The Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society publishes original papers on systematic and evolutionary botany and comparative studies of both living and fossil plants. Review papers are also welcomed which integrate fields such as cytology, morphogenesis, palynology and phytochemistry into a taxonomic framework. The Journal will only publish new taxa in exceptional circumstances or as part of larger monographic or phylogenetic revisions. Also published on behalf of the Linnean Society: Biological Journal of the Linnean Society and Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society.

Acta Botanica Gallica: Botany Letters is an international scientific journal, published by the French botanical Society (Société botanique de France) in partnership with Taylor & Francis. The title was created in 1993, continuing more than a century of renowned publications of the Société Botanique de France. It publishes innovative peer-reviewed research articles on a wide range of botany subjects, including:Taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny and evolution; Morphology, phenology, physiology and ecology; Floristic, phytogeography, and distribution of populations, species and ecosystems; General and population genetics, biology of conservation; Biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and plant biotechnology; Plant - animal or plant - microbial interactions; Palynology; Paleobotany and plant paleoecology; History of botany and plant sciences, and historical botany (including interactions between human beings and environment, ethnobotany, and archaeobotany. Acta Botanica Gallica: Botany Letters accepts articles dealing with all photosynthetic organisms, or any taxa described in their interactions with photosynthetic organisms. All organization levels are accepted, with a particular interest for multidisciplinary papers. Articles on methodologies and tools, short communications, especially on thesis (PhD) researches, and reviews are strongly encouraged. Book reviews will also be published.

Boundary-Layer Meteorology publishes papers on the physical, chemical and biological processes occurring in the lowest few kilometres of the Earth's atmosphere. Boundary-Layer Meteorology has become the primary medium for the publication of theoretical, numerical and experimental studies of the atmospheric boundary layer over both land and sea surfaces.Subject areas covered in the journal include agriculture and forestry, air pollution, air-sea interaction, hydrology, micrometeorology, the planetary boundary layer, surface processes, mesoscale meteorology, numerical modelling of the lower atmosphere, remote sensing, and urban meteorology. Occasional special issues are published that cover a particular topic in great depth.
