LETTERS IN APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY

Letters in Applied Microbiology (ISSN 0266-8254) is a peer-reviewed international journal published by Wiley-Blackwell in the United Kingdom, dedicated to advancing research in the field of applied microbiology. Operating on a monthly cycle, the journal primarily features short communications that highlight novel and practical findings across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including industrial, environmental, food, and medical microbiology, as well as microbial biotechnology. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the publication maintains a stable quality standard with a relatively rapid review process, making it an attractive option for researchers seeking timely dissemination of their work. With a Journal Citation Reports (JCR) impact factor hovering around 2.0, the journal is typically classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranking for biology and microbiology. Although it is a non-open access publication with moderate academic influence, it offers a competitive yet accessible platform for scholars who prioritize the speed of publication and the application-oriented nature of their microbiological research.
