We were able to host an SMBE-funded satellite conference on pathogen pangenomes last year thanks to these fees going back into the community.

Thanks to all MBE and GBE authors for supporting SMBE rather than for-profit companies!
Tl;dr: The editors of a @official-smbe.bsky.social journal ask “The question for you, as an author, is where to spend research funds. Is it better to publish in journals that profit your academic community or profit from that community?”

Two journals, two editorial boards, the same service to science.

The SMBE and our research community as a whole are indebted to our colleagues who dedicate their effort and expertise to handling manuscripts in the service of MBE and GBE.
