JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY

The Journal of Microbiology (ISSN 1225-8873) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Korean Society for Microbiology and distributed through Springer Nature, serving as a dedicated platform for disseminating high-quality research in the field of microbiology. Published monthly from South Korea, the journal encompasses a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry, including bacteriology, virology, mycology, environmental microbiology, and microbial biotechnology, with a particular emphasis on the integration of fundamental and applied studies. As an SCI-indexed publication, it maintains a rigorous review process and stable editorial standards, although it is not currently an open-access journal. While its impact factor fluctuates annually and it is typically ranked in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking system, the journal holds a solid reputation within the Asian academic community. Consequently, it remains a suitable venue for scholars engaged in microbiological research who seek a credible outlet for their work, offering a balanced opportunity for publication with moderate competitive pressure despite its more regional than global international reach.
