access microbiology is now open for submissions

the society’s new open science journal, access microbiology, is now open for submissions.

the journal is our response to concerns about research reproducibility and research waste, encouraging the publication of valuable research outputs which have historically been lost because they are not seen as ‘high impact’, creating a situation in which research is re-done in multiple labs for no gain. the journal is open access and fully compliant with all funder mandates, and members are encouraged to take advantage of the apc-free launch offer. so, dig out that unpublished paper reproducing other work, delivering negative results, or adding to an established method, and support your society while adding to your publication record.
