AIMS & SCOPE

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.

We welcome submissions across all areas of biomedical science, including but not limited to:

Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Cell Biology and Genetics
Developmental Biology
Physiology and Pathophysiology
Immunology and Inflammation
Molecular Mechanisms of Disease
Cell Signaling
Stem Cell Biology, Exosomes and Extracellular Vesicles

PUBLICATION PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS

Our editorial process focuses on the robustness and validity of research under consideration, from methodological, analytical, statistical and ethical perspectives, rather than making subjective decisions on your manuscripts. We ensure whether the presented scientific data supports or refutes your hypotheses. Reviewers will assess the technical soundness and scientific validity of your methods, analysis and interpretation, all of which must be appropriate, properly conducted, ethically robust and fully supported by the data. We do not reject manuscripts based on novelty or simply because your results were negative and did not support your initial hypotheses. The publisher subscribes to the guidelines and principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
