New Disease Reports: Special Notice (May 2011)
NDR's development as a peer-reviewed stand-alone on-line journal with the objective of providing rapid publication of new and unusual reports on plant diseases is now complete. Significant enhancements made include an expanded format (longer manuscript, more references, etc.) and a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for each paper published. A Portable Document Format (.pdf) version of Reports published online is now available for download to give 'print quality' reproduction of published Reports. (Not available for Reports that were published in Plant Pathology). Prospective authors are asked to look out for new information on the 'Submission' page of NDR's website.
