John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,has renewed its relationship with the Scandinavian
Plant Physiology Society (SPPS); a partnership which began over
sixty years ago. Wiley will continue to support the society’s leading
research journal Physiologia
Plantarum, an international thought leader in the field of plant
physiology.
The partnership began in 1948 when the society, known then as the
Nordisk Förening för Fysiologisk Botanik, began collaborating with
Munksgaard, later a part of Wiley. That partnership has resulted in Physiologia
Plantarum becoming an established thought leader in the field,
gaining an Impact Factor of 3.112 in 2011.
The SPPS is currently based in Helsinki, yet while it is led by elected
representatives from Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway, the society
has a truly global focus with members from the USA, Japan and many other
non-Scandinavian countries.
Physiologia Plantarum is an international journal committed to
publishing the best original research which explores primary physiology,
and the molecular, genetic and ecological mechanisms which govern plant
development, growth and productivity. The Editor-in-Chief is Australian
Professor Vaughan Hurry.
The journal also publishes Minireviews and Technical Focus papers, with
the aim of providing a forum for the exchange of information on recent
breakthroughs and technical advances.
“Over the past sixty years the SPPS and Wiley have worked together to
promote the best research across the fields of experimental plant
biology,” said David Nicholson, Vice President & Journals Publishing
Director, Wiley. “We are very proud to renew and extend this
relationship as we continue to promote plant science research to an ever
growing global audience.”
Physiologia Plantarum is an official journal of the Federation of
European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB), Europe’s largest and most
widely representative society of plant scientists.
