BioTechniques

Established in 1983, BioTechniques was founded on two ground-breaking and inspired principles:

First, and most critically, seeing the need for a journal to properly communicate methods, techniques and new instrumentation to those researchers working in the lab, BioTechniques was the first publication to feature peer-reviewed, primary research articles focused on methods and techniques – focusing not only on cutting edge methods and technologies, but also on those used in the ‘common lab’ on a day-to-day basis. As such, BioTechniques is not only read but used by its audience at the bench.

The second transformational concept BioTechniques applied was an open-access model of publishing – therefore being one of the first open-access scholarly journals in the life sciences. This enabled wide distribution of content, initially as a print publication and now as an online-first proposition.
