The Journal of Sciences and Engineering of Bio-Based Products is a newly established peer-reviewed academic journal, founded in 2025 at Tarbiat Modares University.
Bio-based products are technological, commercial, or industrial goods that are obtained (directly or indirectly) from living organisms or derived from materials attributed to living beings. The growth of the global population, the economic significance of bio-based products, the rising demand for environmentally compatible goods, and their importance for public health have, particularly over the past two or three decades, placed biotechnology, the production of bio-based materials, and even nature-inspired industries at the center of attention for scientific institutions, economic enterprises, and industrial sectors alike.
Environmental and agricultural engineers, in parallel, are striving to develop environmentally sensitive and effective methods for producing food, fibers, wood, bio-based materials, and renewable energy resources. On the other hand, in the field of resource management, one of the constant concerns of global policymakers and economic managers has been to enhance the role and share of bio-based products in the economy and resource supply systems.
Accordingly, one of the outcomes of this approach has been the expansion of scientific centers, infrastructure, and research projects, as well as the increasing engagement of researchers in this field. Without doubt, creating adequate platforms for disseminating and increasing the visibility of research achievements at the national and international levels is essential.
Given the country's scientific, technological, and industrial growth in the fields of life sciences, agriculture, engineering, environmental studies, and medicine, the establishment of an academic journal focusing on the publication and promotion of bio-based scientific achievements, while also highlighting related products and technologies, will undoubtedly not only contribute to the advancement of this field, but also provide an effective platform for students and researchers to benefit from national scientific capacities and practical experience, and to strengthen the connection between academia and industry.
