The mission of Native Plants Journal is to provide a forum for sharing information on topics related to North American (Canada, Mexico, and US) native plants used for conservation, pollinator habitat, urban landscaping, restoration, reforestation, landscaping, populating highway corridors, and so on. Published papers are potentially useful to practitioners of native plant sciences. Contributions from both scientists (summarizing rigorous research projects) and workers in the field (describing practical processes and germplasm releases) are welcome. Both practical and scientific articles are peer-reviewed but have unique expectations and specifications, as outlined below.

NATIVE PLANTS JOURNAL PUBLISHES 5 TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS

Authors should review the descriptions of article categories and determine the applicable publication category for their work; then follow the appropriate specific instructions seen on the last page of these Author Guidelines for formatting their article.

Refereed Research

Publication category for traditionally constructed scientific papers on topics related to native plants. Designed to communicate the results of research projects conducted with strict adherence to scientific principles and high levels of rigor. Refereed research articles must demonstrate narrowly defined objectives, appropriate controls, adequate replication and repetition, properly applied statistical analyses, and appropriately derived conclusions.

Topic Review

Publication category for critical literature reviews on topics of interest to the native plant scientific community. Designed to provide a forum for summarizing historical research progress and defining the current boundary of knowledge within native plant–related subjects.

Germplasm Release

Publication category for documentation of development and release of native plant germplasm for restoration or landscaping purposes. Descriptions can include named cultivars, selected germplasm, or source-identified natural germplasm.

Propagation Protocol

Publication category for documenting and distributing practical information concerning propagation, production, and establishment of native species. Protocols may describe either seed or vegetative methods. Described techniques should be vetted through scientific investigation or successful, repeated, long-term application.

General Technical

Publication category for practical techniques, processes, and apparati associated with native plant production, establishment, and (or) management. …
