Joint Special Issues

The Publications Network shares publication expertise and develops cross-promotional opportunities for Member Societies who publish journals, books and any other publications. The following joint special issues are collections of top research from members of this network:

Europe’s Microbiology Network – The first issue by this network showcases a selection of the best research recently published in journals produced by societies in the FEMS microbiology network.

Microbiology & Infection – This collection of articles is curated in association with two of our Member Societies: the Association for General and Applied Microbiology (VAAM) and the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM).

Microbiology in Action – This special collection is a collaboration between seven Member Societies that showcases the best of microbiology.

Microbiology in Action II – This sequel to Microbiology in Action is a collaboration with eight of our Member Societies.

Building Microbial Communities – This collection was prepared for the occasion of FEMS2019 in Glasgow (July 7-11, 2019) and is a collaboration with 15 different journals linked to 10 societies affiliated with FEMS.

FEMS Journals and Open Access

Embracing an Open Future

All but one of the FEMS journals are now fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters remaining a subscription journal with free-to-publish and OA options. Open access is key to supporting the FEMS mission of disseminating high quality research as widely as possible: when high quality, peer reviewed sound science is open access, anyone, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, can read it.
