[Taxacom] PHYTOTAXA, a new international journal for plant taxonomy

[Maarten Christenhusz]

Dear colleagues,

 

I am glad to announce that the first issue of Phytotaxa has been
successfully launched. Phytotaxa is a new rapid international journal
for accelerating the publication of botanical taxonomy. Articles are
peer reviewed and publication is free for all authors. Open Access is
available. 

We like to create a platform for plant taxonomists to publish their new
species, nomenclature, typification, monographs, revisions, floras and
other taxonomy related articles, and hope for the support of the
community to make this a success. We aim to publish accepted papers
within a month after acceptance, making new names rapidly available for
use.

 

You can read articles and find instructions for authors at:

We are presently looking for new manuscripts, and we are looking forward
to your contributions!

 

Best wishes,

 

Dr Maarten Christenhusz
