Microbiology's Open Access transformation: mid-year content spotlight

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Microbiology Society

To celebrate 6 months fully Open Access, we’re taking a look at some of the remarkable content published in Microbiology in 2023.

Sharing advances across the field of microbiology for over 75 years, Microbiology – the Microbiology Society’s founding journal – transitioned to fully Open Access (OA) in January 2023. This exciting transformation has made research in this established, peer-reviewed journal accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Publishing OA in Society titles helps authors to make an impact, with OA articles seeing an average of 4 times more usage and 2.6 times more citations than paywalled content, based on data from Web of Science. What’s more, as a not-for-profit Society, any revenue raised by publishing raises funds for grants, events and policy projects for microbiologists across the world.
