Professor Hakan Leblebicioglu
Hakan Leblebicioglu is a Professor of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, and Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology at Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey.
Hakan Leblebicioglu has published in the fields of antibiotic use, epidemiology, nosocomial infections, viral hepatitis, and leptospirosis; these research interests were his inspiration to take on the role of Editor-in-Chief for the Open Access, peer reviewed, online journal Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
Open access journals facilitate the widespread dissemination of manuscripts all around the world. Also being an editor, I am particularly impressed with BioMed Central's publication process; they publish manuscripts rapidly post-acceptance, and have a reliable archiving system. Also BioMed Central assist peer review by providing editors with a list of publications in PubMed that are similar to the manuscript in hand, which leads to more efficient peer review.
