JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY

The Journal of Experimental Botany (ISSN 0022-0957) is a distinguished monthly publication in the field of plant science, published by Oxford University Press in the United Kingdom. As a highly regarded journal indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it consistently maintains a high impact factor and typically ranks among the top tier in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal classification for plant sciences. The journal focuses on rigorous experimental research and high-quality original articles spanning fundamental and applied aspects of plant biology, including plant physiology, molecular biology, genetics, ecology, and crop science. While it operates under a hybrid model that offers partial open access options, it is not fully open access. Known for its strict peer-review process and high standards for innovation and experimental design, the journal commands a strong academic reputation, though this also results in a competitive submission environment with a relatively high rejection rate.
