About the journal
Aims and scope
Plant Signaling & Behavior, a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal published monthly online, publishes original research articles and reviews covering the latest aspects of signal perception and transduction, integrative plant physiology, and information acquisition and processing.
Plant Signaling & Behavior serves as a platform for publication of data related to different levels of biological organization: from molecules, via protein complexes, membranes, organelles, cells, organs, whole plants, up to plant communities. This journal also covers studies on communication and interactions of plants with viruses, bacteria, nematodes, fungi, insects, and predatory animals. These interactions can be pathogenic, symbiotic or predatory.
Plant Signaling & Behavior provides a forum for the integration of molecular biology with physiology, phenomenology, and behavior of individual organisms, up to the system analysis of whole plant societies and ecosystems. This integrative view will allow our understanding of communicative plants in their whole complexity.
The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The overriding criteria for publication in Plant Signaling & Behavior are originality, scientific merit and general interest. Authors may submit to the journal online at http://psb.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex
Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Group, 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Preparing your paper
Submission types
Plant Signaling & Behavior accepts the following types of submissions:
Research Papers/Reports. Research Papers or Reports should include the following sections in the following order:
· Abstract: A single paragraph of fewer than 250 words. The primary goal of the abstract should be to make the general significance and conceptual advance of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. References should not be cited in the abstract.
· Introduction.
· Results: Present results in a logical sequence in tables and illustrations. In the text, explain, emphasize or summarize the most important observations. Units of measurement should be expressed in accordance with Systeme International d'Unites (SI Units).
· Discussion: Do not repeat in detail the data given in the Results section. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study. Relate observations to other relevant published studies. On the basis of your findings (and others'), discuss possible implications/conclusions for the area an field. When stating a new hypothesis, clearly label it as such. State the strengths and weaknesses / limitations of the study.
· Patients and Methods/Materials and Methods: Describe the selection of patients or experimental animals, including controls. Do not use patients' names or hospital numbers. Identify methods, apparatus (manufacturer's name and address) and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Provide references and brief descriptions of methods that have been published. When using new methods, evaluate their advantages and limitations. Identify drugs and chemicals, including generic name, dosage and route(s) of administration.
· Indicate whether the procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee of Human Experimentation in your country, or are in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975.
· For reagents listed in the Materials and Methods section, the company that supplied the reagent and the catalog number should be listed in parentheses; do not list the company location.
· References: No more than 125.
· Figure legends.
· Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and include descriptive titles and legends.
Short Communications. Short Communications are aimed at publishing short, but important, breakthrough data not embedded within a complex story. The abstract should not be longer than 120 words. The paper should be structured as a research paper (see above), but without the headings and subheadings. No more than 50 references and no more than 4,500 words altogether.
Reviews. Reviews should be recognized as scholarly by specialists in the field being covered, but should also be written with a view to informing readers who are not specialized in that particular field, and should therefore be presented using simple prose. Please avoid excessive jargon and technical detail. Reviews should capture the broad developments and implications of recent work. The opening paragraph should make clear the general thrust of the review and provide a clear sense of why the review is now particularly appropriate. The concluding paragraph should provide the reader with an idea of how the field may develop or future problems to overcome, but should not summarize the article. To ensure that a review is likely to be accessible to as many readers as possible, it may be useful to ask a colleague from another discipline to read the review before submitting it. Submitted reviews are subject to the same page charges as full-length reports—whether and how page charges will apply for commissioned reviews will be determined upon each commission. Reviews should include an abstract of 150 words and should cite no more than 150 references.
Meeting Reports. Meeting Reports are summaries of presentations from recent meetings in the field. Authors are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief with proposals for meeting reports. Also, please contact the meeting organizers to verify that reports will be permitted. Please include an abstract of 150-200 words.
Commentaries and Views. Commentaries and Views may be short and focused opinion articles, commentaries on papers recently published in Plant Signaling & Behavior or elsewhere, or commentaries on significant conceptual changes, important trends or new directions in the field. These may include figures and up to 30 references. Please include an abstract of 150-200 words.
View Points. View Points should be short comments on recent controversial and hot topics which need exchange of ideas and arguments. They should run about 1000 words and can contain up to five references. View Points will not have abstracts and will appear in the beginning of an issue. They should be sent to the editor-in-chief directly.
Article Addenda. Addenda are essentially auto-commentary. The Editor or Editorial Board will solicit authors of the most significant recent and forthcoming papers, published elsewhere, to provide a short summary with additional insights, new interpretations or speculation on the relevant topic. These manuscripts may include data or models, which due to space limitations were not included or discussed in the original paper. In other words, the authors may provide biased and uncensored points of views, complementing their article. As with other papers published in Plant Signaling & Behavior, Addenda will appear online and in print. Addenda will appear simultaneously, or very soon after, publication of the original paper. The typical length of an addendum will be approximately 500-1,000 words and may include up to 30 references. There will be no page charges for Article Addenda and you are encouraged to include figures; however, please note the journal policy regarding color charges below.
Please include the following:
· Abstract (one paragraph of fewer than 150 words)
· The citation for the original article including the full author list, title of article and journal information should be included on the title page.
Perspectives. Brief reports invited by Editor-in-Chief about new unexpected or breakthrough data and discoveries.
Letters to the Editor. Letters to the Editor are aimed at publishing short, but important, breakthrough data not embedded within a complex story. This can also be what is considered a Small Publishable Unit. In other words, data that is sufficient in itself to be published, but not a part of a larger story that would comprise an entire research article.
Letters to the Editor can also be mini-reviews with a small addition of novel data.
The abstract should not be longer than 120 words. The paper should be structured as a research paper (see above), but without the headings and subheadings. No more than 50 references and no more than 4,500 words altogether.
Formatting and templates
Papers may be submitted in any standard file format, including Word and LaTeX. Figures should be saved separately from the text. The main document should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides, and all pages should be numbered consecutively. Text should appear in 12-point Times New Roman or other common 12-point font.
Style guidelines
Submissions to Plant Signaling & Behavior should follow the style guidelines described in Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (8th ed.). Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed.) should be consulted for spelling.
References
References should be presented in a separate section at the end of the document, in accordance with CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers guidelines. The references should be listed and numbered based on the order of their first citation. Every reference should be assigned its own unique number. References should not be repeated in the list, with each mention given a different reference number, nor should multiple references be combined under a single reference number. Superscripted digits should be used for in-text citations. Superscripted citations should follow periods, commas, closed quotation marks, question marks, and exclamation points. Mention of a specific reference within the course of a sentence should be proceed by “ref.” (e.g., “For a review, see ref. 20” or “For reviews, see refs. 20–25”).
Author listings in references should be formatted as indicated below.

Author agreement / Use of third-party material
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. As an author you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table or extract text from any other source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (for which you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). Please see our page on requesting permission to reproduce work(s) under copyright for more guidance. Authors are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become property of the publisher.
Policies
Editorial policies
When a manuscript is submitted, the Editors assume that no similar paper has been or will be submitted for publication elsewhere. Further, it is understood that all authors listed on a manuscript have agreed to its submission.
Manuscripts should conform to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (URMSBJ), which can be found in full at www.icmje.org. This is in addition to their need to conform to our general guidelines about layout, etc. In particular, the attention of authors is drawn to the following conditions (some of which are extracted from the URMSBJ):
Disclosure of interest
Please include your disclosure statement under the subheading “Disclosure of interest.” If you have no interests to declare, please state this (suggested wording: The authors report no conflict of interest). For all NIH/Wellcome-funded papers, the grant number(s) must be included in the declaration of interest statement. Read more on declaring conflicts of interest here.
Clinical Trials Registry
In order to be published in a Taylor & Francis journal, all clinical trials must have been registered in a public repository at the beginning of the research process (prior to patient enrollment). Trial registration numbers should be included in the abstract, with full details in the methods section. The registry should be publicly accessible (at no charge), open to all prospective registrants, and managed by a not-for-profit organization. For a list of registries that meet these requirements, please visit the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). The registration of all clinical trials facilitates the sharing of information among clinicians, researchers, and patients, enhances public confidence in research, and is in accordance with the ICMJE guidelines.
Complying with ethics of experimentation
Please ensure that all research reported in submitted papers has been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner, and is in full compliance with all relevant codes of experimentation and legislation. All papers which report in vivo experiments or clinical trials on humans or animals must include a written statement in the Methods section. This should explain that all work was conducted with the formal approval of the local human subject or animal care committees (institutional and national), and that clinical trials have been registered as legislation requires. Authors who do not have formal ethics review committees should include a statement that their study follows the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Consent. All authors are required to follow the ICMJE requirements on privacy and informed consent from patients and study participants. Please confirm that any patient, service user, or participant (or that person’s parent or legal guardian) in any research, experiment, or clinical trial described in your paper has given written consent to the inclusion of material pertaining to themselves, that they acknowledge that they cannot be identified via the paper; and that you have fully anonymized them. Where someone is deceased, please ensure you have written consent from the family or estate. Authors may use this Patient Consent Form, which should be completed, saved, and sent to the journal if requested.
Health and safety. Please confirm that all mandatory laboratory health and safety procedures have been complied with in the course of conducting any experimental work reported in your paper. Please ensure your paper contains all appropriate warnings on any hazards that may be involved in carrying out the experiments or procedures you have described, or that may be involved in instructions, materials, or formulae.
Please include all relevant safety precautions; and cite any accepted standard or code of practice. Authors working in animal science may find it useful to consult the International Association of Veterinary Editors’ Consensus Author Guidelines on Animal Ethics and Welfare and Guidelines for the Treatment of Animals in Behavioral Research and Teaching. When a product has not yet been approved by an appropriate regulatory body for the use described in your paper, please specify this, or that the product is still investigational.
Duplicate or redundant publication
We only publish original manuscripts that are not also published or going to be published elsewhere. Duplicate publications, or redundant publications (re-packaging in different words of data already published by the same authors) will be rejected. If detected after publication, the Editor reserves the right to publish a notice of the fact without requiring the authors' approval. Competing manuscripts on the same study, for example by collaborators who have split into rival teams after the data were gathered, are acceptable only under special circumstances: please contact the Editor-in-Chief for advice.
Limits to freedom of expression
We are committed to academic freedom. It does, however, have to operate within the laws of the USA, where it is published. Although a liberal democracy that is committed to academic freedom, it does have certain legal restrictions on the publication of specific types of material (for example, defamation of character, incitement to racial hatred, material intended to aid terrorism, etc.). In the unlikely event that a manuscript contains material that contravenes these restrictions, the journal reserves the right to request that the material is removed from the manuscript or that the manuscript is withdrawn. In any case, the journal requires authors to take full legal responsibility for what they have written.
Availability of materials and data
It is expected that authors should be able to provide any materials and/or protocols used in published experiments to other qualified researchers for their own use. Materials include (but are not limited to): cells DNA, antibodies, reagents, organisms, mouse strains, and Drosophila strains. These should be made available in a timely manner and it is acceptable to request reasonable payment to cover the cost of maintenance and transport.
For materials such as mutant strains and cell lines, authors should use established public repositories and provide relevant accession numbers wherever possible.
Repositories include:
· Jackson Laboratory (mouse strains)
· Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center at Indiana University (fly strains)
· Drosophila Genomics Resource Center (DNA clones and cell lines)
· MMRRC (Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Centers)
· UK Stem Cell Bank
Papers reporting protein or DNA sequences and molecular structures should provide an accession number to any of the three major collaborative databases: DDBJ, EMBL or GenBank. It is only necessary to submit to one database as data are exchanged between DDBJ, EMBL and GenBank on a daily basis. The suggested wording for referring to accession-number information is: “These sequence data have been submitted to the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession number U12345.”
General reader feedback and criticisms
Readers are encouraged to submit feedback to the Editor-in-Chief that supports, challenges, and/or elaborates upon previous publications. The Editor-in-Chief may consult with the original authorship of a publication or seek the advice of peer-reviewers to determine an appropriate response in cases where significant errors are noted.
If the feedback is of significant interest, it may be considered for publication as a “Letter to the Editor” at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. In these cases, the original authorship of a publication may be given the chance to respond to the feedback in a published “Reply to” or “Response to” article.
Submitting your paper
Plant Signaling & Behavior receives all manuscript submissions electronically via its Editorial Manager site located at http://www.editorialmanager.com/psb. Editorial Manager allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, and facilitates the review process and internal communication between authors, editors, and reviewers via a web-based platform. Editorial Manager technical support can be accessed at http://www.editorialmanager.com/robohelp/10.1/index.htm.
If you are submitting in LaTeX, please convert the files to PDF beforehand (you will also need to upload your LaTeX source files with the PDF). Your manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
We recommend that if your manuscript is accepted for publication, you keep a copy of your accepted manuscript. For possible uses of your accepted manuscript, please see our page on sharing your work.
CrossRef Similarity Check
Please note that Plant Signaling & Behavior uses CrossRef Similarity Check™ (Powered by iThenticate) to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to the journal you are agreeing to originality checks during the peer-review and production processes.
Accelerated Track publication
This track is designed to rapidly process manuscripts that were peer-reviewed by leading biomedical journals and either returned to the authors with requests for unreasonable revisions or unjustly rejected. Within this submission track, Plant Signaling & Behaviorwill consider manuscripts formatted for other journals—no re-formatting is required. The authors should prepare four PDF documents:
1. a complete original manuscript that was rejected by the other journal, with all figures;
2. a complete decision letter from the other journal, with all reviewer’s comments;
3. authors’ rebuttal letter addressing all the comments by reviewers and editors contained in the decision letter; and
4. a complete revised manuscript that the authors are submitting to Plant Signaling & Behavior, with all figures and tables.
A decision on an Accelerated Track submission is usually made within a few days. The manuscript can be either accepted (as is or with minor revision), rejected, or transferred to the Standard Track. All accelerated track manuscripts should be submitted by email to the Editor-in-Chief baluska@uni-bonn.de.
Complying with funding agencies
We will deposit all National Institutes of Health or Wellcome Trust-funded papers into PubMedCentral on behalf of authors, meeting the requirements of their respective open access (OA) policies. If this applies to you, please ensure that you have included the appropriate funding bodies in your submission’s funding details section. You can check various funders’ OA policy mandates here and find out more about sharing your workhere.
Accepted Manuscripts Online (AMO)
Manuscripts submitted to the journal are eligible for rapid online posting if a valid copyright form is received and nothing is missing from the paper. The original manuscript will be available on Taylor & Francis Online in a section on the journal’s page entitled “Latest Articles.” Posted papers will be clearly labeled as the “Accepted, uncorrected manuscript” versions and will include DOI numbers so that the papers can be cited and referenced. Authors will also receive notification from Taylor & Francis when the manuscript is posted, when typeset proofs are available, and once again when the final version is posted. The papers in this section will be removed once the edited and final typeset version is posted online. To ensure rapid publication of the accepted manuscript, we ask you to complete and sign your publishing agreement as quickly as possible.
Proofs
Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author using Taylor & Francis’ Central Article Tracking System (CATS). They should be carefully checked and returned within 48 hours.
Cover image submission
Plant Signaling & Behavior selects a cover illustration from accepted articles, or from submitted images that are designed to accompany an accepted article.
The cover illustration should be scientifically interesting and visually attractive. The illustration need not be a figure from the paper, but should be closely related to the subject of the paper. If you are interested in submitting a figure for use on the cover, please email a high-resolution version of your image, conforming to the specifications below, and an explanatory caption of 50–60 words to the Editor-in-Chief.
All potential cover images should be sized to fit on a single letter size (8.5" x 11") page. Please remove all text, captions, etc. from the image. If you have variations of the image, you may send additional files. Please send no more than two alternate versions.
