Area of Science:

  • Plant Biology
  • Technological Innovation
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • Plant Methods is an Open Access journal focused on technological advancements in plant biology.
  • The journal aims to serve the plant sciences community by promoting open access to research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To announce the implementation of an Article Processing Charge (APC) to fund the journal's open access policy.
  • To inform the scientific community about the financial model supporting universal online accessibility and archiving.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of an Article Processing Charge (APC) for published articles.
  • Waiver policies will be available under specific circumstances.
  • Reduced or no charges for authors from BioMed Central member institutions.

Main Results:

  • The APC will cover the costs associated with making articles freely accessible online.
  • The charge will also fund the inclusion of articles in PubMed and public repositories.
  • Financial support mechanisms are established to maintain open access.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation of an APC ensures the continuation of Plant Methods' open access commitment.
  • This model supports the dissemination of technological innovations in plant biology.
  • The journal remains dedicated to serving the plant sciences community.
