Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Antibiotics journal was founded in 2012. During the past ten years, Antibiotics has launched more than 100 Special Issues and published more than 1500 papers. The journal covers all aspects of antibiotic discovery, use and preservation. The year 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of Antibiotics. We are thus excited to celebrate the Antibiotics journal’s 10th anniversary with a Special Issue.
In honor of our 10th anniversary, we intend to publish several high-quality papers from established researchers in this field, and will apply some waivers of Article Processing Charges for these featured papers. Authors are invited to contribute an unsolicited manuscript, indicating in their cover letter that they wish to be considered for this Special Issue.
The scope of this Special Issue includes Reviews and Original Articles within the scope of the journal, including but not limited to, the following:
- Advances in research on new and current antibiotics and related bioactive medicinal agents;
- Antibiotic administration, drug–drug interactions and pharmacodynamics;
- Biochemical and genetics studies on microorganisms to produce improved antibiotics;
- Uses of antibiotics, including in animals and in agriculture;
- Clinical trials;
- New methods for assaying and evaluating antibiotics;
- Production and characterization of antibiotics;
