiotechnology. Following the merger on March 31st 2006 between the IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers) and the IIE (The Institution of Incorporated Engineers) to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the IEE Proceedings suite of journals changed name at the beginning of 2007 to reflect the fact that they were now published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. IET Nanobiotechnology starts from Volume 1, Issue 1 from February 2007 onwards. All other benefits of publishing in the journal, including our worldwide readership and database coverage, remain unchanged.

Online subscribers to IET Nanobiotechnology can also access all backfile issues of IEE Proceedings Nanobiotechnology from 2003-2006 as part of their current online subscription.
