''Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry'' is a monthly, peer-reviewed, scientific journal published by the Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology and Agrochemistry, of which it is the official journal. It was established in 1924 as , which was renamed to ''Agriculture and Biological Chemistry'' in 1961. The journal took its current name in 1991.

Scope

The focus of ''Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry'' is previously unpublished original research results on all topics and fields concerning bioscience,
