Post a video summary of your research
The ISME Journal is pleased to announce that authors can now upload video presentations to accompany their article when published. Presentations should provide a short, succinct summary of the research and be uploaded as Supplementary Material. Whilst enhancing reader experience, video summaries also provide an excellent tool for promotion to help increase visibility and reach. Please refer to the journal's Instructions for Authors for technical specifications.
Open Access Publication
Authors of research articles can opt to pay an article processing charge (APC) for their accepted articles to be open access online immediately upon publication. Open access articles are published under Creative Commons licenses, which allow authors to retain copyright to their work while making it open to readers.
