Why Publish with Us?

Society-Owned & Mission-Driven

Our journal is owned and operated by the SGM in collaboration with SustainE, ensuring that all editorial decisions align with our mission: finding microbial solutions for a planet under threat. By publishing the best and most impactful research, we contribute to this goal.

Investing in Our Community

Revenue from our journal directly supports the global SGM community—funding research grants, educational outreach, symposia, SGM meetings, and policy reports. By publishing with us, you help sustain a circular model where contributions are reinvested into advancing microbiology.

Equitable & Inclusive

We are committed to equity in scientific publishing. Our progressive waiver policy enables broader access, waiving the Article Processing Charge (APC) for the first paper of an SGM member. Our double-anonymized peer review ensures that research is judged purely on quality—free from bias based on author identity or institution.

Global & Interdisciplinary

Our editorial board and peer reviewers span the globe, bringing international and interdisciplinary expertise. Beyond traditional microbiology, we explore connections to sustainability, environmental science, biotechnology, and real-world policy impact.

Commitment to Excellence

With robust editorial policies, dedicated editorial support, and a smooth peer review process, we ensure high standards in publishing. Authors receive constructive feedback to refine their work, whether accepted or not. Our in-house marketing and communications team helps amplify research impact within the global microbiology community.
