JOURNAL OVERVIEW
Quantitative Plant Biology is an open access journal, co-published by Cambridge University Press and The John Innes Centre.
The journal aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for high quality research on ground-breaking discoveries and predictions in quantitative plant science. The journal welcomes submissions at all biological scales (from molecular through cellular and organismal to populations) and from a wide range of sources (from lab to field). The journal also welcomes the submission of quantitative studies involving citizen science. The core of the publication strategy will be to enhance our quantitative understanding of how plants function from a physiological and evolutionary perspective.
WHAT WE PUBLISH
- Multiscale dynamics (molecule to population)
- Variability, noise and stochasticity
- Nonlinearities and feedback loops
- Biochemical and mechanical signalling synergies
- Growth, patterning and developmental robustness
- Systems approaches for sustainability
- New theories and hypotheses
There are many advantages for authors and their research when publishing open access; more citations, more downloads, and increased reach. We recognise that not all authors have the same opportunities to realise these advantages due to a lack of funding for their work.
Cambridge University Press and Quantitative Plant Biology are committed to ensuring there are no financial barriers for authors to contribute.
The cost of open access publishing should not be a barrier to publish your valuable research. From Transformative Agreements to our Open Access Waiver Policies, there are various routes available to publish your research with Quantitative Plant Biology free of charge.
