Aims and Scope

Journal of Plant Ecology (JPE) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed international journal of plant ecology, which serves as an important medium for Chinese and international ecologists to present research findings and discuss challenging issues in the broad field of plants and their interactions with their biotic and abiotic environment.

Original research articles, reviews (published under full open access), perspectives, data papers and short communications published in JPE will cover all aspects of plant ecology, including plant ecophysiology, population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology and landscape ecology as well as conservation ecology, evolutionary ecology and theoretical ecology. JPE includes special issues/features focusing on frontiers in plant ecology (including global change, invasive species, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, etc.), which may include reviews written by the leading ecologists in the field.

JPE is sponsored by the Botanical Society of China and the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and published by Oxford University Press.

Manuscript Submission

Thank you for your interest in Journal of Plant Ecology. Please read the complete Instructions to Authorscarefully prior to submission, including the section on copyright. To ensure fast peer review and publication, manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.

JPE recognizes that excellent manuscripts may have been erroneously rejected by other journals. Authors are encouraged to submit such manuscripts, together with the reviews from previous peer review and an explanation in the cover letter of how the review comments have been incorporated in the submitted version of the manuscript. Such manuscripts will be assessed based on the previous reviews and a decision may be taken by the editor-in-chief without further review.

Manuscript Types

JPE welcomes five main types of manuscripts that are subjected to online peer review:

• Research Articles present original research findings and discuss challenging issues in the broad field of plants and their interactions with biotic and abiotic environment. The length of Research Articles is ideally within 10 typeset pages. The first ten pages are free of charge, and OUP will charge £150 per extra page after the tenth typeset page. See Manuscript Preparation below.

• Reviews should present timely syntheses of topical themes in a selected area of plant ecology and provide innovative ideas to inspire future research. The abstract do not need structure, and should be no more than 300 words. The main text should be written with the subject headings selected according to the content. Other parts should be referred to Manuscript Preparation below.

• Perspectives are short articles, providing synthetic overview, critical commentary, or historical perspective, primarily by eminent ecologists. Perspective papers are often invited papers, but proposals for submitting a Perspective may also be considered, and should be sent to the Editors-in-Chief.

• Data Papers present large or expansive data sets, accompanied by metadata which describe the content, context, quality and structure of the data. Data sets should be accessible and legible to every user and on every platform. Excel (.xls) is the most commonly submitted proprietary format. The content of metadata should be prepared referring to Table 1 in Michener et al. (1997; Ecological Applications 7:330–342). The peer-review process of data papers will focus on an evaluation of the ecological significance of the data and ensure a high standard of the data usability. Only the abstract appears in Journal of Plant Ecology; the data and metadata are available as online Supplementary Material. OUP can host up to 15MB of data on its journal platform. Alternatively, authors can provide a Dryad link which will be typeset into the paper, if the files exceed the limit.

Data paper should contain the following parts: Title page, Abstract (structure is not required; no more than 300 words), Introduction, Metadata content (tables and figures should be embedded in the metadata where appropriate.), Acknowledgments (be brief), References, Supplementary Material.

• Short Communications are shorter, peer-reviewed research articles, presenting new ideas, controversial opinions, “negative” results, or a new theory or concept based on existing research. Short Communication paper should contain an abstract (structure is not required; no more than 200 words), main text (may not be subdivided) and references, and no more than 6 figures or tables, combined, and is ideally published within 4 typeset pages. When submit Short Communication papers, a cover letter should clearly indicate that the paper is being submitted for consideration for the Short Communications section and explain why it should be published as a Short Communication paper.

Some other types of manuscripts, e.g. Meeting Reports or Editorials, are usually commissioned, but suggestions may also be submitted for the editors' consideration. These papers, classified as “Editorial Materials”, do not contain primary research data and thus do not undergo peer review.
