Side note: We're not naming names, but we keep seeing reports of authors getting ghosted by journals. If you submit to @ijpsjournal.bsky.social and have a ?, you'll get a reply from managing editor @journalwrangler.bsky.social. Here's a photo of him from 2023, showing off his opposable thumb. (7/n)

Given that, it doesn't make sense to continue printing hard copies of @ijpsjournal.bsky.social. The last issue to be offered in print will be November 2026.

However, we want to emphasize that in every other respect the things that make @ijpsjournal.bsky.social what it is will be unchanged (3/n)

In our humble opinion, this is not a defensible practice. If the paper is reviewable, then it is the journal's job to find reviewers, full stop.

Strongly recommend! Study plants and have a topic you love? An opportunity to dig and think deeply on a topic, with no restraints on length, and provide your perspective on its past, present, and future. And get paid! Writing this review on traits & herbaria in 2022 was super rewarding.

Plant lovers ! Not only did we get a mock cover but the real cover!. Valentina did a phantastic job targeting all key stages of fruit development in the gooey Loranthaceae. Also stay tuned for the genetics of extreme ovule modifications. #non-modelplantsrock #parasitesbreakdevelopmentalrules

We at @ijpsjournal.bsky.social are happy to extend deadlines and otherwise work with you to see your Coulter Review through to publication.

Finally, if you are interested in writing a Coulter Review but are uncertain as to when you would find time to write it, don't let that stop you from submitting a proposal.

Another perk of writing a Coulter Review--you get to support non-profit academic publishing, as
@ijpsjournal.bsky.social has been published by the wonderful folks @chicagojournals.bsky.social since 1896!

The Coulter Review provides scientists with an opportunity not just to review the literature, but also to share their own perspective on exciting research in the plant sciences. The review is OA, featured on the cover @ijpsjournal.bsky.social, and comes with a $1000 honorarium.

First, @ijpsjournal.bsky.social has a Coulter Review because we were founded by John Merle Coulter in 1875. Coulter went on to become the first head of Botany at the University of Chicago. You can read more about him here:
