Journal of Indonesia Genbank (JIGenbank) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to archiving and repositorying genetic data specifically originating from the Indonesian archipelago. The journal prioritizes the unique genetic diversity of Indonesia, which is one of the world's most "megadiverse" regions. The journal acts as a scholarly bridge between raw sequence data (often deposited in national or global databases) and scientific interpretation. Despite its regional focus, journal employs a rigorous peer-review process involving Indonesian experts to ensure that the data meets international scientific quality and ethical standards. Its primary goal is to document the genetic wealth of Indonesia’s endemic species, supporting conservation efforts and biotechnological innovation while asserting "sovereignty over genetic resources."
