Aims and Scope
Annals of Botany is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing experimental, theoretical and applied papers on all aspects of plant biology. The current (2020) Chief Editor, appointed in 2008, is John Seymour (Pat) Heslop-Harrison (University of Leicester, UK and the South China Botanical Garden). The journal is owned and managed by the Annals of Botany Company, a non-profit educational charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. It is published monthly through Oxford University Press in paper form and online, and is paid for primarily by institutional annual subscriptions. Regular extra issues, published free-of-charge, focus on topical themes. The journal does not levy page charges but authors may choose to pay a standard fee to secure open access status for their papers. According to Journal Citation Reports, in 2019 (published 2020) Annals of Botany’s impact factor was 4.005 and was ranked 27ᵗʰ out of 234 journals in the Plant Sciences category. The Journal’s Eigenfactor was 0.01652, its H-Index 165 and the SCImago score 1.615. Annals of Botany has two sister journals, AoB PLANTS, an online only open access botanical journal and in silico PLANTS, an online open access journal devoted to plant modelling. It is also closely associated with the informal online plant science publication Botany One.
