STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new open access journal - Current Plant Biology. Dr. Steven P. Briggs from the University of California San Diego, will serve as the Editor-in-Chief.
The field of fundamental plant science is increasingly becoming an interdisciplinary domain of research, now including physics, mathematics and chemistry disciplines. This trend is largely fuelled by the last decade's technical advances and discoveries which have created new challenges, such as data storage, analysis and prediction. Current Plant Biology will publish articles that focus on this newly emerged interdisciplinary research domain.
The first issue of Current Plant Biology is a Special Issue with selected papers from the Second Current Opinion Conference on Plant Genome Evolution held in September 2013 in the Netherlands. Articles will appear online directly after acceptance and proofing.
