Journal Title：Plant Methods

Plant Methods is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal for the plant research community that encompasses all aspects of technological innovation in the plant sciences.

There is no doubt that we have entered an exciting new era in plant biology. The completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence, and the rapid progress being made in other plant genomics projects are providing unparalleled opportunities for progress in all areas of plant science. Nevertheless, enormous challenges lie ahead if we are to understand the function of every gene in the genome, and how the individual parts work together to make the whole organism. Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented collaborative effort, combining high-throughput, system-wide technologies with more focused approaches that integrate traditional disciplines such as cell biology, biochemistry and molecular genetics.

Technological innovation is probably the most important catalyst for progress in any scientific discipline. Plant Methods’ goal is to stimulate the development and adoption of new and improved techniques and research tools and, where appropriate, to promote consistency of methodologies for better integration of data from different laboratories.

Plant Methods 是一本面向植物研究界的開(kāi)放獲取、同行評(píng)審的在線期刊，涵蓋植物科學(xué)技術(shù)創(chuàng)新的各個(gè)方面。

毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，我們已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了植物生物學(xué)一個(gè)令人興奮的新時(shí)代。擬南芥基因組序列的完成以及其他植物基因組學(xué)項(xiàng)目的快速進(jìn)展為植物科學(xué)所有領(lǐng)域的進(jìn)步提供了無(wú)與倫比的機(jī)會(huì)。然而，如果我們要了解基因組中每個(gè)基因的功能，以及各個(gè)部分如何協(xié)同工作以形成整個(gè)生物體，那么我們?nèi)詫⒚媾R巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)需要前所未有的合作努力，將高通量、全系統(tǒng)的技術(shù)與更有針對(duì)性的方法相結(jié)合，這些方法整合了細(xì)胞生物學(xué)、生物化學(xué)和分子遺傳學(xué)等傳統(tǒng)學(xué)科。

技術(shù)創(chuàng)新可能是任何科學(xué)學(xué)科進(jìn)步的最重要催化劑。 Plant Methods 的目標(biāo)是促進(jìn)新舊改進(jìn)技術(shù)和研究工具的開(kāi)發(fā)和采用，并在適當(dāng)情況下促進(jìn)方法的一致性，以便更好地整合來(lái)自不同實(shí)驗(yàn)室的數(shù)據(jù)。

Plant Methods創(chuàng)刊于2005年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 植物科學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是該細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中屬于非常不錯(cuò)的SCI期刊，在行業(yè)細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中學(xué)術(shù)影響力較大，專業(yè)度認(rèn)可很高，所以對(duì)原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性較高，如果您的文章質(zhì)量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數(shù)4.7，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
