American Fern Journal

Aims & Scope

The American Fern Journal (AFJ) publishes original research on ferns and other seed-free vascular plants (e.g., horsetails, lycopsids). Although the organism must be the centerpiece of all acceptable manuscripts, novel research results may be obtained through a range of methods and emphases (e.g., anatomy, conservation, development, diversity, ecology, ethnobotany, evolution, genetics, paleontology, phylogeny, physiology, systematics). Manuscripts concerned primarily with natural products obtained from seed-free vascular plants or whose concentration is on situations or processes where the organisms are secondary players are typically not considered appropriate for publication in the AFJ, and will be returned to the authors without review.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
