As of January 2024, FEMS Yeast Research is a fully open access journal. This means that all previously published content is free to read from this date. 

It also means that all submissions that get accepted for publication will be published open access and will therefore be subject to an Article Processing Charge (APC). See the Copyright and license including Open Access section of our Author Guidelines for more information.

At FEMS we are working hard to make publishing in our journals as financially accessible as possible. We want the barrier to entry to publishing in our journals to be around the quality and soundness of the science, rather than a financial barrier. This is why we are keeping one broad-scope journal free-to-publish; our APCs are set lower than many other quality journals in our field; and we have put in place generous discount and waiver policies; visit our Open Access FAQs page for more information.

The leading journal in its field, FEMS Yeast Research bridges the gap between pure and applied research on conventional and non-conventional yeasts and yeast-like organisms.

Scope of the journal
FEMS Yeast Research offers efficient publication of high-quality original Research Articles, Mini-reviews, Letters to the Editor, Perspectives and Commentaries that express current opinions. The journal will select for publication only those manuscripts deemed to be of major relevance to the field and generally will not consider articles that are largely descriptive without insights on underlying mechanism or biology. Submissions on any yeast species are welcome provided they report results within the scope outlined below and are of significance to the yeast field.

Articles must contribute to improving our understanding of the biology or impact of yeasts
Topics that are relevant include physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, signalling, genetics, genomics, systems biology, synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, biodiversity, molecular diagnostics, industrial applications, yeast pathogenesis, fermentation and biotechnology
Articles that use yeast as a model organism for studying human diseases or that study general biological phenomena of broad interest
New methods and protocols of wide relevance to the yeast community
The following types of articles are not generally considered: 

Straightforward descriptions of new yeast species
Survey-type studies that cultivate, describe, and provide only preliminary characterisation of yeasts from a particular habitat (e.g. food, environmental, or clinical) 
Papers that report phenomenon or phenotypes without addressing underlying mechanisms. This includes studies that report the effects of extracts, drugs, chemicals, reagents, and environmental conditions on yeast but do not determine the basis of these effects
Papers that provide confirmatory evidence or merely extend observations firmly established in one species, field site, or biological context to another
Studies that mainly re-analyse existing mutants (e.g. from collections) for new phenotypes but do not follow-up with deeper analysis
Clinical case studies
Straightforward heterologous expression studies (e.g. expression of a particular enzyme of biotechnological interest but no particular innovation) 
Solid papers that are scientifically sound but do not significantly advance knowledge or application of yeasts

John Morrissey graduated with a BSc Microbiology from University College Cork (UCC), Ireland before pursuing a PhD in yeast molecular biology at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany (1994). Following post-doctoral research at the University of California Berkeley, USA and the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, he returned to UCC in 2000, where he established the UCC Yeast Biotechnology Group. The major focus of the research group is generating knowledge and developing technology to aid the application of yeasts in food and industrial biotechnology. This spans the range from improving fundamental understanding of metabolism, gene regulation and stress tolerance to selecting and engineering strains for specific biotechnological applications. In recent years, the group has been very active in developing genome engineering and synthetic biology tools and strategies for industrial yeast species. He is well-established in the international yeast, biotechnology, and microbiology communities, with current roles as an Ireland Commissioner on the International Commission of Yeasts (ICY), a Board member of the Microbial Physiology Section of the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB), and a member of the governing council of the Microbiology Society. He is especially committed to promoting collaborative research and the career development of early career researchers and has led several international projects in this area. As Editor in Chief, he will continue the journal’s support of yeast researchers and its role as the journal of the yeast community.

Monique Bolotin-Fukuhara has an MSc degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Genetics from the University of Paris. She was a teaching assistant and associated Professor there before joining the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). She was among the pioneer team which discovered mitochondrial genetics and has since kept a strong interest in this research field with the new possibilities to use yeast for mitochondrial diseases in particular to search for correcting genes.
In parallel she was very early involved in the S. cerevisiae European programs, first for sequencing, and later on for yeast functional analysis (EUROFAN) where she was a member of the steering committee. From the very early days of her research career she has been involved in industrial and international activities (collaborative work with Rhone-Poulenc, international collaborations often within the framework of European programs, several stays in the US, participation to several international expert panels, organisation of international meetings etc..).In 2006 she was recruited by CNRS as Director of the Institute for Genetics and Microbiology at Orsay and is now an Emeritus Research Director.
