List of GOI approved peer reviewed bioinformatics and computational biology journals

Jit — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 05:03:27 -0500

Unfortunately, we now live in a world where the integrity of peer-reviewed journals is being threatened by the rise of the academic version of fake news – something many call “predatory publishing". Mostly in academic publishing world, "predatory open access publishing" is an exploitative open-access publishing business model that involves charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services associated with legitimate journals (open access or not).

Nearly 20% of the such journals have a flashy impact factor and quick publication time, which are quick give-aways. Interestingly, under contact address, some journal websites do not even provide any address to contact. All of this has led to the emergence of a new and dark market of deceptive publishers that exploit the concept of open access and provide channels for “scientific journal” publication with little or no peer review. For a fee, they will publish almost anything – even if the study was fatally flawed. And these journals provide a forum that can be used as a channel to publish fraudulent “advocacy research.” You can find list of certain such publishers at "Beall's List" http://beallslist.weebly.com/

Keeping all these in mind, Government of India (GOI) decided to approved certain bioinformatics and computational biology journals for your research publication.

Following are the list of GOI validated and peer reviewed bioinformatics and computational biology journals:

NOTE:Each journal details are in following order Tittle\nSource\nSubject.
Point to remember: The list of journals are NOT sorted in any ascending or descending order.

If I missed any other GOI validated bioinformatics journal, then please report me in comment section.
