Indonesian Journal of Tropical Biology (IJTB) is a scientific journal that accommodates the results of basic and applied research in the field of tropical biology. The focus of this journal covers various aspects of biology such as ecology, biodiversity, conservation of biological resources, biotechnology, physiology, genetics, zoology, botany, and microbiology, especially those related to tropical ecosystems. IJTB aims to be a scientific communication forum for historians, researchers, and practitioners in developing science and its application to support tropical ecosystems and biological resources. Published manuscripts can be research results and results that have used scientific methodology standards. Therefore, the Indonesian Journal of Tropical Biology (IJTB) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Siti Widhatul Faefa Foundation, which is published three times a year (January-April, May-August, September-December) in online and print versions.

Focus and Scope:

The Indonesian Journal of Tropical Biology (IJTB) is a scientific journal that publishes original research articles, literature reviews, and brief communications in the field of tropical biology. This journal focuses on the exploration, conservation, and development of biological sciences related to biodiversity, ecology, and the tropical environment, particularly in Indonesia and other tropical regions.

The scope of IJTB topics includes, but is not limited to:

• Tropical Life Biology
  Covers research in zoology, botany, mycology, and tropical microbiology, focusing on the diversity, biology, and ecological roles of tropical organisms.

• Ecology and Conservation
  Includes studies on population dynamics, tropical ecosystems, endemic and endangered species, and evidence-based conservation practices in tropical environments.

• Biotechnology and Molecular Biology
  Focuses on the application of biotechnology, genomics, and molecular biology in the utilization, improvement, and conservation of tropical biological resources.

• Taxonomy and Systematics
  Encompasses the discovery, description, identification, and classification of tropical organisms, including phylogenetics and evolutionary relationships.

• Ecophysiology and Adaptation
  Investigates physiological functions, environmental adaptations, and response mechanisms of tropical organisms to environmental stressors.

• Environmental Management and Tropical Natural Resources
  Studies on sustainable management, ecosystem services, climate change mitigation, and restoration strategies of tropical natural resources.

• Tropical Biomedical and Health Sciences
  Research on natural compounds with therapeutic potential, tropical infectious diseases, ethnopharmacology, public health, and biomedical applications related to tropical environments.

• Biochemistry and Biophysics of Tropical Organisms
  Covers the biochemical pathways, structural biology, bioenergetics, and biophysical mechanisms that underlie the physiology and molecular functions of tropical organisms.

• Environmental and Ecosystem Biology
  Focuses on bioenvironmental processes, ecotoxicology, pollution impacts, bioremediation, and interactions among biological, chemical, and physical components of tropical ecosystems

Resources The journal is open to articles in Indonesian and English, and is aimed at academics, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners engaged in the field of tropical biology and the environment. All manuscripts will go through a peer review process to ensure their quality and scientific contribution.
