Plant Phenome Journal

Scope

The Plant Phenome Journal is a transdisciplinary, open-access journal publishing original research, interpretations, and datasets investigating all aspects of plant phenomics, including integration of high-throughput phenotyping and high-throughput genotyping and phenomic prediction and selection. Methodological advancements in sensors, devices, vehicles, or technologies for data collection, data management, algorithms, or data analysis should be combined with impact in at least one application domain of agronomy, genetic discovery, physiology, pest management, or plant breeding. The Plant Phenome Journal’s editorial board believes that for articles to have the most impact and integrity for the scientific community and society, data must be made freely available and in an appropriate form for readers to perform reanalysis to reach the same conclusions. Furthermore, it is acknowledged that these datasets will probably be important to develop the next generation of analysis methods or algorithms and answer questions that were not initially planned. The Plant Phenome Journal recognizes that novel phenotyping technologies and phenomic data are rapidly evolving and emerging, and so too should the approaches and the standards to make these data publicly available. The Plant Phenome Journal seeks to be a leader and a forum for discussion on improving the practices of making phenotypic data both available and useful.
