Reasons to publish with the Microbiology Society

When deciding where to publish, authors have a variety of options. Here we discuss why you should consider publishing your next article with the Microbiology Society.


Publishing for the community

Microbiology Society journals contain high-quality research papers and topical review articles. We are a not-for-profit publisher and we support and invest in the microbiology community, to the benefit of everyone. This supports our principal goal to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. For example, publishing one article with us generates the revenue to give grants to four early career members to attend Annual Conference.
