Microbiology, the Microbiology Society’s founding and flagship journal, has launched a Rapid-Review track, providing a more streamlined submission process for authors of manuscripts previously rejected from selective journals.
Journals rely on the efforts of reviewers to ensure that they continue to publish high-quality articles. Peer reviewers play a key role in the publishing process by donating their time and expertise, and with the increasing amount of research being submitted to journals, academics receive more and more requests to review. Through this track, authors will be able to send a manuscript previously rejected from selective journals, and the reviewer reports, to a Senior Editor for consideration for rapid review. This thereby streamlines the peer review process and alleviates some reviewer fatigue.
The Microbiology Society is a not-for-profit publisher and we support and invest in the microbiology community.
