About the journal
Aim and Scope
As the first Open Access journal in its field, Journal of Oral Microbiology aims to be an influential source of knowledge on the aetiological agents behind oral infectious diseases. Of particular relevance are papers dealing with pathogenesis, virulence, host-parasite interactions, and immunology of oral infections. Moreover, papers suggesting improved strategies for treatment and prevention and new strategies where none exist are welcome, as well as work addressing the global agenda of oral infectious diseases.
Topics: oral infections, aetiologic agents, pathogenesis, systemic diseases, ecology/environmental microbiology, treatment, diagnostics, epidemiology, basic oral microbiology, taxonomy/systematics.
Types of papers: original research, review articles, debate pieces and short communications addressing current knowledge on the topic and the practical implications of implementing this knowledge.

Peer Review Process
Papers submitted to Journal of Oral Microbiology are subject to rigorous peer review so as to ensure that the research published is 'good science'.
Manuscripts are sent out for review electronically, and all correspondence takes place via e-mail. Although the peer review process is accelerated by the use of electronic communication, traditional, high-quality peer-review standards are applied to all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
When submitting an article, authors are invited to suggest two or three possible reviewers who should be experts in their field of study and the subject matter of the article. Authors should not suggest anyone who has published with any of the co-authors within the last five years or anyone who works at the co-authors' institutions. Minimum information to be given for the suggested reviewers is first name, last name and email address. The Editors may or may not make use of the authors' suggested reviewers.
Papers are sent to at least two independent referees.
Journal of Oral Microbiology has a 'double blind' review process: Authors are not told who reviewed their paper, and reviewers are not told who wrote the paper. Peer reviewers are informed of the identity of the authors immediately after the manuscript is either accepted or rejected. The referees’ identity remains unknown to the authors although it is up to the referee if he/she wants to contact the author at a later stage and reveal his/her identity.
Peer reviewers are asked to give their opinion on a number of issues pertinent to the scientific and formal aspects of a paper, and to judge the papers on grounds of originality and urgency. All relevant information will be forwarded to the author(s).
Peer reviewers will have six possible options, for each article:
1. Accept manuscript (i.e. no need for any revision)
2. Accept after revision (i.e. accepted if the author makes the requested revisions)
3. Revise and resubmit (i.e. accepted or rejected after revisions have been made - paper will be sent out for another peer review round)
4. Submit elsewhere (i.e. if the manuscript is better suited for another journal)
5. Reject manuscript (i.e. if the manuscript is substandard)
6. See comments (i.e. if the reviewer cannot choose from any of the above)
In addition, papers may be rejected directly by the Chief Editor if judged to be out of scope or if scientifically or formally sub-standard.
When asking for revisions, reviewers have two possible goals: to ask authors to tighten their arguments based on existing data or to identify areas where more data are needed. Even formal revision may be required if the language or style is sub-standard. To facilitate rapid publication, authors are given a maximum of 2 months for revision. After 2 months, revised manuscripts will be considered new submissions.
Publication Frequency
All articles to Journal of Oral Microbiology are posted online immediately as they are ready for publication. All articles will be assigned a DOI number (Digital Object Identifier) whereby they become searchable and citeable without delay.

Review articles Journal of Oral Microbiology publishes reviews dealing with all aspects of oral microbiology and other fields of concern to oral microbiologists, such as immunology, according to its scope. We invite authoritative and critical reviews of the current state of knowledge. Historical analyses may be accepted if justified by the importance of the subject. Manuscripts of lectures given at symposia and roundtables will not be accepted. However, authors can discuss with the editor the possibility of using such material as a basis for preparing a review. Authors are asked to address both clinical and/or basic microbiologists.
Reviews will undergo peer review.
Notes
Notes are intended for presentation of brief observations that do not warrant full-length papers. Please submit Notes in the same way as full-length papers. Notes undergo strict peer review and are not considered preliminary communications. Each Note should have an abstract of about 50 words. Do not use Section headings. Combine material and methods, results, and discussion in one section. Paragraph lead-ins are allowed. The text should be kept to a minimum, no more than 1,000 words. Number of figures and tables should also be kept at a minimum. Acknowledgments can be used as in full-length papers but without heading. The References section should be as in full-length papers.
Manuscript layout Wherever possible, the paper should follow the traditional layout: Introduction (motivation, problem identification and a short literature survey), present investigation (background, materials, subjects and results), and conclusion.
Begin each section, including figure and table legends, on separate sheets; insert running page numbers.
Figures Upon acceptance please supply figures/graphics/images in at least 300 dpi. For further information please see Guidelines.
If the figures/graphics/images have been taken from sources not copyrighted by the author, it is the author’s sole responsibility to secure the rights from the copyright holder to reproduce those figures/graphs/images for both worldwide print and web publication. All reproduction costs charged by the copyright holder must be borne by the author.
When figures/graphics/images are reproduced, a parenthesis should be added to the figure legend thus: (Reproduced with permission from xxx.)
Title page Organize the title page in the following way: 1) title of manuscript, 2) name of author(s), 3) name of department(s) and institution(s), and 4) name and full postal and email address of the corresponding author who also acts as 'Guarantor' for all parts of the paper. Please observe that the journal adheres to a 'double blind' review process and thus the identity of the authors should remain unknown until the paper is accepted; the submitted paper should not include author name, affiliation and corresponding author address.
The title should be informative and accurate and at the same time trigger the interest of the reader. A short running head will be derived from the title to appear on each page of the article.
Abstract Articles must include a structured abstract of 200-300 words. The abstract should provide sufficient information for a reader to be able to decide whether or not to proceed to the full text of the article. The abstract should be structured in the following way: Background, Objective, Design, Results, Conclusions. After the abstract, please give 5-10 key words; avoid using the same words as in the title.
Section headings Please do not number section headings. Use a maximum of three levels of headings made clear by orthographic indicators, i.e. capitals, italics, bold etc.
References Number the references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in the text by Arabic numerals and in parentheses, e.g. (14). References should follow the standard biomedical format, recommended by ICJME. ARTICLES FAILING TO FOLLOW THIS STYLE WILL BE RETURNED TO THE AUTHORS FOR CORRECTION.
Information from papers in manuscript but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as 'unpublished observation(s)' or 'personal communication'.

Publication Fees
The Open Access model used for Journal of Oral Microbiology implies that production costs are mainly covered by publication fees. We strive to keep publication fees at a minimum.
The publication of an article (up to 7 printed pages) in Journal of Oral Microbiology incurs a charge of EUR 1600, excl. VAT (Europe), USD 1850 (rest of the world). Articles exceeding 7 typeset pages may incur an additional charge of EUR 65/USD 75 per page. It is customary that the author’s institution covers the publication costs for articles resulting from research undertaken at the institution, or that money has been earmarked in the grant or stipend the author has received to be able to carry out the research. For a list of OA-friendly universities and funding agencies, please see here. Additional information on how to claim reimbursement/support for publication fees can be found here.
The total sum will be charged to the author(s) upon acceptance of his/her article. It is the publication year that governs the publication fee, not the submission year.
