Plant Systematics and Evolution is a biannual peer-reviewed scientific journal covering systematic botany and evolutionary biology.[1] The editors-in-chief are Marcus A. Koch (Heidelberg University), Martin A. Lysak, (Masaryk University), and Karol Marhold (Slovak Academy of Sciences).[1]
The journal was established in Vienna in 1851 under founding editor-in-chief Alexander Skofitz as German: Österreichisches Botanisches Wochenblatt (Austrian Botanical Weekly).[2] In 1858 the publication was renamed German: Österreichische Botanische Zeitschrift (Austrian Journal of Botany) and it continued under that title from volume 9 to 91. In 1943 and 1944, two volumes were published under the title German: Wiener botanische Zeitschrift (Viennese Botanical Journal).[3] It then continued under its previous title until 1973 when it was relaunched with a more international scope under its current title.[4]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Agricola, Biological Abstracts, CAB Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts Service, EMBiology, International Bibliography of Periodical Literature, Scopus, Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology & Environmental Sciences, The Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews, and the Science Citation Index.[1] [5] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2013 impact factor of 1.154.[6]
