Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

What Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases does

The Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (JMID) is an international, peer-reviewed open access academic journal published quarterly by Eldaghayes Publisher, headquartered in Tripoli, Libya, with a global online presence at jmidonline.org (E-ISSN 2146-9369). The journal disseminates original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case reports, letters to the editor, research notes, and guidance documents across four subject areas: human microbiology and infectious diseases, animal/veterinary microbiology, environmental microbiology, and microbial pathogenesis. Authors and readers are researchers, scholars, and medical professionals worldwide; the most recent issue (2026, Volume 16, Issue 2) shows authorship spanning Libya, the UK, Nigeria, India, and Brazil, evidencing a globally distributed contributor base.

JMID's underlying technology stack is built on standard open access publishing infrastructure. Manuscript handling is delegated to the third-party EJManager submission and peer review management platform. Each published article is assigned a persistent identifier via Crossref DOI integration, and contributor identities are linked through ORCID. Manuscript authenticity is verified using iThenticate plagiarism detection, applied twice during the editorial workflow. Digital preservation is supported by Portico, with LOCKSS/CLOCKSS archiving under exploration and SHERPA/RoMEO policy disclosure being pursued. Content is hosted on redundant servers with automated backups across geographically diverse locations.

The journal operates a direct-to-consumer open access publishing model. Revenue is generated primarily through article processing charges (APCs) paid by authors at submission, supplemented by institutional or organizational support from the publishing entity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. All published articles are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0), enabling free global access and redistribution with attribution for non-commercial use. No subscription paywalls, advertising, or third-party resellers are part of the distribution model.
