Scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group (NPG), UK, has announced that the
Emerging Microbes and Infections (EMI) journal is currently inviting submissions. The new online-only, peer-reviewed open access journal is expected to publish its first articles in July 2012 on nature.com. Submissions can be made via links at www.nature.com/emi.
EMI will report important discoveries of emerging microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens) including their previously unknown phenotypic or genotypic characteristics, as well as cutting edge information associated with microbial mechanisms of pathogenesis, immune evasion and protection, clinical presentation and outcome, drug efficacy and its resistance, epidemiology and other issues important to global health.
Founding Co-Editors-in-Chief Prof. Yumei Wen (Fudan University, Shanghai, China) and Prof. Hans-Dieter Klenk (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany) are supported by an 86-member international editorial board.
All articles published in EMI will be open access, on payment of an article processing charge (APC). Authors will have a choice of two non-commercial Creative Commons (CC) licenses. The journal is the 13th journal published by NPG in the Asia-Pacific region, and joins more than 50 journals among NPG's academic and society journal portfolio that are open access or offer open access options.
