If so, can you provide the process that you, or someone you know of went through to do it? I can't afford to continue to attend a university, though I have a home laboratory and have made significant gains in microbiology research, and would love to publish my findings.
Why not? Only criterion, you MS should qualify for publication considering its quality.
The process is not different for independent researchers. Go ahead in a usual way.
in the past most of valued research carried out by independent researcher. As for example Gregor Mendel who is father of Genetics, worked as a saint in the Church. Was Mendel's work rejected because of the church? this is big question indeed.
You plan your work, go with little progress. Best wishes
Peer review should be double blind so the referees do not know who you are or what is your affiliation. So, at least in theory, all that should count is the quality of your paper and the originality and validity of your findings. Go for it.
