Commentary 70th Anniversary Collection of the Microbiology Society: Journal of General Virology
نویسنده
چکیده
To mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Society for General Microbiology (now renamed the Microbiology Society) it was decided to showcase 70 salient publications from the archives of its various journals. The Journal of General Virology was allocated 15 papers. I was invited to curate them and given a carte blanche which ones to choose. True to the name of the journal, I picked a broad range of viruses and a paper on prion disease. If readers are disappointed not to see their own most cherished contribution featured among them, please consider the odds: only 15 from over 15 000 Journal of General Virology articles could be selected and I gave more weight to older papers to recall contributions by the pioneers of virology.

متن کامل70th Anniversary Collection for the Microbiology Society: Microbiology.
I was honoured when asked to curate this collection, but accepted with some trepidation. As the tagline states, Microbiology (Journal of General Microbiology prior to 1994) has been ‘publishing high-quality research since 1947’: capturing the breadth and depth of the journal’s contribution to microbiology in this short opinion piece is nigh impossible. I chose to steer a personal course through...
