Aims & Scope, Fees

Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. publishes original scientific papers on the whole spectrum of Plant Biology (structure, anatomy, development, physiology, cytology, genetics, evolution, ecology, paleobotany, palynology, ethnobotany, etc.) in the various plant organisms and related groups (mycology, phycology, lichenology, bryology, etc.), both in basic and applied aspects.
Taxonomic (systematics, phylogeny, monographs, revisions, lectotypifications, nomenclatural acts, taxon descriptions), phytogeographical and phytosociological (survey and classification of vegetation at different spatial scales and without restriction of methodological approaches) works are considered for publication. Contributions that address complete phytogeographic units or sub-units and those that fill gaps in knowledge of the vegetation of poorly known territories are especially welcome. Extensions of geographic areas are published only in the case of new citations for a country. Checklists and annotated plant lists are not published.
Articles submitted for publication should be original and should not have been submitted to another publisher or previously published (in print or electronic format). Submissions of papers already published in another language (self-plagiarism by translation) will not be accepted.
Accepted contributions will be in the form of articles or reviews, in Spanish, Portuguese or English. Research papers and original studies will comprise 85% of the content of the journal. The remaining % may include review articles, technical articles or obituaries. The Bol. Soc. Argent.Bot. does not publish divulgation papers, for which the SAB provides the publication "FOLIUM".
Frequency of publication: One volume is published with four issues per year (March, June, September, December). Accepted papers that complete the editorial process will be published in Online first.
