dern Phytomorphology has a hybrid stream publishing scheme, which means that papers are publishing on-line as soon as they are processed, while the hard version of the journal is printed just once per year and includes all papers of the current year. On-line papers are not “early view papers” or “pre-prints”, but final versions which include continuous page numeration of current volume. The date of first appear on-line should be considered as a date of first publishing, which is also indicated in the paper. Modern Phytomorphology is especially focused on anatomical, morphological, physiological and related taxonomical investigations of plants and fungi in wide sense. But it also accepts research results from other fields of botany, e.g. phytogeography, vegetation and phytosozology. Some, but not all of journal issues are closely related to the International conference on plant morphology and include both full-text articles and short abstracts or communications represented on these conferences. Journal prefers manuscripts written in English, but also accepts papers in Russian and Ukrainian.
