Infectious Microbes & Diseases

Instructions for Authors

AIMS AND SCOPE

Infectious

Microbes & Diseases (IMD) is an international open-access

peer-reviewed journal that is dedicated to accelerate the dissemination,

exchange and utilization of basic, applied and clinical scientific

research results related to the field of infectious microbes and

infectious diseases.

By

utilizing the open-access model, IMD aims to contribute globally to the

translation of basic research findings and the evaluation of current

and novel treatments, into the promotion of optimal practices for

diagnosis and treatment of infections to improve the public health. IMD

strives for a rapid review process and only publishes manuscripts of

outstanding quality. IMD provides a forum where all researchers,

clinicians and policymakers can exchange their ideas and learn about the

most accomplished and significant advances in the field.

IMD publishes articles, review articles, guideline articles, letters, case reports, comments and

editorials from all fields related to infectious microbes and diseases, including but not limited to

Basic research on pathogens and medical microbiology

Basic research on infectious diseases

Emerging pathogens and infections

Host-microbe interactions

Microbiota and microbiota disbalance related to infectious diseases and treatment

Epidemiology of infectious diseases

Antimicrobial resistance and novel antimicrobials

Vaccine design, development and evaluation

Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics related to pathogens and infectious diseases

Neglected tropical diseases and travel medicine

Clinical description of infections

Host immune responses and immunology related to infectious diseases

Optimization of practices in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infectious diseases

Methodologies, protocols and treatment guidelines

Types of Manuscripts Published

Articles

are full-length reports of completed basic, translational or clinical

research. Articles should report important, novel and fully completed

studies with strong conclusions. There is a maximum length of 4000

words, but shorter articles can also be considered, as long as these are

fully completed studies. Preliminary reports cannot be accepted.

Articles have an abstract of maximum 250 words.

Review

Articles have an abstract of maximum 250 words and a word count of

approximately 5000 words. Review articles should not simply summarize

information, but also discuss the importance and impact of the data

providing a clear view on how these insights have transformed or will

transform the infectious diseases field. Authors of review articles are

encouraged to include several figures and tables to summarize and

visualize data.

Guideline

Articles report new or updated guidelines prepared by an international

group of experts. Guideline Articles should have an abstract of maximum

250 words stating the need for the new guideline and the main

conclusions. Authors of guideline articles are encouraged to include

several figures and tables to summarize and visualize the various

aspects of the data and the guidelines.

Letters

are short discussions based on limited new data that still come to

solid conclusions or initiate important new questions. Letters have no

abstract and therefore should begin with a short introductory paragraph

explaining the background and the rationale for the letter. Letters can

only have 2000 words and 4 tables/figures.

Case

Reports are short articles reporting about rare medical conditions or

occurrences, or cases where a lesson can be communicated. Case Reports

should increase awareness of a condition, suggest a reasonable

diagnostic strategy, or demonstrate a more cost-effective approach to

management. A case report should bring something distinctive to the

attention of our specific readership.

Case Reports should be organized in the following way:

The

title should be provocative and reflect the value of the case. Since

there is no abstract, please start the case report with a short

paragraph to provide some background information that frames the

importance and relevance of the particular case being presented. Provide

a concise description of the patient history, including all facts

relevant to the remarkable observation. Key illustrations are highly

encouraged. Importantly, inclusion of investigative studies will

increase the value of the report. Finally, provide the most current

information on the patient's outcome. In the report, avoid inclusion of

details that do not increase comprehension of the case. The discussion

should aim to extract the main one or two lessons from the case. Include

references to other relevant reports, whether they are supportive or

contradictory to the current case. Alternative, scientifically-based

proposals for management of similar cases can be presented for

consideration.

Patient

release/permission forms are required at submission for all images

showing identifiable features. Physician forms are acceptable. Upload

release forms as supplemental files during submission.

Comments

are short discussions to be used to describe an own opinion on recently

published data in IMD. The authors of the original publication will be

contacted for a response, which if accepted, will be published in the

same issue as the 'Comment'. Comments have no abstract and should cite

the article under discussion.

Editorials

are invited articles to explain the importance of specific articles or

to provide opinions on general concepts in infectious diseases practice,

research or policy. Editorials have no abstract and are typically 1000

words long. Editorials who discuss a recently published article should

cite that article as the first reference.

ONLINE SUBMISSION

All

manuscripts must be submitted on-line. Once the manuscript has been

created, visit the submission site at

https://www.editorialmanager.com/imd/ to upload the manuscript. A

manuscript number will be assigned to the manuscript after submission.

The manuscript will be vetted for compliance to the Journal's

requirements. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in your

manuscript being returned to you for correction. Faxed, scanned or

emailed copies of manuscripts will not be accepted.

Please make sure all the required files are included in the submission.
