INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT SCIENCES

The International Journal of Plant Sciences (ISSN 1058-5893) is a distinguished bimonthly academic journal published by the University of Chicago Press in the United States, serving as a premier venue for high-quality original research in the field of plant science. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal publishes rigorous studies spanning a broad spectrum of disciplines, including plant biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, and genetics, with a particular emphasis on both foundational and applied scientific inquiries. As a non-open access publication, it maintains a strong reputation for scholarly excellence and has long been recognized for its significant influence within the plant science community, although authors are advised to consult the latest Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal rankings for current impact factor metrics and specific tier classifications. The journal attracts a global audience of researchers and scholars dedicated to advancing the understanding of plant systems, and while it continues to uphold high editorial standards, prospective authors should carefully align their manuscript’s scope with the journal’s evolving editorial focus and competitive landscape to ensure the best fit for their work.
