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.

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. Your manuscript, along with any related reviews, will be transferred for consideration by the editorial team. Editors of the Nordic Journal of Botany may also recommend referral of your manuscript to the Wiley journal Plant-Environment Interactions. The NSO journals also participate in the Journal Transfer Networks provided by the publisher Wiley. Journal editors may recommend your manuscript to a more suitable Wiley journal via an expedited referral process. Transfers are offered to facilitate rapid publication of good quality research that is unable to be accepted by the original journal. Manuscripts of authors who opt for a referral will be automatically transferred, along with any related reviews, for consideration by the editorial team of the receiving journal.
