Studies in Mycology

Aims & Scope

Studies in Mycology is an international peer-reviewed journal which publishes systematic monographs on the biodiversity of filamentous fungi and yeasts.

The first issue was published in 1972.

The journal is open-access, and from January 1 2016 it will change to the continuous publishing model, with one volume per year.

The emphasis of papers should be on fungal taxonomy and biodiversity.

Accepted papers will appear immediately online.

Authors who intend to submit monographs should contact the Executive Editor in advance.

There are no restrictions of length, though it is generally expected that manuscripts should be at least 50 A4 pages in print.
