About PJABE
ISSN-0119-7312
The Philippine Journal of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering with ISSN-0119-7312, is published biannually by the Center for Agri-Fisheries and Biosystems Mechanization (BIOMECH), College of Engineering and Agro-Industrial Technology (CEAT), University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).
Established in 1997, the PJABE is a double-blind refereed journal written in English language, which aims to serve as a venue for the dissemination of information on recent research, development, and extension (RDE) outputs in the field of agricultural and biosystems engineering (ABE). It publishes significant results in the four (4) major fields of specialization in ABE, namely, agricultural machinery and farm power, agricultural, food and bioprocess engineering agrometeorology and farm structures, and land and water resources engineering, in the form of full paper/articles or research notes.
PJABE was recognized by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) in the Philippines as one of the Accredited Research Journals (Batch 1) for 2009-2012 under Category B per CHED Memorandum Order No. 09, Series of 2010.
From 1999 to date, BIOMECH has published 15 PJABE volumes and disseminated the journal to Government Agencies, State Universities and Colleges, and other institutions involved in the development of the ABE profession.
