The International Journal of Plant Biology and Biotechnology will serve as a major international, peer-reviewed journal that provides a dedicated platform for the publication of high-quality original research articles, critical reviews, and short-communications from emerging and established researchers with much interest in cellular biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, biodiversity conservation, ecology, molecular biology, physiology, morphology, systematic biology, and biotechnology. The main goal of the journal is to publish groundbreaking and exciting, high quality novel research that addresses fundamental questions in plant biology, stress physiology and biotechnology. All published research will provide insights into the growth and development of plants, productivity, stress responses and yield, particularly, of food and feed crops, propagation of medicinal and horticultural plants under favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions. Studies that report findings of the effects of various abiotic and biotic stress constraints on growth and development, productivity, use of botanical extract products, biological/ chemical priming for growth and yield improvement, hydroponics and genetic breeding will be prioritized. All areas of plant biology, physiology and biotechnology are welcomed, including plant tissue and cell culture-based genetic improvement technologies as well as field experiments that can be wide-ranging and interdisciplinary. Of particular importance, the journal encourages contributions on current, trending, and advanced technologies involving plant and crop physiology, breeding, and biotechnology within the African continent and other developing regions, especially for the advancement of knowledge, agricultural sector improvement, economic development, and to promote food security in these regions where unemployment, poverty and diseases remain catastrophic.

View Full Editorial PolicyArticle Processing Charge (APC):
Payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through
the full double-anonymized peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based
on the results of the double-anonymized peer review process.
What Does IGI Global's Open Access APC Cover?
In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions.
Under OA, all the articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time
article processing charge (APC) to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:
- Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
- Typesetting, formatting and layout
- Online hosting
- Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
- Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
- Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
- All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
- The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
the authors - Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*
*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.
APC Subsidizing and Funding
To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding.
Additionally, unlike many other publishers, IGI Global offers flexible subsidies, 100% Open Access APC funding, discounts, and more.
