About the Journal

Annales Bogorienses (eISSN: 2407-7518 | pISSN: 0517-8452) is a distinguished, open-access, peer-reviewed journal published biannually (June and December) in English. Dedicated to advancing the life sciences, the journal serves as a premier platform for cutting-edge research, with a specialized emphasis on biofilm phenomena and therapeutic development.

Established in 1955 by the National Biological Institute, Annales Bogorienses boasts a rich legacy of scientific dissemination. Over the decades, the journal has continuously adapted to the forefront of scientific innovation. Initially focused on basic and applied sciences across agriculture, health, and industry, the scope was refined in 2004 to spotlight biotechnology, molecular biology, and biochemistry, later expanding in 2021 to encompass bioinformatics and bioengineering. Following its tenure under the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) from 1996 to 2020, the journal is currently published and managed by the Directorate of Repositories, Multimedia, and Scientific Publishing under the National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia (BRIN), effective 2022.

Reflecting its high editorial standards and national impact, Annales Bogorienses holds a prestigious Science and Technology Index (SINTA) Score 2 (S2) accreditation for the 2020–2025 period (Decree of the Director General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology No. 158/E/KPT/2021). To ensure maximum discoverability and academic reach, the journal is widely indexed across prominent databases, including SINTA, Garuda, Google Scholar, ISJD, OAJI, Infobase, DAIJ, CiteFactor, and CiteULike.

Marking a new era of specialized research, the journal forged a strategic collaboration with the Indonesian Biofilm Research Collaboration Centre (IBRCC) in 2025. Today, Annales Bogorienses invites high-quality submissions centered on its core thematic areas:

  • Biofilm-Associated Infections
  • Drug Discovery (specifically antimicrobials and antibiofilms)
  • Food Safety & Foodborne Pathogen-Related Biofilms
  • Environmental Biofilms
