9 more articles and a new Impact Factor!
Dear Readers,
I hope to find you well. Half of 2018 is gone and we have filled over 180 pages of this year’s issue of the Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality with content. Nine articles have been added since the last newsletter in May. Browse the current issue here: https://ojs.openagrar.de/index.php/JABFQ/issue/view/1487 .
We still weren’t unable to fix the newsletter / table of contents messages and have to resort to announcements such as this on the webpage. However, you can sign up for our RSS feed with https://ojs.openagrar.de/index.php/JABFQ/gateway/plugin/WebFeedGatewayPlugin/rss if you use a feed reader or if your email program is able to process RSS feeds. You will then receive titles and abstracts of new articles as soon as they are published.
Last month, the 2017 impact factors (Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports) have been released and we are proud to announce that the upwards trend for the Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality continues. Our 2017 IF is 1.115. Likewise, our Scopus Cite Score improved to 1.24.
Last but not least, I want to point you to the 2nd International Plant Spectroscopy Conference (IPSC-2019), which will be held in Berlin, Germany, on March 25-28, 2019. The conference brings together internationally renowned spectroscopists and plant scientists. The meeting will gather experts from fundamental to applied research and will highlight applications from academia to industry. New developments in various fields of spectroscopy and their application in plant sciences will be presented and discussed. Plenary lectures include "NMR in plant science - methods and selected examples" (Bernd Schneider), "Cheminformatics tools to query metabolomics across species, genotypes and metabolic modules" (Oliver Fiehn), "Multivariate analytical strategies for spectral data of plants" (Andras Gorzsas), "Raman microscopy combined with AFM to get a deeper insight into complex biological samples" (Malgorzata Baranska) and many more.
