TopNews and Announcements
**NEW FOR 2009 - Environmental Microbiology Reports**
From January 2009, Environmental Microbiology will no longer publish Brief Reports; instead, Brief Reports will be published in a new sister journal, Environmental Microbiology Reports. The new journal will be an online only vehicle dedicated to the rapid publication of important new findings that can be adequately documented by a limited amount of text and displays.
The journal will be identical in scope to Environmental Microbiology, will share the same editorial team and submission site, and will apply the same high level acceptance criteria. The two journals will be mutually supportive and evolve side-by-side.
