Dear Friends and Colleagues,

To date very few journals are available to accept video articles for submission/publication in our field, although these types of articles are of paramount importance in microbial ecology in order to share new techniques and approaches.

For this reason, I decided to open a Collection titled “Multi-targeted approaches to evaluate microbial interactions and ecosystem assemblages in diverse environments” on the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE): https://www.jove.com/methods-collections/919.

The purpose of the Collection is to offer a comprehensive overview of wet- and dry-labs perspectives in the field of microbial ecology.

The most recent Impact Factor for JoVE (ISSN 1940-087X) is 1.163, according to the 2019 Journal Citation Reports released by Clarivate Analytics in 2020, and the Journal is currently indexed in the major databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science.

After submission, each manuscript will be editorially and peer reviewed, which is typically a 1-2 month process. Once a text article passes review, a script will be generated. Generally, a filming date will be scheduled within 4-8 weeks after acceptance. A videographer will be sent to the authors’ site to film the procedure.

If you are interested, either message me or submit an abstract here:(https://www.jove.com/methods-collections/submit-an-abstract?collection_id=919).
