Metabarcoding and Metagenomics journal

Not too long ago I posted a call for participation at a questionnaire which solicited feedback and suggestions for a new open access journal focusing on metabarcoding and metagenomics. Today, just a few months later the journal out in the open and ready for submission:

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics (MBMG) is an innovative open access journal which facilitates the publication of articles on metabarcoding and metagenomics both in basic and applied context. The journal welcomes submissions representing all stages of the research cycle: data, models, methods, workflows, software, perspectives, opinions, and conventional research articles. The journal will consider manuscripts for publication related (but not limited) to the following topics: Environmental MBMG, Microbial MBMG, Applied MBMG (biomonitoring, quarantine, environmental assessment, nature conservation, eDNA, species invasions and others), and other emerging fields related to MBMG. Submissions of bioinformatic approaches to MBMG (algorithms, software) are also encouraged.

So, if you are currently working on a metabarcoding or metagenomics study and looking for a home for your publication you might want to consider this new option.
