AME and MEPS have received international recognition as the leaders in their respective fields of science
Aquatic Microbial Ecology (AME) was founded by Otto Kinne, Fereidoun Rassoulzadegan and John Dolan. It is the successor to 'Marine Microbial Food Webs', which was founded by P. Bougis and F. Rassoulzadegan and published by the 'Institut Océanographique, Fondation Albert 1er Prince de Monaco', Paris, from 1985 to 1994. The last issue of 'Marine Microbial Food Webs' was Volume 8, Number 2
According to Journal Citation
Reports 2003, AME features 1.636 total citations and an Impact Factor of 2.116. Thus the journal has strengthened its position as the leader in its field.
AME serves as a worldwide forum for
scientific communications on all aspects of aquatic microbial dynamics.
In particular, the journal covers research on viruses, prokaryotes and
eukaryotes - both planktonic and benthic, autotrophic and heterotrophic
- in marine, limnetic and brackish habitats. AME strives for
- complete coverage of the ecology of microorganisms in aquatic
environments
- the highest possible quality of scientific contributions
- quick publication (3 months from acceptance to publication)
- an excellent technical standard of presentation
AME is international and
interdisciplinary. It presents rigorously refereed and carefully
selected Research articles, Reviews and Notes, as well as Comments/Reply Comments (for details see AME 27:209), Theme sections and As I See It (for details consult Guidelines for AME authors) concerned with:
- Tolerances and responses of microorganisms to variations in
abiotic and biotic components of their environment; microbial life under
extreme environmental conditions (climate, temperature, pressure, osmolarity,
redox, etc.).
- Role of aquatic microorganisms in the production, transformation
and decomposition of organic matter; flow patterns of energy and matter
as these pass through microorganisms; population dynamics; trophic
interrelationships; modelling, both theoretical and via computer
simulation, of individual microorganisms and microbial populations;
biodiversity.
- Absorption and transformation of inorganic material; synthesis
and transformation of organic material (autotrophic and heterotrophic);
non-genetic and genetic adaptation; behaviour; molecular microbial ecology; symbioses.
Conflicts of Interest
Authors, Reviewers and Editors must disclose relationships (e.g. financial, economic, institutional) that may affect the integrity of the scientific process.
