Maydica
is dedicated to publishing high-quality original research, review articles (technical and non), short
communications, and case studies in the field of genetics, genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, chemistry,
physiology, breeding, and agronomy of maize and related species. These species are mainly members of
the Andropogoneae, such as Sorghum, Panicum, Pennisetum, and other relevant
genera. Articles treating similar species that are receiving significant attention by plant researchers as
model species (Brachypodium distachyon) or as an energy crop (Jatropa curcas) are also being
welcomed by Maydica. All editorial decisions are made by the author’s peers. Full documentation of the
data presented, access to all data as well as evidence for the conclusions drawn are requirements for
consideration of publication.
open access publication model
The key request of researchers across the world is unrestricted access to research publications. Open access gives a worldwide
audience larger than that of any subscription-based journal and this will increase the visibility of published work. Starting
with volume 56 (scheduled April 2011), Maydica will be published using an open access publication
model, meaning that all interested readers will be able to freely access the Journal on line, without the need for subscription. With this modification,
the Editors intend to better adapt to the current style of the scientific community addressing the research topics covered by the Maydica journal.
