The Journal of Biological Methods (JBM) (ISSN 2326-9901) is a new multidisciplinary and open-access journal committed to publishing peer-reviewed papers on cutting-edge and innovative biological techniques, methods and protocols.

JBM has been included by the following indexing and archiving services: Google Scholar, CrossRef, OCLC and SHERPA/RoMEO, and is working to get included by MEDLINE and PubMed Central. When it occurs, all papers already published will be retroactively indexed.
