Announcing In Review - now available in BMC Microbiology

BMC Microbiology is launching In Review, a new option that provides authors with on-demand information on the status of their manuscript, enables them to share their work with funders and their research community, and allows their colleagues to comment and collaborate - all whilst their manuscript is under review.
