About the Journal
Scope
The Hechos Microbiologicos Review (ISSN 2145-8898) is the official scientific publication of the School of Microbiology of the University of Antioquia. It is published in digital and printed format every six months. Its mission is to disseminate scientific knowledge related to the practice and processes in Microbiology and Bioanalysis, and other related disciplines in the areas of health, industry, environment and education in Microbiology. It seeks to maintain a path of exchange of knowledge and experiences with disciplines that have their center of action in basic and applied research.
Peer Review Process
All of the manuscripts that are received, which comply with the requirements of the journal are sent, withholding the author's information.
Articles submitted to the journal must be approved by the Editorial Committee and sent to one or two arbitrators outside the University of Antioquia, with experience in the field, who, anonymously and following an identical format review a manuscript and suggest possible ways of improving it. A reviewer should conduct his/her review within three weeks. Failing to get a response within the first week, an invitation to review will be sent to other peers.
When two coincident recommendations are received, the Editor will make a decision on the manuscript and will convey it to the submitting author.
The authors then will be given a period of 2-3 weeks to perform any adjustments needed and send their manuscript back for a second review, so that peer reviewers, always anonymously, can submit their final recommendation (publishable or unpublishable).
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
