18 February 2013

SGM’s original journal, Microbiology, is offering another benefit to authors – completely free publication!

The Society for General Microbiology's original journal, Microbiology, is offering publication at no cost to its members. All papers accepted since December 2012 will be published completely free of charge. "I am really pleased that we have made publication in Microbiology free. This will benefit our authors by allowing them to convey their full report in a well-respected journal that maintains high-quality production standards," says Editor-in-Chief Dr. Agnès Fouet. 

I am really pleased that we have made publication in Microbiology absolutely free. Authors can convey their full report in a well-respected journal that maintains high-quality production standards.

Microbiology has a far-reaching readership – all papers are freely available online 12 months after publication – and is well cited, with an impact factor of 3.061. Papers receive fast and high-quality review; a first decision from expert international editors is reached within 4.2 weeks, on average. The journal’s research is relevant to and cited by the microbiology community, and could be the ideal place for your next research paper, whether you are a new or returning author.
