波蘭微生物學雜志的使命是發表高質量的研究。去年，我們出版了來自50多個國家的研究人員撰寫的手稿，涵蓋微生物學的各個方面。為了提高期刊質量，歷任主編和現任主編都付出了艱苦的努力，從去年的引文索引增長到1以上就可以看出這一點。由于波蘭微生物學會成員的資助和波蘭科技部的資助，我們的雜志已經出版多年。為增加電子及印刷刊物的發行量，我們維持開放閱覽，不收取任何出版費用。不幸的是，由于期刊制作、印刷發行、在線托管和存檔成本的增加，我們不得不引入出版費用。2015年7月1日以后提交的文章需付費。這意味著目前提交、處理、接受或準備發表的文章被排除在外。所有類型文章的出版費用為250美元，波蘭微生物學家協會成員的費用降低到125美元，或相當于波蘭茲羅提(PLN)的作者來自波蘭。

The mission of Polish Journal of Microbiology is publishing high quality research. Last year we published manuscripts authored by researchers from over 50 countries, covering various aspects of microbiology. All former and current editors and editors in chief worked very hard for many years to increase journal quality, what can be demonstrated by citation index increasing to more than 1 last year. Our journal has been printed for many years thanks to financial support of the members of Polish Society of Microbiologist and grants from Polish Ministry of Science.To increase the journal circulation in both electronic and printed forms, we maintained open access without any publication fees. Unfortunately, due to increasing costs of journal production, print distribution, online hosting and archiving we are forced to introduce publicationfees. Articles submitted after 1st of July 2015 are subjected to fees. It means that articles currently submitted, processed, accepted or in preparation for publication are excluded. Publication fee for all types of articles is 250 USD, fee for members of Polish Society of Microbiologists is reduced to 125 USD, or equivalent in polish zloty (PLN) for authors from Poland.
