The journal is open to territorial studies at different geographic scale and accepts contributes dealing with applied research, provided they offer new methodological perspectives and a robust, updated vegetation analysis.
Plant Sociology supports the Italian Vegetation Data Base VegItaly (member of the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases - GIVD) and urges the contributing Authors to store their vegetation data in it.
Plant Sociology has succeeded Fitosociologia (1990-2011, ISSN 1125-9078) and Notiziario della Società Italiana di Fitosociologia (1964-1989, ISSN 1120-4605), the historical journals of the SISV. The name Plant Sociology is a tribute to the founder of Phytosociology, Josias Braun-Blanquet (1884-1980), who used it in the English translation of his major monographic work "Pflanzensoziologie".

Rethinking Ecology is an open access journal that aims at fostering both forward thinking and the publication of novel ideas in ecology, evolution and environmental sciences
Rethinking Ecology is an open access journal that aims at fostering forward thinking and the publication of novel ideas in all areas of ecology. To achieve these aims, the journal publishes perspectives, research papers, rapid communications, responses, software descriptions and horizon scanning papers with an emphasis on new hypotheses and bold ideas. We believe that new ideas and innovative research do not arise from direct invitations and we are committed to enable all authors to publish their best work, regardless of their seniority, gender, publication track record and country of origin.

After 61 years of existence, the journal reached the volume 61. Also, since 2011, it becomes a biannual journal, Issue 1 being released in June and Issue 2 in December.
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa” (The Journal of “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History) publishes original research or review articles deal with all aspects of general zoology (taxonomy, systematics, evolutionism, faunistics, zoogeography, palaeozoology, animal ecology, invasive species of animals, parasitism, biodiversity conservation). Also, some book reviews, anniversaries and obituaries of some personalities of science world can be accepted to be published in this journal.
In the beginning, articles submitted to Travaux were published in French, German and Russian. Later, English was included. In the present, the only language accepted for this journal is English.

Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal of plant community ecology published by the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS). It is devoted to vegetation survey and classification at any organizational and spatial scale and without restriction to certain methodological approaches.
Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS) is an international, peer-reviewed, online journal on plant community ecology published on behalf of the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS) together with its sister journals, Journal of Vegetation Science (JVS) and Applied Vegetation Science (AVS). It is devoted to vegetation survey and classification at any organizational and spatial scale and without restriction to certain methodological approaches.
The journal publishes original papers that develop new vegetation typologies as well as applied studies that use such typologies, for example, in vegetation mapping, ecosystem modelling, nature conservation, land use management or monitoring. Particularly encouraged are methodological studies that design and compare tools for vegetation classification and mapping, such as algorithms, databases and nomenclatural principles. Papers dealing with conceptual and theoretical bases of vegetation survey and classification are also welcome. While large-scale studies are preferred, regional studies will be considered when filling important knowledge gaps or presenting new methods. VCS also contains permanent sections on "Ecoinformatics" and "Phytosociological Nomenclature".
The journal is published online only.
