FEMS Microbes

Aims & Scope

FEMS Microbes is a new open access journal we are introducing to help meet the latest needs of researchers as authors and readers.

FEMS Microbes is our new community journal for sharing research findings.

In particular, it will be a venue for early career scientists to read, publish, and contribute – we intend to recognize the crucial, and often unnoticed, contribution to peer review by Early Career Scientists.

FEMS Microbes welcomes both direct submissions and manuscripts transferred from other FEMS journals, including both full-length research articles and short reports of broad significance in the field of microbiology and related disciplines.

Find out more about our editors' vision in the journal's first editorial, Announcing FEMS Microbes: open science toward a sustainable world.
