Steadily Progress into the Future

Abstract

This new journal of Applied Environmental Biotechnology (AEB) is celebrating its 3rd year of birthday in 2018. It has a relative short publication history on the academic publishing market for the last 3 years only with a total of 5 issues published in 3 volumes currently, including 1 issue in 2016, and 2 issues in 2017 and 2018, to form the complete archives. The year 2018 is also an important and celebrated one for this journal: AEB has been accepted for inclusion in the CAS database in March and then Scopus in December, both being achieved within the same year. This is a significant milestone in the history of AEB. If an impact factor (IF) was issued to this journal now, it is greater than 1.0 for sure. AEB has a very good future and a great potential to grow further.
