About the journal
Canadian Journal of Plant Science is an international peer-reviewed journal edited by the Canadian Society of Agronomy and the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science. Contributions on all aspects of plant science are published in the following disciplines: - agronomy: grains, forages, industrial and alternative crops - application of technology - horticulture: fruits, vegetables, ornamentals - pest management: entomology, plant pathology, weed science
Cross-disciplinary papers in application of technology, plant breeding and genetics, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, management, economics, and plant production systems are also published.
Many contributions reflect aspects of plant growth and reproduction, such as winter-hardiness and cold and drought tolerance, unique to cooler latitudes.
Reviews, letters to the editor, abstracts of technical papers presented at the meetings of the sponsoring societies and conference proceedings may also be published, subject to the approval of the Editor. Contributions are published in English or French with abstracts in both languages. A page charge is payable on publication.
Canadian Journal of Plant Science is indexed in: - Biological & Agricultural Index - CABS (Current Awareness in Biological Sciences) - Chemical Abstracts - Current Contents AB&ES - Ecological Abstracts - Elsevier Biobase/Current Awareness in Biological Science - Environmenatl Periodicals Bibliography - GEOBASE
Publication Dates: January, April, July, October

The Manuscript
General. Submitted papers must be in 1-column format; the automatic word processor line numbering must be turned on. View a sample of a published paper -- note the format is the same for CJAS, CJPS, and CJSS. For style detail see the journal’s Operation Manual, available in PDF format on the journal’s website. For matters not covered by the Operations Manual refer to Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (6th edition, 1994) available from the Council of Science Editors, Inc., Reston, VA 20190-5202. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary or the Larousse Dictionary may be consulted for acceptable spelling. Consistency of spelling must be maintained throughout individual papers. Authors are urged to have one or more colleagues read the manuscript critically prior to submission.
Title. Keep the title brief, but include descriptive words to aid information retrieval. The title should reflect all the important aspects of the article.
Abstract. The abstract should not exceed 200 words or 50 words for Short Communications. State your rationale, objectives, methods, results and impact of the study.
Key Words and Short Title. Authors must include a list of key words or phrases with the manuscript. The list should be up to, but no more than six words or two- to three-word phrases chosen from the title, abstract and body of the paper. Authors must also supply a short title of up to 55 characters.
Headings. The title of the paper is in sentence capitalization. Main headings are capitalized, bold, and centred on the page. Subheadings are as follows: first subheadings, flush left, separate line, capitalize main words, bold. Second subheadings, flush left, separate line, capitalize main words, italic. Third subheadings, flush left, same line as text, capitalize first word, italic, followed by a period.
Organization of Text. The body of most papers should be divided into INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and REFERENCES (note: the "Introduction" and "References" sections do not have headings).
References. Cite only literature that is highly pertinent; avoid multiple citations. Check each reference with the original article and refer to it in the text by the author and date. List multiple references in the text in chronological order. Use “et al.” when there are more than two authors, but give all authors in the references. Include in references articles that are “in press” (name journal and anticipated date of publication) but incorporate in text “manuscript in preparation”, “unpublished observations”, and “personal communication”. Refer to “Citing electronic publications in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science”. Can. J. Plant Sci. 79: 473–474. Refer to BIOSIS List of Serials with Title Abbreviations (Thompson Scientific, 3501 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA) for accepted abbreviations for journals; only these may be used. Double check accuracy of all pages, volume numbers and dates.

[Online] Available: www.cwb.ca/en/growing/wheat/protein.jsp [2005 Jan. 04]. Enumeration and Measurement. Use numerals whenever a number is followed by a standard unit of measurement: e.g., 1 g, 9 d; otherwise, use words through nine and numerals for larger numbers. The denominators of units derived by division should be written with negative indices. Do not use a solidus (/) unless the units are written in full, e.g., kg ha–1 yr–1, W m–2, but metre/second.See Scientific Style and Format for exceptions when describing a series of numbers. Report data in SI units (see table of acceptable SI units). Abbreviations. For commonly used terms, consult Scientific Style and Format. A list of abbreviations should be included, which will be printed on the first page of the paper.
Names and Terms. Soil names should be based on the Canadian soil classification system wherever possible; other national or international systems may be used in addition. Geographic location names or numerical coordinates are encouraged where appropriate to facilitate indexing in international databases. Italicize or underline scientific names of organisms and include authorities only for organisms actually used in the investigation. Use cultivars for agronomic or horticultural varieties. Single quotes are used to enclose the name of a cultivar only when it follows the botanical name. Plant and animal species should be referred to by common name. The complete scientific name and authority should be given when the plant species is first mentioned in the text or in the abstract for those plant species used in the investigation, but is not required for common species of domestic animals. Pesticides should be referred to by their approved common name throughout the text; where no common name is available the full chemical name should be given at first mention in the text.
Statistics. The statistical design should be described briefly and clearly. Data should be analyzed and summarized by appropriate statistical methods; authors should examine closely their use of multiple comparison procedures. A measure of variability, e.g., standard deviation or standard error, must be provided when reporting quantitative data (see Letter to Editor, Can. J. Plant Sci. 60: 325-327). Consult Scientific Style and Format.
Tables. Study carefully the appropriate section in Scientific Style and Format. Suitable statistical statements on estimates of reliability should be included when quantitative data are shown. Denote footnotes using bold superscript letters in reverse order starting with z: z, y, x, w, v, u etc. Tables must be numbered, have a brief title, and be referred to in the text. Vertical rules are not accepted.
Illustrations. For accepted manuscripts, graphics files must be compatible with QuarkXpress. The following file formats are acceptable: *.tif, *.bmp, *.gif, *.eps. Word and WordPerfect graphics files are not acceptable for accepted manuscripts. Images should be of sufficient resolution to print clearly (minimum 150 dpi). Illustrations should be planned to fit one-column, two-column or full-page formats. Lines must be sufficiently thick (minimum 0.5 points) to reproduce clearly, and lettering and symbols must be in proportion to the illustration and large enough to allow for reduction without loss of clarity. Use clear, bold patterns; avoid the use of fine grey-scale patterns, which may plug when printed. Abbreviations, units, etc., should follow journal style. Photographs are best submitted close to final size and should show good tonal contrast. Use uppercase letters to mark subdivisions. Colour photographs areaccepted but authors are expected to pay the full cost of reproduction ($750.00 per page). Contact the journal office for advice on how best to submit colour illustrations. Papers that do not have good-quality illustration will not be published.
Special Punctuation. Period after et al. (not italic); no comma between author’s(s’) name(s) and year in text; no period after title of table.
Short Communications. Short Communications are open to short preliminary reports of important findings of usually not more than 2000 words. They might contain research results that are complete, but characterized by a rather limited area or scope of investigation, descriptions of new or improved techniques or equipment including data performance. Short Communications should contain only a few (usually not more than nine) references. Consult a recent issue of the Journal for format. Illustrative material should be kept to a minimum, usually not more than one table or figure. Abstracts are obligatory and shall be no longer than 50 words.
Si Units. See table below for examples of acceptable SI units.
