New Disease Reports: Important Notice
The Board of the British Society for Plant Pathology, responsible for both New Disease Reports and Plant Pathology, has decided that papers accepted for NDR and published online will no longer appear in Plant Pathology. It was decided that this would apply to papers submitted after 31 December 2009 and subsequently accepted for NDR. The Senior Editor of New Disease Reports wishes to assure authors that the review process by NDR editors will continue as normal and also that there are plans to develop NDR further as an online journal in order to enhance the publication status of its papers.
