The International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is a
An official publication of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) and International Union of Microbiological Societies (Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division),[1] the journal is the single official international forum for the publication of new species names for prokaryotes.[2][3][4] In addition to research papers, the journal also publishes the minutes of meetings of the ICSP and its various subcommittees.[3]
Background and history
From the first identification of a bacterial species in 1872, microbial species were named according to the
In 1950, at the 5th International Congress for Microbiology, a journal was established to disseminate the committee's conclusions to the microbiological community. It first appeared the following year under the title of International Bulletin of Bacteriological Nomenclature and Taxonomy.[2] In 1980, the ICSP published an exhaustive list of all existing bacterial species considered valid in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.[2] Thereafter, the committee's Code required all new names to be either published or indexed in its journal to be deemed valid.[5]
The journal was at first published quarterly by
Publication moved to the United Kingdom in 1998, the journal being taken over by the
Role in nomenclature validation
The journal publishes research papers establishing novel prokaryotic names, which are summarized in a notification list. Each monthly issue also contains a compilation of validated new names (the validation list) that have been previously published in other scientific journals or books.
As of 2007, the journal has officially validated around 6500 species and 1500 genera.[2] It was estimated in 2004 that over 300 new names had been published but not validated.[5]
Modern journal
As of 2017, the editor-in-chief is Martha E. Trujillo (University of Salamanca).[1]
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 2.8.[10]
