BJM
IMPACT FACTOR 2015: 0,865
The journal Brazilian Journal of Microbiology (BJM) is a publication of the Brazilian Microbiology Society whose mission is to publish original studies, resulting from research carried out in the different areas of basic and applied microbiology.
The publication of the BJM began in 1959, when it was called “Revista Brasileira de Microbiologia”. In 1970, it was reissued with the name of “Revista de Microbiologia”. In 2000 it was reissued with its current name. Since 1970, the journal has been published quarterly, without interruption, with periodicity of four issues per year. On some occasions, special editions have been published. As of 2006, the publication became CDROM and in 2008, online.
In January 2006, the electronic submission system began, and then, papers submitted by other means (email, regular mail, etc.) were no longer accepted. The whole process of evaluation of the papers submitted for publication, as well as the communication between authors and editors, takes place through the online system, using access login and password, which allows full process tracking.
The BJM has a strict peer review policy, where each article submitted for publication is evaluated by at least two experts in the corresponding area. Evaluators are selected based on their expertise. It is the policy of the Brazilian Journal of Microbiology that anyone involved in the publication process (authors, reviewers, editorial staff and assistants) should be free from conflicts of interest that may negatively influence opinion, objectivity and loyalty to its authors. The BJM recognizes that any conflict of interest detected should be promptly communicated and quickly resolved. Conflicts of interest can be potential, perceived or factual. In addition, the author(s) should inform, in the text of the article, if the research project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of their Institution, in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
Experimental studies involving animals must comply with the standards set out in the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” (Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC 1996), and the “Ethical Principles in Experimentation Animal of the Brazilian College of Animal Experimentation”, COBEA.
EDITORIAL BOARD
The Editorial Board includes Associate Editors for each of the areas covered by the BJM.

ETHICS
When the study, described in the manuscript, is related to experiments carried out with human beings and/or animals, author(s) must inform, within the text, if the research project has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of their institution, ac- cording to the Declaration of Helsinki (http://www. fcm.unicamp.br/fcm/sites/default/files/declaração_de_helsinque.pdf). Experimental studies involving animals should follow the guidelines established by the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK54050/) (Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D. C. 1996), and the Princípios Éticos na Experimentação Animal do Colégio Brasileiro de Experimentação Animal (CO- BEA) (Ethical Principles for Animal Experimentation of the Brazilian College of Animal Experimentation – http://www.cobea.org.br/conteudo/view?ID_CONTEUDO=65).
