The Society publishes peer-reviewed journals. The journals have expert international editorial boards and an international readership.
Microbiology, Journal of General Virology, Journal of Medical Microbiology, and the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology are subscription journals which offer a gold open access option. JMM Case Reports, Microbial Genomics and Access Microbiology are fully open access journals operating under a gold model.
The Society’s gold open access option is known as OpenMicrobiology, which allows authors and their funding bodies to make the final published version of their article freely available online upon payment of the article processing charge.

Access Microbiology
More LessAccess Microbiology is an innovative open research platform. Read more about it in this news story and the platform's About page.
As a sound science, open research platform, Access Microbiology offers a new service for members of our community to disseminate their work rapidly, transparently and rigorously. It supports the publication of replication studies, negative or null results, research proposals, data management plans, additions to established methods, case reports, software development, educational and outreach methods, and interdisciplinary work. We welcome work from all branches of microbiology and virology.

Journal of General Virology
More LessJournal of General Virology has been publishing peer-reviewed research for more than 50 years. We recognise the importance of virology as a unique discipline within microbiology, and actively collaborate with partners such as the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) to support the global virology community. The journal’s diverse scope reflects the evolving nature of virology today, covering all aspects of animal, plant, insect, bacterial and fungal viruses, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, molecular biology and immunology, virus–host interactions and antiviral compounds.

Microbiology
More LessMicrobiology is now fully Open Access (OA). Find out more about the transformation of the Society's founding journal and its OA future here.
As the founding journal from the Microbiology Society, Microbiology brings together communities of scientists from all microbiological disciplines and from around the world. Originally Journal of General Microbiology, we have been publishing the latest advances in microbiology since 1947. Today the journal reflects the diversity and importance of microbiology in addressing current global challenges, such as food security, environmental sustainability and health, by publishing fundamental and applied research across the breadth of the field.
