mSphere™ is a pan-microbiology open-access journal
that will focus on rapid publication of fundamental
contributions to our understanding of microbiology.
Its scope reflects the immense range of fields within
the microbial sciences, creating new opportunities for
researchers to share findings that are transforming
our understanding of human health and disease,
ecosystems, neuroscience, agriculture, energy
production, climate change, evolution, biogeochemical
cycling, and food and drug production.
mSystems™ seeks to publish preeminent work that
stems from applying technologies for high-throughput
analyses to achieve insights into the metabolic and
regulatory systems at the scale of both the single cell
and microbial communities. The scope of mSystems™
encompasses all important biological and biochemical
findings drawn from analyses of large data sets, as well
as new computational approaches for deriving these
insights.
mSphere™ welcomes high-quality scientific studies
in any area of the microbial sciences, including work
by scientists who work with microbes but may not
consider themselves “microbiologists.” The journal
provides a rapid review process and avoids multiple
rounds of revisions due to an editorial structure that
empowers editors to make decisions in a streamlined
manner.
mSystems™ will welcome submissions from
researchers who focus on the microbiome, genomics,
metagenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics,
proteomics, glycomics, bioinformatics, and
computational microbiology. mSystems™ will provide
streamlined decisions, while carrying on ASM’s
tradition of rigorous peer review.
