The founding publication of the Microbiology Society, Microbiology, which has published developments in the discipline for more than 75 years, has now made the shift to full open access (OA). This groundbreaking change for a prestigious journal is a reflection of the Society's dedication to the future of Open Science.
Originally published as the Journal of General Microbiology in 1947, the journal now reflects the range and significance of microbiology in solving contemporary global concerns such as food security, environmental sustainability, and health. Microbiology's transition to OA makes this research more accessible to a worldwide audience, boosting the chances for microbiologists to broaden their influence.
The Microbiology Society, a not-for-profit publisher, is increasingly moving its portfolio to OA to help researchers and institutions: Expand their reach; ; Increase their impact; and Support their community.
To help more researchers than ever benefit from OA, Microbiology Society currently Publish and Read agreements with more than 300 institutions across the world. This comprehensive model entitles affiliated authors unlimited, fee-free OA publishing and full-read access to journals with minimal administration for librarians.
