Journal Title：Gut Pathogens

Gut Pathogens is a fast publishing, inclusive and prominent international journal which recognizes the need for a publishing platform uniquely tailored to reflect the full breadth of research in the biology and medicine of pathogens, commensals and functional microbiota of the gut. The journal publishes basic, clinical and cutting-edge research on all aspects of the above mentioned organisms including probiotic bacteria and yeasts and their products. The scope also covers the related ecology, molecular genetics, physiology and epidemiology of these microbes. The journal actively invites timely reports on the novel aspects of genomics, metagenomics, microbiota profiling and systems biology.

Gut Pathogens will also consider, at the discretion of the editors, descriptive studies identifying a new genome sequence of a gut microbe or a series of related microbes (such as those obtained from new hosts, niches, settings, outbreaks and epidemics) and those obtained from single or multiple hosts at one or different time points (chronological evolution).

Gut Pathogens 是一本出版速度快、內(nèi)容全面、知名的國(guó)際期刊，它認(rèn)識(shí)到需要一個(gè)獨(dú)特的出版平臺(tái)來(lái)反映腸道病原體、共生菌和功能性微生物群的生物學(xué)和醫(yī)學(xué)研究的全面性。該期刊發(fā)表有關(guān)上述生物體（包括益生菌和酵母及其產(chǎn)品）各個(gè)方面的基礎(chǔ)、臨床和前沿研究。范圍還涵蓋這些微生物的相關(guān)生態(tài)學(xué)、分子遺傳學(xué)、生理學(xué)和流行病學(xué)。該期刊積極邀請(qǐng)及時(shí)報(bào)告基因組學(xué)、宏基因組學(xué)、微生物群分析和系統(tǒng)生物學(xué)的新方面。

Gut Pathogens 還將根據(jù)編輯的判斷考慮描述性研究，以確定腸道微生物或一系列相關(guān)微生物的新基因組序列（例如從新宿主、生態(tài)位、環(huán)境、爆發(fā)和流行病中獲得的微生物）以及在一個(gè)或多個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)（按時(shí)間順序演化）從單個(gè)或多個(gè)宿主獲得的微生物。

Gut Pathogens創(chuàng)刊于2009年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY - MICROBIOLOGY全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)4.3，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
