Oxford University Press (OUP) is delighted to announce that on 30th January 2014 they signed a contract with the prestigious Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) to publish their five journals from 1st January 2015.
FEMS brings together 50 member societies from 35 European countries, covering over thirty thousand microbiologists. FEMS facilitates the exchange of scientific knowledge to all microbiologists in Europe and worldwide through the publication of their five respected journals:
FEMS Microbiology Ecology
FEMS Microbiology Ecology publishes high quality papers that make a significant contribution to the understanding of microbial ecology.
FEMS Microbiology Letters
FEMS Microbiology Letters focuses on concise articles that merit urgent publication by virtue of their originality. It also features MiniReviews, which cover all aspects of microbiology.
FEMS Microbiology Reviews

Jim Prosser OBE, Publications Manager, FEMS says: “The next few years will see important developments in publishing and in FEMS’ broader activities. We are therefore delighted to be entering into partnership with OUP at this crucial time and look forward to combining forces to take the FEMS journals to the next level.”
