Papers published in the journal cover all aspects of microbial taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, physiology and metabolism, molecular genetics and genomics, gene regulation, viruses of prokaryotes, as well as interactions between microbes or with their environment. Purely descriptive papers, as well as those which do not report significant advances in scientific research, are discouraged and may be rejected without review. Papers dealing with methods and theoretical microbiology may be published if they are associated with significant novel approaches and/or results. Papers on host-pathogen interactions, virulence and disease fall within the scope of the journal only if they cover the biology of the microbes. Currently, Research in Microbiology publishes the following types of papers: • Original articles: full-length research papers or brief notes • Reviews: generally commissioned, unsolicited reviews may also be considered. In this case, authors should contact the Editor-in-Chief. • Letters to the Editor: letters may be considered when a researcher wishes to comment on or respond to a published article. The Editor-in-Chief should be contacted for these or other types of contributions (news, book reviews, obituaries, etc.). Please also see: Research in Microbiology – Institut Pasteur
