the-isme-journal

separate

Use when targeting The ISME Journal (ISME J) or deciding whether a microbial-ecology manuscript fits this flagship community-and-function venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• targeting The ISME Journal
• deciding if a microbial-ecology manuscript fits
• choosing between ISME J, Nature Microbiology, Microbiome, and mSystems
• assessing mechanism-and-evidence bar
• checking multi-omics expectations
• evaluating desk-reject criteria
• re-framing manuscripts for ISME J

When not to use

• replacing the journal's current official submission guidelines
• pure surveys
• descriptive amplicon snapshots
• applied or engineered-system studies without ecological insight
