 JUNE
2005–Plant Physiology Announces an Arabidopsis Special Issue
Plant Physiology
is planning the sixth special issue devoted to Arabidopsis in June 2005.
All excellent papers covering Arabidopsis research will be considered;
however, the special emphasis of this issue will be devoted to “Genomics
and the Virtual Plant: New Approaches to Integrating Arabidopsis Genome
and Function.”
Authors interested
in contributing to this special issue should indicate this in their cover
letter when submitting papers online at http://submit.plantphysiol.org/.
Manuscripts to be considered for the special issue should be submitted
no later than January 30, 2005. For additional information, please contact
Editor-in-Chief Natasha Raikhel (nraikhel@ucr.edu)
or Associate Editor Gloria Coruzzi (gloria.coruzzi@nyu.edu).
 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
American Society of Plant Biologists is pleased to announce 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.
