The Biological Society of Ethiopia
is a professional association of biologists with about 700 members.
One of the objectives of the Society is to publish scientific
journals and other documents as media for communication among
its members and the other researchers in the diverse fields of
biology. To this effect, the Ethiopian Journal of Biological
Sciences (Ethiop. J. Biol. Sci.) was launched in September
2002 as an official journal of the Biological Society of Ethiopia
(BSE). It is a biannual (March and September) journal that covers
all aspects of basic and applied biology.
The Editorial Board of Ethiopian
Journal of Biological Sciences would
like to thank all the reviewers that have so far reviewed manuscripts
that appeared in volume 1(1) to 5
(1).
