Webbia and Phytotaxa. Taxon also good but with very complex evaluation system and they request an english level comparable to Shakespeare

Please have a look at this ResearchGate link.

Taxon.

Taxonomy journals do not usually get high impact factor due to high diversity of plant groups

1.PNAS is very good journal with high impact factor, but it need high quality and quantity work.

2. Taxon

3. JSE

Thank you all...

Dear Sandip,

First look whether your work is within the scope of the said journals. Then only consider these journals for publication.

Phytokeys (1.39) and Phytotaxa (1.185) have an IF not so high as Taxon, but are some of the best journals publishing taxonomy. Phytokeys is open access and the publishing fees are afordable, review process is really quick. Phytotaxa also accepts free-of-charge ms. but then the ms. is not open access.

Take a look into Systematic Botany. One of the best!

I recommend some: Taxon, Systematic Botany, Phytotaxa, Phytokeys, Plant Systematics and Evolution, The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society, etc. Obviously, first of all you must be sure if your manuscript is within the scope of these Journals.

Good luck!

The IF of Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden has increased to 3.185.

I just received a mail from the Editor.

Thank you Dr. Subir Sir....

I think I depends on scope of your work the journal can be scientific reports or nature plants or

Someone affirms that Journals with high impact factor are always the best: I think that the metrics is frequently misleading, and often does not justice to the real value, even historical and cultural, of the Journal. Everybody knows that IF is only a strategy for careers based frequently on papers with more than 10, 20, 30 Authors. What about eminent botanists of the past who currently would not have credit only for not having published with a high IF?I suggest the following recent book about "metrics" including its impact on the Academic World. Enjoy it:

"The Tyranny of Metrics" by Jerry Z. Mueller.

I totally disagree with Alessio. The only requirement of Taxon is originality of the work. If the work is deserving the reviewers, editor and production editor will improve the MS. The authors need not to be Shakespeare so far as the English language is concerned.

The problem with Taxon is that if you are not carrying out studies at whole family or at least genus level, it is very unlikely that the paper will be sent out for review!

Molecular studies have to be carried out at family or generic level but for complex typification problems even a single plant name is sufficient.

Agreed with subeer sir
