About the Journal

Research Micro is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes high-quality original research across all areas of biomedical sciences and medicine.

Our Philosophy: Research Micro is committed to transparency, objectivity, and fairness, always considering the perspectives of both authors and reviewers. 

Our goal is simple: to publish high-quality, reproducible science. Editors remain approachable and open to discussion at every stage, before, during, and after review, to help authors present their best work.

Research Micro publishes only short-format manuscripts that communicate significant findings supported by solid, independent lines of evidence. The journal welcomes studies that either confirm or refute previous claims in scientific literature, and well-designed null or negative results that address meaningful scientific questions in biomedical sciences. 

Article types: Original research articles, Methods, and Opinions. Please Review submission guidelines for each article type.

  • Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology and Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
