Molecular Plant is a recently founded international
journal that publishes significant findings in plant biology,
focusing broadly on cellular biology, physiology, molecular
biology, genetics, development, and evolution.
The journal features a strong international editorial board
and is set to become a top-tier journal in the field, using
rigorous review to limit the journal to papers that provide
novel insights of high impact. The editors particularly encourage
submissions of original research that is highly novel but
not necessarily fully-developed. Contributions may comprise
Research Articles, Review Articles, Methods, Editorials, and
Commentaries.
To set the standard for its future, most of the papers published
in Molecular Plant's first two years were commissioned by
editorial members and published in Special Issues on particularly
exciting and important topics in current plant biology. Now
that the journal's standard has been established, Molecular
Plant now receives large numbers of high-quality unsolicited
submissions, which have been published under the heading 'Topics
of General Interest' since May 2009.
The journal is steadily increasing the proportion of regular
submissions published. Plant biology authors are strongly
encouraged to submit their best work to the journal. Every
effort is made to ensure papers are fully reviewed within
four weeks and that all accepted papers are published online
in their final format within four weeks of arrival of the
finished manuscript at the publisher.
Assessment by the China Association for Science and Technology
of ‘top journals in China’ (in 2010) rated Molecular Plant
one of seven A-class journals.
