BOTANY
ABOUT THE JOURNAL
BOTANY HOME | ABOUT THE JOURNAL | FOR AUTHORS | CONTACT US
We publish international research on plant and fungal ecology and evolution.
Nordic Journal of Botany covers all aspects of ecology, evolution, conservation, biogeography, and taxonomy. Our scope includes algae and bryophytes and all groups of fungi. We welcome cross-disciplinary research such as human-plant relations and plant-ecosystem connections.
NJB article types include Research Articles, Short Communications, and Review Papers.
We value ethical standards in science. Check out information on EDI, Open Access, waivers, double-anonymized peer review, accessible data and code, and CRediT.

Editorial Policies
Nordic Journal of Botany is a full Open Access journal published by the Nordic Society Oikos in cooperation with Wiley. Please read the NSO Publishing Policies for detailed information regarding conflict of interest, authorship, roles of editors, copyright and licensing, Open Access conditions, and more. The article publication charges associated with Open Access articles are the only fees for publishing in NSO journals. Papers submitted to NSO journals are evaluated using double-anonymized peer review, with implications for manuscript formatting specified in our Author Guidelines. NSO believes that accessible and transparent data and code are essential for scientific progress. To make science more just, we ask our authors to declare whether the conduct of their study considers equity, diversity and inclusion when they submit their papers.
Manuscript Referrals
Editors of the NSO sister journals Oikos and Ecography have the option to offer the author a transfer to the Nordic Journal of Botany. If your manuscript is recommended for transfer to the Nordic Journal of Botany, you can opt for automatic referral. Editors of the Nordic Journal of Botany may also recommend referral of your manuscript to the Wiley journal Plant-Environment Interactions. If referral within the journal network is not available, manuscripts may be referred to Wiley’s Transfer Desk Assistant, which identifies suitable Wiley journals that are a match for the manuscript. Authors can then opt to transfer their manuscript to one of the recommended titles. If the author agrees to transfer the manuscript it will be automatically transferred, along with any related reviews, for consideration by the editorial team of the receiving journal. Transfers are offered to facilitate rapid publication of good quality research that is unable to be accepted by the original journal, and to reduce overall editor burden and reviewer fatigue.
