About the journal
Systematic Botany is the scientific journal of ASPT and publishes four issues per year. See the links below for online copy and submission and editor contact information.
Instructions to Authors
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Members of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists are encouraged to submit manuscripts pertinent to taxonomic botany and closely related disciplines for publication in Systematic Botany. Acceptance of papers for publication depends on merit as judged by each of two or more referees. Members of ASPT are not assessed page charges; however, members are strongly encouraged to contribute to the cost of these pages. All authors are assessed charges for alterations made after type has been set. Authors should acknowledge this policy and the availability of funds when the manuscript is submitted to the editor.
Authors should meticulously follow directions in Checklist for Preparation of Manuscripts and Illustrations.. Manuscripts not so prepared may be returned for revision prior to review. Aspects not covered by the checklist should follow examples in recent issues. Submit all manuscripts in triplicate, including review copies of illustrations. See checklist regarding required quality of review copies of half-tone figures. Do not send originals of illustrations until they are requested with post-review revisions. Use standard 216 by 279 mm (8.5 by 11 inch) paper of good quality, not "erasable" paper (A4 paper is also acceptable). Double space all manuscripts throughout. Include author’s name and page number in upper right corner of every sheet.
Authors are encouraged to submit an illustration (line drawing) or black and white photograph to be considered for the front cover of the journal. Include proposed illustration with revised manuscript. Long dimension of published illustration will not exceed 127 mm or 5" [111 mm (4") wide, 127 mm (5") high is preferred]. Original artwork may be oversize but should not require reduction greater than 60% of original.
Descriptions of new taxa (species and below) should include the following: 1) an illustration (line drawing) clearly showing the diagnostic characters, 2) a comparison with related (or sympatric, or similar) taxa in a dichotomous key or table, and 3) a discussion of the characteristics, ecology, geography, or reproductive biology, etc. that are the basis for its distinctiveness.
Plan tables and illustration carefully to be informative without wasting space. Proportion illustrations to fit column width (ca. 72 mm) or page width (ca. 148 mm) and length (218 mm or less) allowing space for the caption at the bottom. Make line-copy originals no larger than 280 x 406 mm. Provide margins of at least 25 mm on all illustrations. For continuous-tone illustrations, design original for reproduction with little or no reduction. In composite blocks (e.g., Vol. 26: 702, 780), abut edges of component photos or drawings with no space between; printer will add white separator lines. Laserprinter illustrations intended as solitary Figs. (e.g., Vol. 26: 502) should not be mounted on poster-board but must be printed on high quality paper. All originals and review copies of illustrations should be identified by author name(s) and Fig. numbers in the margin on the back.
Those with the capability of desktop publishing may design and print large tables for camera-ready copy. They will be reduced to a maximum of 148 x 218 mm. See Vol. 26: 569-570 for proper format. Data matrices and similar material should be prepared as appendices to be set in smaller type. After a manuscript is accepted for publication camera-ready copy of such appendices (excluding the caption) must be submitted with the revised manuscript. See a recent issue for proper format.
To minimize printing costs for authors and ASPT, authors are required to submit post-review, revised manuscripts in computer diskette form in addition to two typescript copies. The 3.5 inch diskette should be labeled to indicate its contents. We prefer electronic copies in Microsoft Office or WordPerfect for Windows but can work with other word processors in Windows or Macintosh formats.
Proofs and reprint order forms are sent to authors via email as attached PDF files. Authors send corrected proofs to Managing Editor and reprint orders to printer. Authors should make only necessary changes in proof.
Authors are encouraged to consult the editor for early assistance with any aspect of manuscript preparation. Send completed manuscripts to Editor-in-Chief of Systematic Botany.
Papers longer than 50 printed pages should be sent to Editor-in-Chief of Systematic Botany Monographs. .
