Open Access Policy

Plant Science Review (PSR) is committed to the principles of Open Access (OA), ensuring that scientific knowledge is freely accessible to researchers, educators, policymakers, and the general public worldwide. Open Access eliminates subscription barriers, allowing immediate and unrestricted online access to peer-reviewed research.
The concept of Open Access was first defined by the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), and PSR upholds these principles by ensuring that:

  • All peer-reviewed articles are freely available without any subscription or paywall restrictions.
  •  Articles are immediately released in an open-access format with no embargo period.
  • Published content can be shared, distributed, and reused without obtaining prior permission, provided proper citation is given to the original source.

Authors retain the rights to their work under open-access licensing, promoting the dissemination of knowledge while maintaining proper academic attribution. However, some materials, such as figures, tables, or excerpts borrowed from other copyrighted sources, may require additional permissions. In such cases, authors must obtain consent from the original copyright holders (typically the publisher or authors of the original work) before reuse. By adopting this open-access model, Plant Science Review supports global knowledge-sharing, innovation, and collaboration in plant science research.

PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) Open Access Information and Policy
Plant Science Review (PSR) are under an open access license, which means all OA content is fully open to all and free of charge. Published materials can be re-used if properly accredited and cited. Open access publication is supported by the authors’ institutes or research funding agencies by payment of a comparatively low Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted articles.

License

Plant Science Review (PSR) publish articles under the Creative Commons Attribution License and are using the CC BY license, PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR)  believes that open access publishing fosters the exchange of research results amongst scientists from different disciplines, thus facilitating interdisciplinary research.

Advantages of Open Access

Open Access provides greater availability and visibility of the academic works, which leads to more citations and greater research impact. For the researcher or author, Open Access increases the audience for a publication far beyond the audience of any non-Open Access journal. As a reader, you have barrier-free access to the literature you need for your research. Access is not constrained by subscription costs or library budgets.

Open Access journals usually provide faster publication, accepted articles are typically published online more rapidly in Plant Science Review (PSR) than those of traditional, subscription-based and printed journals are.

Data Sharing Policies

Researchers are to share their data to provide other researchers the ability to expand and build upon their published claims. Authors are encouraged to share and make available any data and materials supporting the results or analyses presented in their paper. Research data can be uploaded to repositories with the access information included in the article or appended in supplementary files. Any restrictions on the availability of the published research materials or relevant information therein must be disclosed to the editors directly at the time of submission and cited in the submitted manuscript.

Data Repository Guidance

Authors are advised to deposit data in a recognized data repository where possible, or to generalist repositories if no suitable community resource is available.

We encourage researchers to consider the FAIR Data Principles when depositing data. We further advise researchers to refer to the FAIRsharing.org and re3data.org websites for the search of a suitable repository – both websites provide a list of certified data repositories.

Data Availability Statement

Authors are encouraged to provide a data availability statement (DAS), detailing where data associated with a paper can be found and how it can be accessed, including, where applicable, hyperlinks to datasets utilized or generated therein. The DAS should be included in the submitted manuscript, before the ‘References’ section (not required for review articles), clearly indicating the location and access manner of the study’s data being shared, and providing an explanation to the unavailability of the data which cannot be released.

During a peer-review, the Journal’s editors may require, as a condition for publication, that the data supporting the results in the paper be peer-reviewed and archived in an appropriate public repository. In such cases, a data availability statement is required, with a list of citations for the shared data, and a link to the repository used. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure the soundness of any shared data. Any errors in the data rest solely on the provider of the shared dataset(s). Peer reviewers and editors will be rigorously examining the manuscript’s data availability statement and its compliance with the journal’s data sharing policy.

Reporting Requirements for Research in the Life Sciences, Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Sciences
Authors of research articles in the life sciences, behavioral and social sciences, and ecology, evolution, and environmental sciences may be required to make available details about aspects of experimental and analytical design to the editors and reviewers for the purpose of assessing the manuscript.

At Plant Science Review (PSR), we value open scientific exchange and believe in promoting transparency and reproducibility in research. We encourage Authors to submit to Plant Science Review (PSR) to include a Data Availability Statement in their manuscripts. This statement should provide information about the availability of the research data and any restrictions or conditions associated with accessing it.

  1. Data sharing may be inappropriate when ethical, legal, or privacy considerations arise. In such cases, authors must clearly outline any limitations in the Data Availability Statement during manuscript submission. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that any shared data adhere to the consent obtained from participants regarding the use of confidential information.
  2. Data Repositories
    Authors are strongly encouraged to deposit their research data in reputable and discipline-specific data repositories. Preferred data repositories should be recognized and indexed by organizations like DataCite, re3data, or other relevant repositories in their respective fields.
  3. Data Citation
    Research data should be cited in the main article to give proper credit and acknowledge the efforts of data creators. Authors must properly reference the deposited data in their reference list, including the dataset’s persistent identifier (DOI, accession number, etc.).

Archiving

All journals published by Plant Science Review are archived in Portico, which provides permanent digital archiving for scholarly journals.

Ethics Statement

Plant Science Review takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure adding the highest quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously on every level. Our staff are trained to identify and report any irregularities. Our editors follow Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and proceed with a zero tolerance policy for ethical violations, including plagiarism, data falsification and authorship misconduct. To confirm the originality of all submitted manuscripts, we use iThenticate for similarity checks against prior publications.

Analytic Methods (Code) Transparency

For work where novel computer code was developed, authors should release it either by depositing it in a recognized, public repository such as GitHub or uploading it as supplementary information to the publication. The name, version, corporation and location information for all software used should be clearly indicated. Please include all the parameters used to run software/program analyses.

  1. Code Availability
    Authors are strongly encouraged to share the computer code and software used to generate results presented in their articles. The availability of code enhances research reproducibility and allows other researchers to build upon the work.
  2. Code Repositories
    Authors should deposit their code and software in well-established and reputable code repositories such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or other relevant platforms. Providing a link to the code repository should be included in the Data Availability Statement.
  3. Code Documentation
    Authors must ensure that the deposited code is well-documented, readable, and easy to understand. Sufficient comments and explanations should be provided within the code to facilitate its usage by others.
  4. Citation
    Authors must provide a citation for the code in the article’s reference list. Include the code’s persistent identifier (e.g., DOI or URL) to facilitate proper acknowledgment and citation by other researchers.

Suggesting Reviewers

Authors are welcome and encouraged to suggest reviewers when they submit their manuscripts by using the submission system. Authors should make sure they are totally independent and without conflicts of interest in any way. When suggesting reviewers, the Corresponding Author must provide an institutional email address for each suggested reviewer.

English Editing Service

Clear and concise language enables both the journal editors and reviewers to concentrate on the scientific content of your manuscript. In order to facilitate a proper peer review process and ensure that submissions are judged exclusively on academic merit, Plant Science Review (PSR) strongly encourages authors to prepare the language of their manuscripts with the utmost care. The use of the recommended language polishing service on your manuscript does not indicate the acceptance of your manuscript for publication in Plant Science Review (PSR).
If you are an author whose native language is not English—or you have any concerns regarding the language quality of your manuscript—we recommend having your manuscript professionally edited by a qualified English-speaking researcher in your field prior to submission.
CRC Journals offers paid language editing services, or you may choose to use an alternative service that provides a confirmation certificate.

Authorship and Contribution

Authorship

Plant Science Review (PSR) follows the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines regarding authorship and contributions. Authorship should be based on the following 4 criteria:

  1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
  2. Drafting the work or reviewing it critically for important intellectual content; AND
  3. Final approval of the version to be published; AND
  4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
    All those designated as authors should meet all four criteria for authorship, and those who do not meet all four criteria should be acknowledged in the acknowledgement section.

The corresponding author is the one individual who takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer-review, and publication process. The corresponding author typically ensures that all the journal’s administrative requirements, such as providing details of authorship, ethics committee approval, clinical trial registration documentation, and disclosures of relationships and activities are properly completed and reported, although these duties may be delegated to one or more co-authors. The corresponding author should be available throughout the submission and peer-review process to respond to editorial queries in a timely way, and should be available after publication to respond to critiques of the work and cooperate with any requests from the journal for data or additional information should questions about the paper arise after publication.

When the work has to be conducted by a large multi-author group, it is advised that the list of authors be decided before the work starts and confirmed before the manuscript submission. All members of that group listed as authors should have met all the above four criteria for authorship with final approval of the manuscript, and should be able to take public responsibility for the work with full confidence in the accuracy and integrity of the work of all group authors. As such, they will be required as individuals to complete conflict-of-interest disclosure forms.
Submissions by any individual other than one of the listed authors will strictly not be considered. All authors will take responsibility for the content of the manuscript they submitted, and ensure they are familiar with the other authors individual contribution.

Non-author Contributor

Contributors who meet fewer than all 4 of the above criteria for authorship should not be listed as authors, but they should be acknowledged. Examples of activities that alone (without other contributions) do not qualify a contributor for authorship are acquisition of funding; general supervision of a research group or general administrative support; and writing assistance, technical editing, language editing, and proofreading. Those whose contributions do not justify authorship may be acknowledged individually or together as a group under a single heading (e.g. “Clinical Investigators” or “Participating Investigators”), and their contributions should be specified (e.g., “served as scientific advisors,” “critically reviewed the study proposal,” “collected data,” “provided and cared for study patients,” “participated in writing or technical editing of the manuscript”).

Alteration to Authorship

Requests made for an authorship change after submission must be made to the editorial office with an explanation for the change, include the signature of all authors, and be submitted by the corresponding author.
Plant Science Review (PSR) places significant importance on maintaining the integrity and transparency of authorship contributions, and Plant Science Review (PSR) do not accept any requests to change the first author or corresponding author during any stage of manuscript processing. Any insistence on altering the first author or corresponding author will result in the rejection of the manuscript without further review or consideration.
Please note that if you have changed affiliation during the course of the research, your new affiliation could be acknowledged in a note. PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) does not normally take requests for changes to affiliations after the acceptance of manuscripts.
Authorship issues found after publication may result in a correction. If and when the authors are unable to resolve among themselves an authorship-related dispute, PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) may raise the issue with the authors’ institution(s) and abide by its/their guidelines.

Authorship Contribution Statement

The Author Contributions statement is mandatory for research articles, except for papers with a single author. It should represent all the authors and is to be included upon submission. All listed authors must have substantially contributed to the manuscript and have approved the final submitted version, which should include a description of each author’s specific work and contribution. We suggest the following format for the contribution statement:
“The authors confirm contribution to the paper as follows: Conceptualization, First-name Lastname1 and First-name Lastname2; methodology, First-name Lastname1; software, First-name Lastname1; validation, First-name Lastname1, First-name Lastname2 and First-name Lastname3; formal analysis, First-name Lastname1; investigation, First-name Lastname1; resources, First-name Lastname1; data curation, First-name Lastname1; writing—original draft preparation, First-name Lastname1; writing—review and editing, First-name Lastname1; visualization, First-name Lastname1; supervision, First-name Lastname1; project administration, First-name Lastname1; funding acquisition, First-name Lastname1. All authors reviewed the results and approved the final version of the manuscript”.
Please turn to the CRediT role descriptors—CRediT for the term explanation.

Authorship and the Use of AI or AI-Assisted Technologies

Plant Science Review (PSR) follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) position statement when it comes to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technology in manuscript preparation. Tools such as ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) do not meet authorship criteria and thus cannot be listed as authors on manuscripts.
In situations where AI or AI-assisted tools have been used in the preparation of a manuscript, this must be appropriately declared with sufficient details at submission via the cover letter. Furthermore, authors are required to be transparent about the use of these tools and disclose details of how the AI tool was used within the “Materials and Methods” section, in addition to providing the AI tool’ s product details within the “Acknowledgments” section.
Authors are fully responsible for the originality, validity, and integrity of the content of their manuscript and must ensure that this content complies with all of Plant Science Review (PSR) ethics policies.

Editors and Journal Staff as Authors

In the circumstances where Editors or editorial staff of the journal submit their own studies to the journal, they shall not be involved in the reviewing process, and the review process must be made transparently and rigorously. Submissions authored by editors or editorial staff of the journal will be handled by another editor who has least COIs with the authors to minimize the bias.

Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest (COIs, also referred to as “competing interests”) may indicate the potential to influence the validity or objectivity of research. Editors, authors, and reviewers may be involved into COIs, and PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) considers it essential to identify and seek to mitigate them so as to ensure the integrity of its role in the dissemination and preservation of knowledge. Failure to declare competing interests may result in decline of a manuscript.

Authors must declare all potential conflicts of interest; if they have none to declare, they should state plainly, “The author(s) declare(s) no conflicts of interest to report regarding the present study”.

In order to limit COIs, all roles involved in the peer-review process must identify and declare any personal circumstances or associations that may be perceived as having such influence and acknowledge all funding sources for the work. However, COI statements relating to public funding sources, such as government agencies and charitable or academic institutions, need not be supplied.

To be specific, PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) defines a COI as any relationship that may have an impact on the authors, reviewers, or editors of a manuscript during the peer review process, on the making of editorial decisions, or generally on any stage in the path toward publication.
Thus, COIs may include (but not limited to):

Financial COIs

  • Stock or share ownership
  • Patent applications
  • Research grants
  • Consultancies
  • Royalties

Non-financial COIs

  • Affiliation with the same institution;
  • Personal relationships, e.g., between thesis advisers and their students, friends, family members, etc.;
  • Academic relationships, e.g., among co-authors, collaborators, or competitors;
  • Government employees;
  • Members of PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) editorial board of a PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) journal.

COIs are not considered permanent; such relationships that have ended more than two years prior to the submission of a manuscript need not be identified as sources of potential conflict.

Authors

Plant Science Review (PSR) requires a declaration from all authors of a manuscript regarding any potential COIs that could be relevant to the integrity or reliability of the scientific and professional judgment presented therein, as well as that of otherwise unassociated studies in the same journal. Potential conflict, unless already declared, will be held in confidence while the paper is under review. If the article is accepted for publication, the potential conflict of interest will be included in the acknowledgments. If there is, in fact, no conflict of interest, the authors should state plainly.

Reviewers

Reviewers should declare any COIs when they are assigned a manuscript and disclose this information to the editor, who will then assess whether they should proceed with the review process.

Editors

Editors, including Editors-in-Chief, Associate Editors and Guest Editors should be aware of their own potential COIs. If the Editors have authored or coauthored the manuscripts submitted to Plant Science Review (PSR), Editors might be perceived to be influenced by the relationship. Plant Science Review (PSR) expects the Editor(s) to declare any COIs or potential COIs.

Copyright and Licensing

Plant Science Review (PSR) publishes all articles under an open-access license, which means that the articles remain accessible to all without charge and without technical or legal barriers and that they can be reused with proper acknowledgment and citation. Financial support for the open access publication is provided by the authors’ institutions or by research funding agencies in the way of article processing charge (APC) once manuscripts have been accepted. More specifically, PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) publishes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) License. PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) is committed to open access publishing as a means to foster the exchange of research among scientists, especially across disciplines.
The copyright and other proprietary rights related to papers published by PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) are retained by the authors. If the authors reproduce any text, figures, tables, or illustrations from the papers published by PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) in their own future research, they must cite the originally published version. They are further asked to inform PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) ’s editorial office of any exceptional circumstances in this regard at the time of submission, for which exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the publisher.
Articles published in PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) are likely to contain material republished with permission under a more restrictive license. When this situation arises, it should be indicated; it is the responsibility of the authors to seek permission for reuse from the copyright holder.

Corrections & Retractions

PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) journals will issue corrections, and/or retraction statements, when deemed proper.

Corrections

PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) aims to publish every article online in its final form. Upon receiving the proofs of their accepted manuscripts, authors will have an opportunity to check for errors and oversights. Occasionally, a mistake is pointed out in a published article, necessitating the issuance of a correction statement. A correction is a statement rectifying an error or an omission, Authors or readers may submit such a statement either through the journal’s online manuscript submission system (https://www.techscience.com/Plant Science Review (PSR) ), or by sending an email, along with the submission ID, to the PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) ’s editorial office (Plant Science Review (PSR). A correction notice, published and linked to the corresponding article, is freely accessible to all readers.
When making corrections to the original articles, the original article both in PDF and XML versions are corrected and bi-directionally linked to and from the published amendment notice that details the original error. Any changes made to the original articles affect data in figures, tables or text, the amendment notice will reproduce the original data. If it is not possible to correct the original article in both PDF and XML versions, the article will remain unchanged but will contain links that direct to and from the published correction notice.

  • Author’s Correction: An Author’s Correction may be published to correct an important error(s) made by the author that affects the scientific integrity of the published article, the publication record, or the reputation of the authors or the journal. The Managing Editor of that manuscript will be responsible for handling the correction process.
  • Publisher’s Correction: A Publisher’s Correction may be published to correct an important error(s) made by the journal that affects the scientific integrity of the published article, the publication record, or the reputation of the authors or of the journal.

Retractions

A retraction is a notice that a previously published paper should no longer be regarded as part of the published literature. The primary purpose of a retraction is to ensure the integrity and completeness of scholarly records by withdrawing any manuscript which is found to contain infringements of professional ethical codes, major errors, or where its main conclusion is seriously undermined as a result of new evidence coming to light.

Violations of professional ethical codes include multiple submissions without proper citations or permission, redundant publications, fake claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, etc. Major errors cover any or all miscalculations or experimental errors, intentionally or due to honest mistakes.

The retraction will be referred to the Editors-in-Chief, Associate Editors, and the Managing Editor who have handled the paper. Retracted articles will not be removed from the printed copies of the journal (e.g., from libraries) nor from the electronic archives. Their retracted status will be indicated as clearly as possible. Bibliographic information about the article will be retained to ensure the permanence and integrity of the published scientific record. When an article is retracted, in most of the cases, the original manuscript is corrected and is bi-directionally linked (to and from) the published retraction notice which details the original error. For the purpose of transparency, when corrections made to the original article affect any data, figures, tables or texts, the retraction notice will display the original data alongside the corrected version. When a correction is not possible, all existing versions of the article will remain unchanged but will contain the bi-directional links, to and from, the published retraction notice.

The notice of retraction is permanently linked to its corresponding retracted article and is freely available and accessible by all readers.

Articles may be retracted by their Author(s), by the Journal Editors, or by the Publisher, i.e., CRC Journals . In all instances, the retraction should indicate the reason for the action as well as the entity behind the decision. A retraction made without the unanimous agreement of the authors is feasible and indicated as such.

Article Withdrawal

Article Withdrawal is only used for articles in press, which represent early versions of articles and sometimes contain errors, or may have been accidentally submitted twice. Occasionally, an articles may contain infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, and fraudulent use of data or the like. Articles that include errors or are discovered to be accidental duplicates of other published article(s), or are determined to violate our publishing ethics guidelines in the view of the editors (such as multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like), may be “Withdrawn” by the article author or the journal editor.
Removal of Published Content
Under special circumstances, PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) reserves the right to remove an article, book or other content from PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) ’s website and submission system. Such action may be taken when:

  • There are evidence indicating that the published content is defamatory, infringes on intellectual property rights, privacy rights, other legal rights, or is plainly unlawful;
  • A court or government order requires removal of such content;
  • The content, if acted upon, would pose an immediate and serious risks to health. Removal may be temporary or permanent. A statement will be published explaining the decision behind the removal.

Addressing Post-publication Issues

PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) is fully committed to maintaining the integrity and completeness of the scientific record and recognizes its importance to researchers and the academic community at large. As such, PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) will thoroughly investigate concerns that are directly raised with us by authors and/or readers. Authors are strongly encouraged to address any raised issues. In the course of our investigation, we may request original raw data, and consult with experts and other scholars in the field. Depending on the seriousness of the issues, the following outcomes may ensue:

  • A manuscript still under consideration may be rejected and returned to the author.
  • A published online article, depending on the nature and severity of the issues, may result in a correction notice or a retraction notice.
  • Issues deemed to be serious may prompt PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) to inform the authors’ institution and related affiliations.

Our actions are driven by our dedicated aim for transparent notification to our readers and unabated commitment to the integrity of the published record, and not by any motivation to sanction individuals or attribute responsibility to specific named individuals. We may refer readers to the institutional investigations’ reports if they are publicly available. While we are committed to addressing post-publications issues and correcting the record swiftly, investigations typically take some time to reach resolutions given the complexity of the discussions, the diligence in our process and the need to obtain original data and consult with experts. We will issue and regularly update relevant Editor’s Notes and/or Editor’s Expression of Concern as interim notifications to alert our readership of any of concerns with published material.

Article Withdrawal

PLANT SCIENCE REVIEW (PSR) ’s appeal and complaint procedures pertain to grievances against editorial decisions, discontent with procedural inaccuracies (such as tardiness in manuscript handling), and complaint regarding publishing ethics.

Queries of appeal and complaint must be accompanied by comprehensive justifications, and authors are requested to submit appeals and complaints in writing to editor@crcjournals.org. The editorial office will provide a prompt response upon receipt of a formal appeal or complaint, and endeavor to resolve the matter within a reasonable time frame.

Concerns regarding ethical misconducts may also be reported to editor@crcjournals.org. The Editorial Integrity team adheres to COPE Guidelines, and subsequently determines a suitable course of action, authorizing editorial offices to furnish the complainant with feedback.
