The pros and cons of being broad: recent and future progress of Nordic Journal of Botany
28 October 2016
Tyler, TorbjornFrom the very beginning, Nordic Journal of Botany has aimed at being a broad and truly international journal. Our scientific scope is broad, essentially covering all aspects of plant and fungal biodiversity research, including ecology, biogeography, conservation, evolution and taxonomy/systematics, and all related disciplines that provide results that will improve our understanding of ecology, conservation, biogeography, evolution and taxonomy (e.g. ecophysiology, anatomy and cytology). However, there always need to be some limits, and therefore we do not accept manuscripts that are focused on economic botany, cultivated plants, forestry or plant breeding, and studies focused on physiology, anatomy or cytology need to be presented in an ecological, evolutionary or systematic context to be considered for publication.
