Author Guidelines
1. SUBMISSION
Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
Free format submission
Weed Biology and Management now offers free format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.
The journal no longer has strict formatting requirements for your FIRST submission as far as all required parts established in “6. PREPARING THE MANUSCRIPT” are contained in your manuscript. But If your manuscript is difficult to read, the editorial office may send it back to you for revision.
If you are invited to revise your manuscript after peer review, the journal will also request the revised manuscript to be formatted according to journal requirements as described in “6. PREPARING THE MANUSCRIPT” and “7. SUBMISSION FORMAT”.
To submit, login at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/wbm and create a new submission. Follow the submission steps as required and submit the manuscript. Click here for more details on how to use ScholarOne.
ORCID. As part of our commitment to supporting authors at every step of the publishing process, the journal requires the submitting author (only) to provide an ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. This takes around 2 minutes to complete. Click here for more information about ORCID.
For authors unable to submit their manuscript online, please consult the Editor-in-Chief at the Editorial Office address wbmeditor@wssj.jp
2. AIMS AND SCOPE

The journal accepts contributions in the form of research paper, technical report and review in all aspects of weed science. The content of the contributions may relate to weed taxonomy, ecology and physiology, weed management and control methodologies, herbicide behaviors in plants, soils and environment, utilization of weeds and other aspects of weed science.

3. EDITORIAL AND CONTENT CONSIDERATIONS
Editorial Review and Acceptance
Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are single-blind peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and the Editor. Submission to the journal implies that the article has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board and the Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any material for publication. Invited Articles may also be accepted, on occasion, at the request of the Editorial Board.
Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor or the Publisher reserves the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader.
Data Sharing and Data Accessibility
The journal encourages authors to share the data and other artefacts supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. Authors should include a data accessibility statement, including a link to the repository they have used, in order that this statement can be published alongside their paper.
Publication Ethics
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Note this journal uses iThenticate’s CrossCheck software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Read Wiley'sTop 10 Publishing Ethics Tips for Authors here. Wiley’s Publication Ethics Guidelines can be found here.
4. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Research Papers and Technical Reports should not exceed 8 typeset pages (approximately 5000 words), inclusive of the title page, tables and figures.
Reviews should not exceed 10 typeset pages, inclusive of the title page, tables and figures.
Papers exceeding the article type page length will be charged an excess pages fee (see 8. PAGE CHARGES).

6. PREPARING THE MANUSCRIPT
Manuscript Format and Style
Spelling. The journal uses US English and spelling should therefore follow the latest edition of Merriam–Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
Scientific names. Upon its first use in the title, abstract and text, the common name of a weed should be followed by the scientific name (genus, species and authority) in parentheses. For well-known species, however, the scientific name may be omitted from the article title. If no common name exists in English, the scientific name should be used only. Genus, species, and infraspecific names should be in italics. At the first mention of a herbicide or other chemical substance, give its generic name only. Trade names should not be used.
Units of Measurement. Please use SI units wherever possible, as outlined in Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Medical and Scientific Editors and Authors, 5th edn (ed. by Baron D.N.), Royal Society of Medicine Press, London, 1994. Herbicide rates should be expressed in terms of the active ingredient, but where this is not possible, express units in terms of formulated product.
Abbreviations should be used sparingly and only where they ease the reader’s task by reducing the repetition of long, technical terms. On first use in the abstract and text, use the word in full (followed by the abbreviation in parentheses) and thereafter use the abbreviation. Abbreviations should not be used in the title.
Parts of the Manuscript
Manuscripts should contain following parts and be presented in this order:
(i) title page;
(ii) abstract and keywords;
(iii) text;
(iv) acknowledgments;
(v) disclosure statement;
(vi) references;
(vii) figure legends; and
(viii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes).
Figures and supporting information should be supplied as separate files. Footnotes to the text are not allowed and any such material should be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter.
Title page
The title page should contain:
(i) the category of article;
(ii) a short, informative title that contains the major keywords;
(iii) the full names of the authors with family name last;
(iv) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out;
(v) the full postal address, telephone number and email address of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript, proofs and requests for offprints should be sent.
For useful tips how to write the title of the paper and the abstract for maximizing the readership, please refer to "Optimizing Your Article for Search Engines" included in 5. AUTHOR RESOURCES: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START WRITING A MANUSCRIPT”.
