It has been over a year since the Society of Protozoologists renamed their
journal to the "Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology" with the expressed hope
that this would encourage submissions from researchers who might otherwise
not be inclined to publish in this journal.
Does anyone have first or second hand knowledge of whether this has occurred?
Have any of you decided to submit a manuscript to J. Euk. Microbiol. that
you would not have submitted to J. Protozool.? Has the opposite occurred?
It is important that the Society try to monitor and evaluate how this
"experiment" is going so any comments would be welcome. Please post
replies to the bionet.protista as this is a subject that may generate
some discussion.
