These regulations are an attempt to not only provide a platform
for case reports but also to enhance their value for the community. In
the future we will be able to publish collections of specific case
reports to illustrate emerging trends and themes for research and
educational purposes. Those organisation who would be interested
in sponsoring such a collection of reports are very welcome to
suggest this to the editor in chief. All these features of MMCR provide
a clear rationale to make our new journal a ‘‘home’’ for fungal case
reports, and for this reason our sister journal Medical Mycology has
stopped publishing case reports since the launch of MMCR. However,
we are actively aiming at further improvements and this can most
efficiently be achieved in a lively exchange with authors and readers.
Therefore we invite you not only to publish your case reports in
MMCR or to browse our contents but also to get back to us with your
thoughts and opinions whenever you wish. In the end, it is going to
be the challenge of each member of the world-wide community of
clinicians, microbiologists and scientists interested in medical and
veterinary mycology to make MMCR successful.
