MicrobiologyOpen is a peer reviewed, fully open access, interdisciplinary journal delivering rapid decisions and fast publication of microbial science, a field which is undergoing a profound and exciting evolution in this post-genomic era. The journal gives priority to reports of quality research, pure or applied, that further our understanding of microbial interactions and microbial processes. MicrobiologyOpen gives prompt and equal consideration to papers reporting theoretical, experimental, applied and descriptive work in all aspects of microbiology. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and applied microbiology. We will consider submissions across eukaryotic microorganisms, prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), as well as viruses and prions infecting or interacting with microorganisms, plants and animals, including genetic, biochemical, biophysical, bioinformatic and structural analyses. The journal features Original Articles (including full Research articles, Method articles, and Short Communications), Commentaries, Reviews, and Editorials. Original papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the article. We also support confirmatory research and aim to work with authors to meet reviewer expectations.

MicrobiologyOpen是一份經過同行評審的、完全開放獲取的跨學科雜志，提供微生物科學的快速決策和快速出版，該領域在后基因組時代正在經歷深刻而令人興奮的演變。該雜志優先考慮質量研究報告，純或應用，以進一步了解微生物相互作用和微生物過程。MicrobiologyOpen對報道微生物學各個方面的理論、實驗、應用和描述性工作的論文給予及時和平等的考慮。該雜志旨在為希望在基礎微生物學和應用微生物學領域發表有趣和高質量工作的作者提供一個平臺，從而服務于研究社區。我們將考慮真核微生物、原核生物(細菌和古生菌)、感染或與微生物、植物和動物相互作用的病毒和朊病毒，包括遺傳、生化、生物物理、生物信息學和結構分析。該雜志以原創文章(包括完整的研究文章、方法文章和簡短的交流)、評論、評論和社論為特色。原始論文必須報告良好的研究進行與結論支持的數據中提出的文章。我們也支持驗證性研究，并致力于與作者合作，以滿足審稿人的期望。
