Journal Beneficial Microbes: Call for papers

Beneficial Microbes is a peer-reviewed scientific
journal with a specific area of focus: the promotion of the science of microbes
beneficial to the health and wellbeing of man and animal. The journal contains
original research papers and critical reviews in all areas dealing with
beneficial microbes in both the small and large intestine, together with
opinions, a calendar of forthcoming beneficial microbes-related events and book
reviews.

The journal takes a multidisciplinary approach and focuses on a
broad spectrum of issues, including safety aspects of pro- & prebiotics,
regulatory aspects, mechanisms of action, health benefits for the host, optimal
production processes, screening methods, (meta)genomics, proteomics and
metabolomics, host and bacterial physiology, application, and role in health and
disease in man and animal. Beneficial Microbes is intended to serve the needs of
researchers and professionals from the scientific community and the food and
feed industry, as well as those of policy makers and
regulators.

Contributions to Beneficial Microbes must be original
(research) and will be subject to peer review. Submitted papers must follow the
authors guidelines to be considered for review and publication. Refereeing of papers
is conducted anonymously and the identity of the referees is not
disclosed.

Papers are welcome through Manuscript Central. It should
be noted that the first issue will become available online for free, so that
likely the papers in this first issue will be downloaded quite frequently and
reach a large audience.
