Applications In Plant Sciences

Journal Title：Applications In Plant Sciences

Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany's online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences.

APPS publishes the following types of articles: (1) Protocol Notes describe new methods and technological advancements; (2) Genomic Resources Articles characterize the development and demonstrate the usefulness of newly developed genomic resources, including transcriptomes; (3) Software Notes detail new software applications; (4) Application Articles illustrate the application of a new protocol, method, or software application within the context of a larger study; (5) Review Articles evaluate available techniques, methods, or protocols; (6) Primer Notes report novel genetic markers with evidence of wide applicability.

《植物科学应用》（APPS）是一份月刊、同行评审、开放获取的期刊，旨在促进植物科学各个领域新开发的创新工具和协议的快速传播，包括遗传学、结构、功能、发育、进化、系统学和生态学。鉴于当今技术的快速进步及其在植物科学中的应用，APPS 的目标是促进植物科学界的交流，以推动科学研究。APPS 是美国植物学会的出版物，起源于 2009 年，当时是《美国植物学杂志》的在线版块，即 AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences。

APPS 发表以下类型的文章：(1) Protocol Notes 描述新方法和技术进步；(2) 基因组资源文章描述了新开发的基因组资源（包括转录组）的发展并展示了其实用性；(3) Software Notes 详细介绍了新的软件应用程序； （4）应用文章阐述了新方案、方法或软件应用程序在更大规模研究背景下的应用；（5）评论文章评估了可用的技术、方法或方案；（6）入门指南报告了具有广泛适用性证据的新型遗传标记。

Applications In Plant Sciences创刊于2013年，由John Wiley & Sons Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖PLANT SCIENCES全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 12 Weeks ，影响因子指数2.7，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
