Overview

Botanical Society of Pakistan is one of the leading societies that aims to cultivate, promote and disseminate the knowledge of all the branches of plant sciences. BSP provides an opportunity to active research workers to present their results and to generate discussions for further planning of their research. Pakistan Journal of Botany (PJB) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly publication of the Botanical Society of Pakistan. PJB is being published since 1968. The PJB publishes original, innovative research articles including reviews on all aspects of plant sciences including Physiology, Biochemistry, Systematics, including Molecular Phylogeny, Evolution, Genetics, Biodiversity and Conservation, Paleobotany, Ecology, all plant groups and allied organisms including Algae, Cyanobacteria and Fungi. To fulfill our mission of spreading innovative and meaningful research on plant sciences, we keep our publication charges low to encourage brilliant researchers who are unable to pay higher charges.
