Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics (PPEES) publishes outstanding and thought-provoking articles of general interest to an international readership in the fields of plant ecology, evolution and systematics. Of particular interest are in-depth articles that provide a broad understanding of key topics in the field. There are four issues per year. The following types of article will be considered:

Original research articles (including longer contributions),

Methodological papers,

Reviews,

Meta-analyses,

Opinion papers.

PPEES accepts longer papers than other journals. However we recommend that authors contact the journal before submitting articles with more than 10,000 words.To maintain high scientific standards, manuscripts are submitted to two or more reviewers for evaluation of their scientific soundness and significance. Authors will be generally notified of acceptance, rejection, or need for revision of their manuscripts within three months. Biological flora series (monographs of model species) PPEES is particularly interested in contributions to the knowledge of species that are flagship species for conservation, invasive species of particular concern, or species that are frequently used as models in ecological research. Prospective authors should contact the editorial office of PPEES before starting to write a contribution and enquire whether their planned manuscript would be of interest to PPEES. Opinion Papers Opinion pieces should present a novel perspective on a topic relevant to the ecology, evolution or systematics of plants. The goal should be to engender debate or push the field in new directions. Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics is included in the Research4Life program. Research4Life is a partnership of United Nations agencies, universities, and publishers that makes journal articles available for free or at very low cost to institutions in developing countries.
