Acta Agrobotanica has been included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, being part of the Web of Science Core Collection produced by Clarivate Analytics.
Indexing in the database further increases discoverability of the papers published in the journal and potentially their citations.
In this post, important issues related to modernization of the Polish Botanical Society publishing practices are being emphasized, which aims to further improve the standard of the editorial process, having regard also to Plan S. This process will take place in several stages, and subsequent updates will be presented in this post (beginning from the latest updates).
2019-12-27 update
Updated instructions for authors have been just published on the PBS editorial platform. They are valid until the change of the editorial management system, but the key requirements such as in-text citations and reference list format will remain afterwards. We ask authors to prepare the manuscripts according to the new guidelines.
2019-12-02 update
- Starting from 2020, the scientific publications of the Society will be available in XML JATS, for better discoverability of the scientific output.
- Starting from 2020, authors guidelines will be updated to introduce APA (seventh edition) as a style to format in-text citations and references.
- Starting from 2020, new publications will be placed in the Polish Botanical Society Repository. All publications currently available outside of the Repository will be gradually transferred there.
- The new editorial managing system is planned to be developed till the end of 2020.
- Starting from 2020, Monographiae Botanicae book series will be a default place for scientific monographs, where manuscripts in Polish will be also accepted. The series will be published electronic format only, with print-on-demand option available (at the author’s additional expense). Submitting of the monographs outside of the series will be also available, which will be covered in upcoming publication policy update.
- Starting from 2020, Wiadomości Botaniczne will be also accepting manuscripts in English.
- Publication policy update will be compiled till the end of 2020.
- Starting from 2020, article processing charges will change:
- For publication in Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae:
- for domestic authors: 2,000 PLN (1,400 PLN for PBS members)
- for foreign authors: 520 EUR (480 EUR for PBS members).
- For publication in Acta Agrobotanica and Acta Mycologica:
- for domestic authors: 700 PLN (500 PLN for PBS members)
- for foreign authors: 200 EUR (180 EUR for PBS members).
- Publication in Wiadomości Botaniczne will be free of charge.
- For publication in Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae:
Modern plant taxonomy is an extensive field that is increasingly benefiting from the achievements of many other fields of biological sciences, such as genetics, cytology, molecular biology, ecology, phytogeography, and paleobotany. The influence of these branches of science on plant taxonomy is expressed not only through a significant multiplication of information and detailed data, but also by new phylogenetic concepts. Reconstructing phylogenetic compounds that unite all lines is a great challenge. The process of describing a new species is considered equivalent to generating a new hypothesis in phylogenesis. Hence taxonomy and phylogenetics are inseparably connected with each other. Advances in taxonomy and phylogenetic taxonomy have inspired us to designate a special issue of Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae for them. Therefore, we cordially invite contributions (original articles, review articles, and short communications) focused on alpha taxonomy, evolutionary and numerical taxonomy, and phylogenetics including the following areas:
- vascular plants,
- bryophytes,
- plant component in lichen.
The issue timetable:
- submission deadline: March 31, 2020;
- reviews till: May 31, 2020;
- postreview revisions till: July 31, 2020;
- editing ends: September 15, 2020;
- publication: September 30, 2020.

We are pleased to announce launching of digital repository of the Polish Botanical Society.
The service is available at https://pbsociety.org.pl/repository/
Repository is a database of documents related to the history of the Society and its ongoing initiatives. It will gather official publications and so-far unpublished materials, which constitute documentation of the Society’s scientific, popularizing, and organizational activities.
Submission deadline to the “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants” issue to be published in the Acta Agrobotanica journal in June 2019 has been prolonged to December 31, 2018.
On behalf of the organizers, we invite you to take part in the conference entitled “Forest at risk: Białowieża and beyond”. The Conference will be held on February 12–15, 2019 at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Warsaw, followed by a field session in the Białowieża Forest (February 14–15, 2019). Detailed information can be found:
- in the 1st announcement,
- on the Conference website.
“Polar terrestrial ecosystems: ecology, evolution, and biogeography” – submission deadline prolonged
Submission deadline to the “Polar terrestrial ecosystems: ecology, evolution, and biogeography” issue to be published in the Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae journal at the end of this year has been prolonged to August 15, 2018.
German Academic Exchange Service (Deuscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) is inviting applicants for its Master’s Scholarships.

Submission deadline prolnged: see this post.
Insufficient crop production and poor nutritional value of crops have become a vital global concern, affecting billions of people especially but not exclusively in developing world. To combat the problem of deficiencies of various essential nutrients in human diet and to enhance sustainable crop production, biofortification and biostimulation of crop plants emerge as complementary health-beneficial and cost-effective approaches. Use of biostimulants and trace elements enhances the growth and yield of plants as well protects them from various environmental stresses.
In order to address the challenges and opportunities of crop yield and quality improvement, we are pleased to inform that Acta Agrobotanica is going to launch an issue entitled “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants”, which will be published in June 2019. Our mission is to present for broader audience advances in physiological, biochemical, and molecular approaches as well as innovative crop management practices used to enhance healthy food production.
We sincerely invite you to submit or recommend a paper to our special issue. We cordially invite contributions (original articles, review articles, and short communications) focused on biostimulation and biofortification of crops including, but not limited to, the following areas:
- biostimulation and biofortification in ensuring food security
- organic or synthetic based products which enhance the crop productivity
- biostimulators in protection of plants against environmental stresses
- elicitation as a tool to improve secondary metabolites production in plants
- biofortification as a tool to increase the content of vitamins and essential minerals in crops
- plant breeding, transgenic techniques, or agronomic practices as a tools for biofortification programs
- biofortification under field conditions and its efficiency.
The manuscript due date is October 30, 2018. Original research papers, reviews as well as short communications are eagerly invited.
On the Acta Agrobotanica home page you will find a section for manuscripts to be submitted for the issue “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants”.
