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.
