Indexation in Clarivate Analytics and new design trends

Starting from 2018 we are indexed in Emerging source citation index of Clarivate analytics. I personally would like to thank all who contributed to our journal and helped to make it better.

Nevertheless, we are not stopping. We are happy to introduce some changes in design and structure of our publications. Now we will use only open fonts from Google. Hope you will like them!

Changes for Cyrillic submissions

Dear colleagues,
It is a time to introduce next stage of changes related to our journal.
Starting from 2017 we are changing structure of Cyrillic articles. From this moment, all Cyrillic articles MUST have English titles, authors & affiliation, abstracts and keywords. Also, Cyrillic articles MUST have all references and in-text citations in English only. In all new submissions, listed above Cyrillic elements should be excluded and replaced by English versions. List of references should be completed fully in English or, at least, contains transliterated versions of cited works. For transliteration you can use the Tool of Ukrainian Botanical Journal (http://ukrbotj.co.ua/tools) or any other available sources.

Significant Changes

Dear colleagues,

We would like to introduce several significant changes in publishing scheme of Modern Phytomorphology journal related to transition from print to electronic priority:

1. All next papers will be published on-line as soon as they will be processed, what can be useful in the case of new findings or other competition. These will be not a pre-prints, but final versions of papers which will include continuous page numeration of current volume. The date of first appear on-line will be considered as a date of first publishing, which also will be indicated in the paper.

2. All the papers of current year will be gathered in one volume, while the papers processed in consequent year – in next volume. Before this time we published 2 volumes per year, but now there no more need for this, and only one volume once per year will appear. This volume will be fulfill during the year and printed in limited amount required for archiving in May-June of the next year.

3. We already published two supplements and will develop this practice. In the case, when there is need to publish extra volume or to separate some content, it will be published as supplement of current volume.

4. We introducing further categorization of papers on: Research Articles, Data Articles, Discussion Article, Short Communications, Reviews, Editorials, Correspondences, Proceedings, Monographs, Software Descriptions, Corrigenda, and Retractions. Other categories for the papers can be applied in the case if there will be such need.

New extra volume published

Hi everyone!

This year is  plenteous for Modern Phytomorphology. Instead of 2 volumes, as usual, we published all 4. They are not so thick as it was in 2012, however they are. And this is more important. Despite of conditions of permanent military aggression and occupation, as well as deep economic crisis, we still exist and develop. Thanks to all who stay with us!

5 years together

Dear authors and readers, colleagues and friends!

In this year we are celebrating 5 year anniversary. I would like to thank you all for support and trust. You were and still are the main reason for our work, and we hope we are doing this work as better as possible.

Thank you that you are standing with us!

The first RISE was done!

In 20-21 April 2016 the first Ranunculacean International Seminar was successfully organized on the base of State Natural History Museum NAS of Ukraine in Lviv city.

On the base of reported topics we prepared and published special volume of Modern Phytomorphology journal which is already and freely available on our website.

More information about RISE you welcome to find here and photos  - on facebook page.

I would like to thank once again to all who participate and help us in organization of RISE.

New requirements for Cyrillic references

Dear authors!

We are introducing new requirements for presentation of Cyrillic papers in the list of References of the articles. Unfortunately, machine processing protocols used by the most of international indexing platforms (such as Thomson Reuters Web of Science and others) can not operate with Cyrillic. Therefore we must to support such Cyrillic references by Romanic transliteration or English translation.

Please take it in the mind during preparation of your manuscripts!
