Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced the launch of a new journal - Gut Pathogens. This brings the number of journals published by BioMed Central to a total of 200, covering a broad range of subjects in biology and medicine. Niyaz Ahmed, Francis Megraud and Leonardo Sechi will serve as the Editors-in-Chief of the journal. They will be supported by an internationally renowned Editorial Board.
Gut Pathogens will publish articles on all aspects of the biology and pathogenesis of bacterial, parasitic and viral infections of the gut, including their diagnosis and clinical management. The journal is the official journal of The International Society for Genomic and Evolutionary Microbiology (ISOGEM).
All articles published in the journal will be archived in PubMed Central, the US National Library of Medicine's full-text repository of life science literature, and also at INIST in France and in e-Depot, the National Library of the Netherlands' digital archive of all electronic publications. The journal is also participating in the British Library's e-journals pilot project, and plans to deposit copies of all articles with the British Library.
