Trends in Biotechnology is unique in drawing together a wide readership of scientists and engineers from the many disciplines
of the applied biosciences. As in the successful biotechnology companies and leading academic research groups, Trends in Biotechnology
reflects the view that biotechnology is the integrated use of many biological technologies – from molecular genetics to biochemical
engineering. This integration is essential for the effective translation of novel research into application. The journal addresses what
is new, significant and practicable.
Its successful blend of articles has made Trends in Biotechnology one of the most highly
regarded and highly cited review journals in the field.

Ethics in Publishing: General Statement
The Editor(s) and Publisher of this Journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly or professional publishing.
While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the
paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research
and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers,
iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing
research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with
informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft
a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and
procedures that the Journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the
Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this Journal. A
conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or
organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the
Journal is the safest course. All submissions to the Journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting
a potential conflict of interest. The Journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures
if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the Journal not to publish on the
basis of the declared conflict.
