Peer Review of Manuscripts Submitted Via the Academy Fellowship Track
Year: 2011
Type: peer-review
Abstract: When the American Society for Microbiology set out to create a topflight entry into the new world of online, open-access journals, it had a number of assets in its favor. Endorsement by the American Academy of Microbiology (AAM), ASM’s honorific branch, was one of the critical assets. The AAM is home to more than 2,000 Academy Fellows, each of whom has been identified by a highly selective election process as an outstanding, internationally respected scientist. When mBio was launched, AAM Fellows were given the opportunity to submit their research findings on a privileged track (see http://mbio.asm.org/site/misc/fellows.xhtml for complete details), similar to that provided to members of the National Academy of Sciences for publication in that organization’s Proceedings. This track can lead to very rapid decisions when the editors accept the reviews provided by the submitting author.
