Journal overview

Editorial board

Gut Microbes Reports publishes rigorous, clinically translational studies that reflect developing topics in the gut microbiome and related fields and aims to be the go-to choice for  new investigators or those exploring new areas, making all researchers feel engaged and considered.

The journal has a holistic, microbial ecology focus, and welcomes comparative, associative, and incremental studies which may not yet have reached the level of mechanism. We also look to bridge the gap between basic and clinical science and appeal more greatly to a surgical as well as clinical audience. 

Gut Microbes Reports is the sister journal of Gut Microbes , which has a more selective, mechanistic focus.

Although the main focus of the journal is to publish research and clinical results in humans; preclinical, animal and in vitro studies may be published where they will shed light on disease processes and therapies.

Taylor & Francis are currently supporting a 100% APC discount for all authors.
