Contributions of broad biological interest and impact are especially encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal's scope include those listed below: Microbial population and community ecology Theoretical advances in microbial population and community ecology, including novel theoretical development relevant to the diversity and structure of microbial populations and communities, advances in modeling and comparisons of microbial ecological principles with those in macroecology Biogeography of microbial populations Environmental factors (biotic and abiotic) defining the distribution and abundance of microbial populations Integrated advances in microbial ecophysiology Phage genetics and ecology and environmental virology, including studies of interactions between viruses and the environment, vectors of viral transmission, epidemiology, and diversity (including generation and maintenance) Community level research of microbial assemblages, with emphasis on the contribution of individuals and populations Microbial survival and persistence mechanisms: Development and selection for resistance (heavy metals, antibiotics etc.) Microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions Microbial communication and signaling, and advances that allow study on scales relevant to microbial interactivities Plant-microbe interactions, including feed back and response pathways, underlying mechanisms, environmental cues, unique traits, evolution, adaptation and fitness Threat of emerging diseases (pathogenicity, epidemiology, ecology of reservoirs, vectors and host) Symbioses and syntrophic relationships Microbial contribution to medical biotechnology and microbial therapy Commensal microbial ecology - intestinal, oral, etc. Evolutionary genetics Ecological aspects of experimental evolution Insights into genome evolution and adaptation Genetics and ecology of the horizontal gene pool Advances in mathematical and evolutionary genetics Integrated genomics and post-genomics approaches in microbial ecology Studies of in situ function, gene regulation and expression Metagenomic genomic approaches to understanding and accessing the genomic potential of microbial communities Novel microbial ecology approaches involving (environmental) proteomics and metabolomics Theoretical and practical advances in Bioinformatics, including improved linkages between ecological parameters and molecular data, as well as advances in curation and annotation practices Novel "-omics' approaches that address microbial activities and potential at the single-cell level Microbial engineering Environmental Biotechnology, including ecological interactions key to waste water treatment, water management, biofilters, energy production, etc. Development and mechanisms of microbial biocatalysts Developments in bioremediation and biodegradation Microbial contributions and potential in biofuel technologies Microbial process modeling and its application Geomicrobiology and microbial contributions to geochemical cycles Integrated advances in biogeochemistry Microbial contributions to geochemical cycles Importance and mechanisms of microbe-mineral interactions Microbial ecology and functional diversity of natural habitats Terrestrial and subsurface microbial ecology Aquatic and sediment microbial ecology Linking phylogeny and function in diverse ecosystems - common, novel and extreme Biofilm functional microbial ecology Aero - microbiology (distribution, source impact etc), including issues of climate and dispersal Microbial processes and interactions in extreme or unusual environments Microbial ecosystem impacts Impacts of microbial processes on climate change, and impacts of climate change on microbial communities and processes Food web structure, nutrient flow, and biological transformations from micro- through macro- scales Systems microbiology and integration of microbial ecology into systems ecology Instructions to Authors The ISME Journal is the official journal of the International Society for Microbial Ecology, which is committed to publishing high quality, independently peer-reviewed research and review material. The journal is published in partnership with Nature Publishing Group (NPG), which uses pioneering technologies, innovative formats and world-class production to provide premium information for scientific researchers in the public and private sectors, government agencies and educators. A key strength of NPG is its close relationship with the scientific community. By working closely with scientists, listening to what they say, and always placing emphasis on quality rather than quantity, NPG is the leading scientific publisher at finding innovative solutions to scientists' information needs, both for the Nature-branded publications and those published on behalf of society partners, including ISME. Publishing with The ISME Journal and NPG provides an author with a wide range of benefits:- Copyright and license to publish International Society for Microbial Ecology does not require authors of original research papers to assign copyright of their published contributions. Authors grant International Society for Microbial Ecology an exclusive license to publish, in return for which they can re-use their papers in their future printed work. NPG's author license page provides details of the policy and a sample form. Authors are encouraged to submit their version of the accepted, peer-reviewed manuscript to their funding body's archive for public release six months after publication. In addition, authors are encouraged to archive their version of the manuscript in their institution's repositories (as well as on their personal websites), also six months after the original publication. Authors should cite the publication reference and doi number on any deposited version, and provide a link from it to the published article on the NPG website. This policy complements the policies of the US National Institutes of Health, the Wellcome Trust and other research funding bodies around the world. NPG recognizes the efforts of funding bodies to increase access of the research they fund, and strongly encourages authors to participate in such efforts. Online submission - reducing publication times The ISME Journal has adopted NPG's online submission system, which allows authors to submit papers via the Web. This system speeds up the submission and refereeing process, and allows you to view the status of your paper online. Weekly publication online New articles in The ISME Journal, as in all NPG journals, are published weekly online ahead of the archival print issue, ensuring the research is made publicly available and can be cited as soon as possible after acceptance for publication. The online publication is identical to the printed version and is not a preliminary, unedited version, thus maintaining the journal's tradition of excellence and the integrity of the published record. Supplementary online material Authors are invited to submit additional supporting material such as data sets or video for publication in the online version of the journal. Online supplementary material makes the most of the Web as a delivery platform and can often give articles greater depth, making them more useful to readers. Quality Authors who choose to publish in any NPG journal can be assured that its staff's publishing, editorial and production skills are committed to maintaining the highest possible quality and standards. Exposure - widest possible readership All NPG journals, including The ISME Journal, are available online via site licenses to academic, corporate and government institutions and consortia. Journals are available to members of these institutions at the click of a mouse, adding speed and visibility to authors' research papers. Regular free e-mail alerts Content published in The ISME Journal has the potential to reach scientists around the world who have signed up for NPG's free table of contents e-alerts, ensuring additional exposure to authors. These e-alerts allow recipients to click through to the full article if they subscribe or work at an institution with a site license, or click through to the article's abstract for other readers. Focused subject areas on nature.com From immunology to physics, genetics to materials, subject-specific areas provide a focused environment for readers, providing a monthly updated focus for a particular field. Abstracting and indexing The ISME Journal is included in the leading abstracting and indexing services including ISI and MEDLINE. Extensive reference linking to MEDLINE, ISI and others via services such as Crossref and DOI numbers provide seamless online linking between articles and databases. Media coverage The Nature press office provides information about exceptionally interesting papers published throughout NPG. More than 2,000 journalists and media organizations worldwide subscribe to the press service, ensuring that papers receive maximum exposure in the world's most important media channels including newspapers, magazines, radio and television. Extending science further - global collaborations NPG and The ISME Journal support some projects aimed at making current research available to a broader community of scientists and practitioners. All NPG journals, including The ISME Journal, are in WHO's HINARI (Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative) program, which provides free access to public institutions in developing countries.
