The New Phytologist Trust, in partnership with publisher John Wiley & Sons has announced the launch of a new cross disciplinary Open Access journal - Plants, People, Planet, led by Professor Simon Hiscock (University of Oxford, UK and Director of the Oxford Botanic Garden and Harcourt Arboretum). The new journal will focus on the interface between plant science and society, offering a lively and accessible forum for plant science research and discussion in its broadest sense.
Plants, People, Planet will publish research across the plant sciences, placing it firmly within the context of its wider relevance to people, society and the planet. Submissions are welcome from all areas of plant sciences, from ecosystem studies to molecular genetics, and particularly encourage interdisciplinary studies –within the social and medical sciences and chemistry and engineering, for instance.
In the rapidly moving field of plant science, the journal offers a platform for new and emerging plant science subject areas that have the potential for societal impact. To highlight the impact or potential impact of the research to society, all submissions should be accompanied by a 'societal impact statement'.
