The life of a scientist is to do research and write quality papers. These two go hand in hand therefore they are inseparable.

Publishing in a good and beneficial microbial journal is not an easy task because your papers have to be of good quality, let alone studying published papers.

Whatever the reason why you are searching for a microbial journal, you’re on the right page because in this post I’ll be listing out quality microbial journals for you.

A Quick Intro to Microbial Journals And How To Determine Their Importance

There’s one piece of information you have to look out for when searching for journals, and that is, you have to be niche-specific, your area of expertise.

And to know how important a journal is within its field, you have to know its IMPACT FACTOR (IF).

Journals with high impact factors are generally seen to carry more prestige than others with low impact factors.

This method of determining the importance of a journal started in 1975 and it has been used by Universities and funding bodies.

Albeit, this metric has come under criticism for its being inaccurate.

Other methods of measuring journal impact have been developed to revolve around this category; journal-level metrics (e.g CiteScore), author-level metrics (e.g H-Index) which apply to individual researchers, and article-level metrics.

A List of Beneficial Microbial Journal

Below is a list of well carefully selected microbial journals where quality papers are being published regularly.

American Society of Microbiology Journal

This is the foremost Journal of microbiologists worldwide. Here, you will get up-to-date and authoritative materials that would satisfy your search.

The journals published here represent 26 percent of all microbiology articles and contribute 44 percent of all microbiology citations. Now, this is huge.
