The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) has launched the inaugural issue of mBio, a new open access online journal designed to make microbiology research broadly accessible. The focus of the journal is on rapid publication of cutting-edge research spanning the entire spectrum of microbiology and related fields.
The inaugural issue is available online at http://mbio.asm.org. As new articles are finalised they will be posted to the website weekly and will be archived as monthly issues. Readers can also follow the publication via its blog, RSS feeds, Twitter stream and Facebook page, all accessible from the main homepage. Every published research article will be accompanied by a brief non-technical summary written by the author in language that conveys the importance of the work to non-specialists in that area of research.
Full text of mBio articles and supplemental materials will be accessible immediately upon publication. Full text of mBio articles will also be deposited in PubMed Central with access immediately upon publication. mBio authors have been asked to sign a licensing agreement granting publishing rights to ASM and permitting unrestricted non-commercial reuse by others.
