Annales Botanici Fennici is an established, international, peer-reviewed journal, open to all scientists, appearing online only. It was founded by Societas Biologica Fennica Vanamo in 1964 replacing its predecessor which had been published between 1923 and 1963. Between 1978 and 1994 it was published by the Finnish Botanical Publishing Board, and since 1994 by the Finnish Zoological and Botanical Publishing Board. The journal is sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Culture.

The journal publishes original, previously unpublished papers on plant and fungal:

• systematics, evolution, phylogeography, taxonomy and nomenclature,
• population biology and genetics,
• physiology and molecular biology,
• terrestrial and aquatic ecology (including effects of climate change),
• ecology and reproduction of invasive species as well as their effects on native populations,
• phytogeography and paleoecology.

We also encourage submissions of in-depth reviews on any of the above-mentioned research areas as well as articles on research methodology that present and/or discuss methods of data gathering and processing, or interpretation of the results through statistical testing. Both theoretical and empirical works are warmly welcome.

Outside the scope are:

• new combination proposals or typifications without compelling reasons (i.e., without connections to more comprehensive systematic/taxonomic/nomenclatural studies),
• studies on cultivated plants, agriculture and related subjects (e.g. crop productivity, weed control),
• floristic notes (incl. new records) and numerical taxonomy,
• descriptive studies (e.g. floristic, anatomical, syntaxonomical, cytotaxonomical, ontogenetic),
• studies based on proxies (e.g., elevation, location) rather than on in-situ measured variables.

OPEN ACCESS POLICY: Papers based on research funded by Finnish institutions will be published open access free of charge in PDF format at www.annbot.net. Other papers will be published open access free of charge in EPUB format at www.annbot.net (an open access PDF option at www.annbot.net is available for a fee of 600 euros).
