MPMI has instituted a feature called First Look. Within a few days of acceptance, papers by authors who choose to participate will be posted online. The papers have been peer reviewed and then revised as necessary by the authors but have not been copyedited, formatted, or assigned to an issue.The date on which each paper is posted is considered the publication date. The papers are fully citable by doi.The following statement appears on papers posted in First Look:MPMI "First Look" paper • doi: 10.1094/MPMI-00-00-0000 • posted 00/00/201XThis paper has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication but has not yetbeen copyedited or proofread. The final published version may differ.

PhytoFrontiers™ launched in mid-2020. As a gold open access journal, it is an ideal place for authors who elect or are required to publish open access. With its broad plant health scope, PhytoFrontiers is a new venue for those who wish to publish research that was previously out of scope of the existing APS journals. As the journal strives to publish all rigorous research regardless of impact, PhytoFrontiers also provides space for plant pathologists to publish negative results or results perceived as having no impact.

Phytobiomes is a transdisciplinary journal of original research on organisms and communities interacting with plants in any ecosystem. It includes the fundamental to translational work of scientists in the areas of microbiology, virology, nutrient cycling, climate change, ecology, agronomy, entomology, computational biology, nematology, plant pathology, and more.

For nearly 100 years Phytopathology has been considered the premier international archival journal for publication of articles on fundamental research that advances understanding of the nature of plant diseases, the agents that cause them, their spread, the losses they cause, and measures that can be used to control them. Subject areas include bacteriology, host-parasite biochemistry and cell biology, biological control, disease control and pest management, ecology and population biology, epidemiology, disease etiology, host genetics and resistance, mycology, nematology, plant stress and abiotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins, and virology. In addition to research articles, mini-reviews provide up-to-date summaries of recent advances in the science.

Plant Disease is the leading international journal for rapid reporting of research on new diseases, epidemics, and methods of disease control. It covers basic and applied research, which focuses on practical aspects of disease diagnosis and treatment. Monthly feature articles summarize current information on specific diseases. The popular Disease Notes section contains brief and timely reports of new diseases, new disease outbreaks, new hosts, and pertinent new observations of plant diseases and pathogens worldwide.The online version of Plant Disease includes interpretive summaries and e-Xtra articles that include supplemental data tables and additional figures and photos as well as color versions of illustrations shown in black and white in the print journals.Plant Disease ranked in the top 10 journals for impact on research and teaching efforts in the crop sciences according to Literature of Crop Science, a project published by Cornell University press. Plant Disease received the Neographics Franklin Award for Excellence in Graphic Design.
