Micropublications fills an essential need for reporting small but rigorous scientific results. We need to keep it going!

Morris Maduro, UC Riverside

Looking forward to submitting to microPublication again in the future.

Elizabeth Delorme-Axford, Oakland University

Helped my intern get a Master's scholarship!

Patrick Narbonne, University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres

For my lab, micropublications have provided a much needed venue to publish snippets that could be useful to others, but do not tell a complete story.

Judith Kimble , University of Wisconsin-Madison

microPublication allows us to get our cool, but small findings published for all to see

Brent Neumann, Monash University

For my entire scientific career, I've longed for a publication format that is welcoming to negative data. Who knows how many resources have been wasted repeating experiments with negative outcomes, because such results are difficult to publish. Additionally, as a scientist who runs a small lab on a small budget, I'm very happy that I can now publish smaller studies that don't have an R01 level of narrative and supporting experiments built around them.

James Bogenpohl, Christopher Newport University

microPublication is an excellent place to publish new findings that don't, by themselves, tell a longer story.

Adler Dillman, UC Riverside

I only wish something like microPublication had been available to me as an undergraduate and graduate student. These publications have enhanced our research productivity at PUI's and have provided invaluable experience for UG students.

Kayla Bieser, Nevada State University

I love microPublication Biology! I have become an evangelist, talking it up at conferences and department seminars. I have an "ask me about microPublication Biology" sticker on a slide, and have had several people come talk to me about it afterwards.

Anne Villeneuve, Stanford University

I was pleasantly surprised by fast and smooth publishing experience at microPublication Biology.

Vahid Shahrezaei, Imperial College London

Your journal really makes it possible for undergraduates to publish a first author paper and boost their confidence and credentials for graduate/medical school. Thank you!

Eric Luth, Simmons University

I am a big fan of uPubs. There is a lot of power in them for publishing interesting observations that would otherwise never make it out into the world; and they have unparalleled teaching potential for both young authors and novice reviewers.

David Angeles Albores, NewCo, San Francisco

Working on emerging biological models, I believe that microPublication Biology can be a powerful tool to enhance scientific progress in models with small communities

Alexandre Paix, European Molecular Biology Laboratory

A really great way to make sure that nice results that are valuable to others can be published.

Michael Gold, University of British Columbia

microPublication Biology allows academics at all levels to be more involved in their own research

Jonas Mars, Hubrecht Institute

microPublication Biology is an excellent journal in general and an exceptionally helpful journal for faculty members at predominantly undergraduate institutions because it allows us to publish data with students that might otherwise take years to assemble into a larger publication for a different journal.

Jim Lissemore, John Carroll University

microPublication Biology offers a great resource to publish data that otherwise would not be published. This is especially important for students starting their scientific career that work in small projects or that generate data that ends up not being part of a larger story.

Anton Barreiro, University of Santiago de Compostela

Micropublications are the best! All research deserves a chance to be published and this provides the ideal avenue for smaller pieces that otherwise wouldn't be published!

Naomi Rapier Sharman, Brigham Young University

Publishing in MicroPublication was a positive experience from start to finish, in particular this was a very supportive environment for my PhD student to write and submit her first first author paper.

Helen Fitzsimons, Massey University

Publishing with microPublication was a seamless experience, and their rigorous peer-review process ensured the high quality and impact of our research.

Martin Vo, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine

microPublication is great for both small undergraduate research projects and for results that can't be neatly tucked into a larger project's publication or that need to be published quickly. Reviewing is a pleasure and also contributes to tenure and promotion portfolios!

Tina Gumienny, Texas Woman's University

The reviewers and editors where more responsive to questions and comments than any other journal I have published with. Really a breath of fresh air when it comes to the stress of publishing

Angelo Kolokithas, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College

microPublication Biology was a great fit for getting our story out into the world and helped multiple students get experience with writing and publishing.

Michelle Mondoux, College of the Holy Cross

I have published two papers in microPublication Biology. On both occasions, I found the editors and developers to be knowledgeable, helpful and prompt in replying to queries. The concise format based around a single figure (multiple panels are allowed) is ideal for short papers. I strongly recommend this journal to others.

Neil Ashton, University of Regina

microPublication Biology is an ideal forum for students to publish their short scientific stories and get excited about science early in their careers.

Pete Okkema, University of Illinois at Chicago

Micropublications offers a straigthforward way to share quality data that otherwise might not see the light of day for many years.

Kara Cerveny, Reed College

Quickest, most painless publishing experience that I have had in a long time.

Ken Irvine, Rutgers University

We had a simple yet important story and microPublication Biology provided a platform to publish a single figure article that does not exist elsewhere.

Andrew Stephens, University of Massachusetts Amherst

Publications with students in my years prior to be evaluated for tenure and promotion were instrumental in achieving tenure and promotion at my institution. Students also highly value the experience of writing and authoring a scientific manuscript. I support the mission and outcome of microPublication Biology and will continue to submit manuscripts to the journal, just as I am happy to review papers for the journal. In my experience, the editorial team is responsive and fosters the publication of quality data even if the data isn't "sexy" or mechanistically deep. This allows for scientific progress and avoids scientists spinning their wheels on refining mechanism for years and years, as is sometimes necessary for other journals.

Julie Merkle, University of Evansville

A really great initiative in scientific publication.

Simon Tuck, Umeå University

Micropubs are an invaluable resource for tiny chunks of novel data, and perhaps even more importantly for replicates and negative data. This is essential for my and my undergraduate students' professional development.

Susan Walsh, Soka University

I love this idea so much! Maybe we will have fewer results languishing in the back of old lab notebooks because "oh we can't get a paper out of that."

Melissa Kelley, Western Oregon University
