The Academic Journal of Botanical Sciences (ISSN: 3084-0279) is a bi-annual, open-access, and double-blind peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality scholarly research in botanical sciences and allied plant research fields.
The journal provides a premier academic platform for global researchers, plant biologists, botanists, taxonomists, ecologists, academicians, research scholars, postgraduate students, agricultural scientists, and environmental researchers to publish original, impactful, and scientifically relevant research related to plant science and botanical advancement.
The main objective of the journal is to bridge the gap between theoretical botanical knowledge and real-world plant science applications by encouraging research that contributes to biodiversity conservation, plant resource management, ecological understanding, sustainable agriculture, environmental protection, and applied botanical innovation.
Aims and Scope
The journal welcomes high-quality original research, systematic reviews, laboratory studies, field-based studies, short communications, and scientific reports across major areas of botanical sciences. It supports research that improves understanding of plant structure, function, classification, diversity, ecology, genetics, conservation, and applied uses of plants.
