The 7th International Course in Microbial Ecology (ICME7) was entitled “Publishing dos and don’ts for Microbial Ecologists” and took place from 24 to 27 October 2016 at the MicrobEco workshop in Catania, Italy.
As in the tradition of ICME, the course had a strong practical approach. There were practical and theoretical sessions about the major key aspects of writing, editing, and publishing processes.
