# New Phytologist (new-phytologist)

## Journal positioning

New Phytologist, published by the New Phytologist Foundation, is a plant-science journal
with a long-standing strength in **plant ecology, physiology, environmental interactions,
and symbiosis** — mycorrhizal and other plant–microbe relationships, whole-plant function,
and processes that scale from organism to community and ecosystem. Its defining expectation
is a **conceptual advance with integrative breadth**: a study that changes how a process is
understood by connecting levels of organization, rather than a tightly bounded mechanistic
result. A study whose contribution is a single gene-to-function molecular mechanism with no
physiological, ecological, or whole-organism reach usually fits a cellular/molecular journal
better. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the
journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live New Phytologist
