STM publisher Elsevier has announced an agreement with the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) to publish its flagship journals, Clinical Microbiology and Infection (CMI) and New Microbes & New Infections (NMNI), beginning January 1, 2015.
Established in 1995, CMI is widely recognized as one of the premier international journals in the field. It is guided by an eminent editorial board led by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Didier Raoult, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France. The journal publishes peer-reviewed papers that present basic and applied research relevant to therapy and diagnostics in the fields of microbiology, infectious diseases, virology, parasitology, immunology and epidemiology.
To allow quick publication of new events in clinical microbiology and to facilitate data sharing by scientists in the field across the globe, ESCMID launched NMNI in 2013 under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Michel Drancourt, Aix-Marseille University. It serves the field as a multilingual, peer-reviewed, open access journal for rapid dissemination of the latest research, with a particular focus on new genomes, new microbes and new technology applied to the diagnosis of infectious and tropical diseases.
