In 2020, Microorganisms (ISSN 2076-2607) established a collaboration with the Spanish Society for Nitrogen Fixation (SEFIN). As part of this collaboration, all affiliated SEFIN members will enjoy a discount on the Article Processing Charges (APC) when submitting articles to Microorganisms.

The Spanish Society of Nitrogen Fixation (SEFIN) has the following two major objectives: (1) to gain deeper insight into the process of biological nitrogen fixation and the beneficial interactions between plants and microorganisms, thus contributing to the improvement of sustainable agriculture and environmental protection; and (2) to promote the organization of scientific meetings, to facilitate the exchange of ideas between professionals interested in agricultural development and between other national or international organizations with similar or complementary goals. Currently, SEFIN has more than 100 members with expertise in the fields of microbiology, plant physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, and agronomy. The members belong to more than thirty research groups from universities and private and public research institutions. Since 2004, SEFIN has belonged to the Confederation of Spanish Scientific Societies (COSCE), which includes over 80 societies and 40,000 scientists.

Microorganisms provides an advanced forum for studies related to prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses, and prions. The journal publishes original scientific research articles, comprehensive reviews, comments, commentaries, perspectives, etc. The journal is covered by leading indexing services, including the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Scopus, PubMed, PMC and many other databases.

Microorganisms is looking forward to a very fruitful collaboration with SEFIN.
