5-year Impact Factor: 17.766

Immediacy Index: 4.523

Eigenfactor Score: 0.06469

Article Influence Score: 7.834

Aim and Scopes

Cell Host & Microbe was launched in March 2007. The journal’s mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts between scientists studying the microbe with those studying the host immune, cell biological, and molecular response upon colonization or infection by a microbe.

Cell Host & Microbe will publish novel findings related to microbes (which includes bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) from molecular and cellular biology to translational studies with particular emphasis on the interface between the microbe and its host (vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant; unicellular or multicellular). The unifying theme is the integrated study of microbes (pathogenic, non-pathogenic, and commensal) in conjunction and communication with each other, their host, and the cellular environment they inhabit. Work published in Cell Host & Microbe is expected not only to be of exceptional significance within its field but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. In addition to primary research manuscripts, Cell Host & Microbe will publish expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on topics of current interest in the field.

4. Nature Microbiology

Nature Microbiology Impact Factor (2019)

Impact Factor: 15.540

5-year Impact Factor: 16.293

Immediacy Index: 4.407

Eigenfactor Score: 0.04152

Article Influence Score: 7.458



Aim and Scopes

Nature Microbiology is an online-only, monthly journal publishing the best research from across the field of microbiology. All editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors.

Nature Microbiology is interested in all aspects of microorganisms, be it their evolution, physiology, and cell biology; their interactions with each other, with a host or with an environment; or their societal significance. Nature Microbiology provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in microorganisms can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of microbiologists.

In addition to publishing original research, Nature Microbiology will publish Commentaries, Reviews, News and Views, Features, and Correspondence from across the full range of disciplines concerned with microorganisms.

5. FEMS Microbiology Reviews

FEMS Microbiology Reviews Impact Factor (2019)

Impact Factor: 13.920

5-year Impact Factor: 15.636

Immediacy Index: 2.394

Eigenfactor Score: 0.01624

Article Influence Score: 5.316

Aim and Scopes

FEMS Microbiology Reviews publishes reviews dealing with all aspects of microbiology that have not been surveyed recently. Reviews should be devoted to topics of current interest and provide comprehensive, critical and authoritative coverage. They should provide new perspectives and critical, detailed discussions of significant trends in the areas being reviewed and may contain elements of a speculative and selective nature. All reviews should address both specialists and the general reader. Whenever possible, reviews should be put into the framework of general microbiology and biology. Manuscripts of lectures delivered at symposia that do not review the related field are not acceptable, nor are unevaluated compilations of the literature.

6. Trends in Microbiology

Trends in Microbiology Impact Factor (2019)

Impact Factor: 13.546

5-year Impact Factor: 13.537

Immediacy Index: 3.842

Eigenfactor Score: 0.02278

Article Influence Score: 4.800

Aim and Scopes

Trends in Microbiology provides a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of microbiology: from cell biology and immunology to genetics and evolution, and ranges across virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology.

Microbiology is, at present, one of the fastest moving disciplines in Life Sciences, thanks also to technological developments of recent years. The relative ease and rapidity with which small genomes can be entirely sequenced is beginning to have a significant impact on all areas of prokaryote biology, from pathogens to extremophiles, and will fuel new developments, for example, in drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzyme research. Recent international developments are also responsible for a renewed interest in microbiology.

The focus is on molecular microbiology and virology and includes topics such as genomics, the gamut of plant and animal host-pathogen interactions, host immune responses, characterization and evolution of virulence determinants, cell cycle and differentiation, symbiosis in plant and animal associations, environmental microbiology, biodiversity and evolution, population dynamics, sex and mutagenesis, antibiotic resistance and production, drug and vaccine targets, as well as aspects of prion diseases and of fungal and protozoan biology.
