BMC Microbiology

Announcing the launch of In Review

BMC Microbiology, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:

Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received

See the full range of benefits of In Review and how to opt-in
