Abbreviation : J. Bryol.
Aims & Scope
Journal of Bryology exists to promote the scientific study of bryophytes (mosses, peat-mosses, liverworts and hornworts) and to foster understanding of the wider aspects of bryology.
Journal of Bryology is an international botanical periodical which publishes original research papers in cell biology, anatomy, development, genetics, physiology, chemistry, ecology, paleobotany, evolution, taxonomy, molecular systematics, applied biology, conservation, biomonitoring and biogeography of bryophytes, and also significant new check-lists and descriptive floras of poorly known regions and studies on the role of bryophytes in human affairs, and the lives of notable bryologists.
Papers containing information on other organisms are acceptable providing that they also incorporate significant new data on bryophytes.
Shorter contributions are published as Bryological Notes whereas extremely long papers (exceeding 20 printed pages) may be published as Bryological Monographs.
New records of bryophyte species from regions other than the British Isles may appear in an edited and numbered column, New National and Regional Bryophyte Records, which carries the names of all contributors as authors.
Detailed studies of the biology of single bryophyte species from any part of the world are welcomed for inclusion in the Bryophyte Profiles series.
All original research articles are subject to full peer review before acceptance and the names of the referees used are published at intervals.
Invited obituaries of eminent bryologists are published under the direction of the BBS Honorary Membership Committee.
The Journal aims to assess all new bryological books in its Book Reviews section and all newly appearing bryological articles and works are listed quarterly in Recent Bryological Literature.
