The Independent Scholarly Publishers Group (ISPG), managed by Dragonfly Sales and Marketing Consulting, has added the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) to its ranks, along with its two journals - The Plant Cell and Plant Physiology. The ISPG will be representing ASPB to Australia/New Zealand, Turkey, and the Middle East.
As a professional society, ASPB works to advance the plant sciences by exploring the physiology and biophysics of plants as well as plants' molecular, environmental, and cell biology. With this new agreement, the two ASPB journals and an educational resource will be included with the ISPG's coalition of 53 journals and other resources from 22 publishers, all hosted on the HighWire platform and offered to library consortia, hospitals, and other organisations globally.
The Plant Cell publishes novel and significant research in plant biology, especially in the areas of cellular and molecular biology, genetics, development, and evolution. Established in 1989, this monthly journal ranks first in impact among journals publishing primary research in the plant sciences.
Plant Physiology is an international monthly journal devoted to physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, biophysics, and environmental biology of plants. Established in 1926, the journal claims to be one of the world's oldest and most well-respected plant science journals.
