Knowledge is exploding with every moment and science is discovering new horizons with every passing
day. To encompass this knowledge and, particularly disseminate it to the scientific community free of
cost, was the major inspiring force behind the launch of Asian Journal of Agriculture and Biology
(AJAB). Another factor that motivated us was the narrow spectrum of the most of existing journals which
cover only one or two specific fields and do not focus on interdisciplinary approach. The need was deeply
felt by our team members and we decided to start a journal which would focus on all interrelated
disciplines of agricultural and other biological sciences. From here we perceived the idea of the name of
our new journal “Asian Journal of Agriculture and Biology”. We also decided that this would be online
only to save the wastage of paper as most of the scientific literature is accessed through internet and
people are least interested in printed copies of the articles. We deliberated a lot over free access of the
journal and concluded in its favor, keeping in view the basic right of every human being to have free
access to the knowledge of scientific discoveries and literature. It was also decided that AJAB will
publish original research manuscripts, short communications and review articles on environmental, plant,
animal and human sciences. Environmental sciences will cover areas of soil related research, residues and
food quality. Plant sciences will focus on plant diversity, distribution, genetics, bioinformatics and
biotechnology related issues. Animal sciences will deal with the health and diseases of vertebrate and
invertebrate animals and their treatment related research. Human sciences will relate to different aspects
of health and diseases of humans and various issues arising in medical sciences. The first issue of AJAB
is before you and we hope your constructive feedback to improve its matter and quality.
