 Help
Support ASPB and Other Nonprofit Scientific Journals
Nonprofit scientific societies and associations publish many of the finest
scientific journals available today, but each alone lacks the financial
resources to compete with commercial publishers’ marketing efforts.
ASPB has joined with 16 other nonprofit scientific societies and associations
to form the Nonprofit Journals Group. This group needs your help to spread
the word and create awareness for these valuable journals. Please visit
the new Nonprofit Journals Group website and use the library recommendation
form, found within each journal page, to request these journals for your
library—and pass it on to your colleagues now!
www.nonprofitjournals.org
Reminder!
In consideration of the low member subscription rates to the print versions
of Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell and the free online
access to both journals that all members enjoy, members agree to retain
their personal copies of the journals for at least three years from the
date of issue, not depositing them in any library or institution before
the end of this time. Members also agree not to release their personal access
code, assigned by ASPB, to any other party for the duration of their membership
in ASPB. Thank you!
Plant
Physiology & The Plant Cell: Permission to Reprint
Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of a work published
in Plant Physiology or The Plant Cell is granted without fee
for personal or classroom use provided that copies are not made or distributed
for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear the full citation
and the following notice on the first page: “Copyright American Society
of Plant Biologists.” For all other kinds of copying, request permission
in writing from Nancy A. Winchester, Publications Director, ASPB headquarters. |

| The
Arabidopsis Book (TAB) |
|
 The
American Society of Plant Biologists is pleased to publish The
Arabidopsis Book (TAB), a dynamic, fully electronic compilation
of chapters co-edited by Chris Somerville, Elliot Meyerowitz, Jeff
Dangl, and Mark Stitt and available free of charge on the
Internet.
TAB
offers a new model for scientific publishing. Each of the chapters
in the book reviews in detail an important aspect of the plant Arabidopsis
thaliana, and the content continually evolves as new information
becomes available, making TAB the most comprehensive
and current work on Arabidopsis.
ASPB is providing
funds for the posting and maintenance of TAB on the
Internet as a public service. All chapters and updates are hosted
in partnership with BioOne (http://www.bioone.org)
in both HTML and PDF formats.
