About us

FOCUS AND SCOPE

The Journal publishes, with no charges, original scientific papers, reviews, opinion and scientific notes in various areas of plant biology (taxonomy, systematics, and evolution, physiology, phytochemistry, ultrastructure, cytology, anatomy, morphology, palynology, development, genetics, reproductive biology, ecology, ethnobotany, and phylogeography), and the History of Botany and topics related to Botanical Gardens.
It is recommended that papers submitted to Rodriguésia exceed the simple descriptive approach, revealing interpretation related to morphology, ecology, evolution, or conservation. 
Opinion or review papers may be accepted through voluntary demand or at the request of the editorial board.

The Rodriguésia accepts manuscripts provided that:

• all authors have approved the manuscript submitted;
• the results or ideas presented in the manuscript are original;
• the manuscript has not been submitted to another journal unless that other Journal has refused the manuscript or the author asks that other Journal to withdraw the manuscript from the submission process;
•  the manuscript has been prepared in agreement with the latest version of the Guidelines for Publication in Rodriguésia. 

If accepted and published, the paper (or its parts) cannot be published elsewhere,

• except with the consent of the Editor-in-chief;
• the reproduction and proper use can not receive any profit, presenting educational purposes only.

The Editor-in-chief must examine any other cases.

The scientific content, grammar, and spelling within an paper are the sole responsibility of its author.
The corresponding author can request the withdrawal of his manuscript from the evaluation process at any time, provided he contact by email with the Editor-in-Chief.

Since November 2018, Rodriguésia accepts only manuscripts submitted in English. The authors will be required to send the English language verification certificate by a specialized scientific translator when submitting the manuscript.

Since January 2019, Rodriguésia adopted a yearly continuous publication modality, which is available online on the SciELO database.

Preprints: 

Rodriguésia agrees with the international initiative for a more transparent editorial process, known as Ciência Aberta (Open Access). Thus, manuscripts deposited on a preprint server (SciELO Preprints or bioRxiv) will be considered for publication in Rodriguésia. The peer-review process for papers deposited on preprint servers will follow the rules described in the Peer Review Process.

ABOUT THE NAME RODRIGUESIA

“As many countries seek to immortalize the names of  their more outstanding scientists, we made Barbosa Rodriguesthe patronofthis publication,inspired by examples such as Candollea (De Candolle),Ostenia  (Osten), Bonplandia (Bonpland), Hedwigia (Hedwig), Malpighia (Malpighi), Broteria (Felix Brotero), from Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Portugal,respectively,to cite just a few. Thistribute to the famous, internationally known,Brazilian botanist willensure that he is always rememberedby the circulation of this journal, within our country and overseas.”
(Composing Comission: P. Campos Porto, Fernando R. da Silveira, Leonam de A. Penna.Presentation. Rodriguesia. V.1.N1.Winter of 1935.p.1-2)

Rodriguesia, like all scientific periodicals, has a history. When we examine the contents of the journal during its 75 years of existence, the themes, theories and concepts of the articles reveal to us the inevitable  relationship of editorial projects to actors involved and scientific debate in different periods of history.

The Instituto de Pesquisas Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro began publishing  Rodriguesia 26 years after the death of former director João Barbosa Rodrigues (1842-1909), an illustrious botanist who was a pivotal figure within the institution, responsible for creating the herbarium (today, the largest in Brazil), a museum and restructuring the arboretum.
