Instructions for authors
WEED TECHNOLOGY
Scope of Journal
Weed Technology is an online peer-reviewed journal. Articles will be considered that address the management of weeds in agricultural, forestry, aquatic, turf, recreational, rights-of-way, and other settings; design, efficacy, and impact of weed control tools; technology for integrated weed management; scholarship in education, extension, and outreach methods and resources; technology and product reports; and regulatory affairs. Consult the Editor for additional information.
Types of Articles
Manuscripts must contain original material constituting logical units of subject matter and must contribute to the advancement of knowledge. Acceptance is made with the understanding that the substance of the manuscript has not been and will not be published elsewhere other than as an abstract, a thesis or dissertation, or as a preliminary report to growers or cooperators. Experimental results should be confirmed by appropriate replication in time or space. Progress reports, non-replicated experiments, and simple observational information are not acceptable. Visual estimates of percentage weed control and of crop injury are acceptable when supported by objective measurements of response.
a. Research and Education. Original articles describing research, teaching, extension, industry, consulting, regulation, surveys, and equipment are encouraged. Research articles and nontraditional reports such as surveys and new educational programs from extension and teaching are welcomed.
b. Notes. Notes are short original articles on topics that do not meet the criteria for Research or Education papers, such as descriptions of newly discovered weeds, new research methods or equipment, and some surveys. Articles determined by the Editor to be limited in content and scope, but that make unique contributions, may also be published as Notes rather than full papers.
c. Invited Reviews. Weed Technology also welcomes review articles that synthesize current information and appeal to a broad audience. Authors should contact the editor to discuss the proposed article. Once received by the journal Editor, the article will be reviewed and edited as a regular submission.
d. Symposium Papers.
Proceedings of WSSA and other symposia may be published in Weed Technology, normally within one year of the symposium. Symposium organizers should contact the Editor within one month after the symposium to discuss a timeframe for manuscript submission and the expected number of papers. Symposium authors must submit manuscripts promptly for review to allow publication by a predetermined date. Unless an exception has been approved by the WSSA Board of Directors, normal page charges apply to symposium papers and these publication costs should be included in the symposium budget approved by WSSA. An Associate Editor will be assigned to work with the authors on paper submittal.
Authorship
All individuals listed as author or co-authors must meet the following criteria:
1. They made substantial contributions to the conception and design of experiments; acquisition of data, and/or analysis and interpretation of the data.
2. They drafted the article and/or revised it critically for important intellectual content.
3. They approved the final version of the article to be published.
Contributions by individuals who do not meet all the above criteria for authorship should be recognized in the Acknowledgments section. The corresponding author must confirm that the author list is complete, that all co-authors have agreed to be included in the author list, and that all co-authors have read and agreed to submit the manuscript.
ORCID
Weed Technology now requires that all corresponding authors identify themselves using their ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript to the journal. ORCID is a unique identifier for researchers that increases the discoverability of your publications and provides a place to store and share validated information about your research activities. If you do not already have an ORCID iD, you can register for one directly from your user account on Editorial Manager or via https://orcid.org/registerhttps://ORCID.org/register. Please provide this iD when submitting a manuscript, either by linking it to your Editorial Manager account or supplying it during submission by using the “Link to ORCID record” button.
Publication Charges
Authors are asked to pay a portion of publication costs. These costs for Weed Technology are currently $80 for the first composed page and $65 per additional page, plus an additional processing charge of $55 per manuscript if none of the authors are WSSA members. Exceptions can be made by the Editor but must be requested when the manuscript is first submitted. There is no additional charge for publishing color figures or images included in the manuscript.
Author Publication Agreement
The policy of Weed Technology is that authors (or in some cases their employers) retain copyright and grant the WSSA a licence to publish their work. In the case of gold open access articles this is a non-exclusive licence. Authors must complete and return an author publishing agreement form as soon as their article has been accepted for publication; the journal is unable to publish the article without this. Please download the appropriate publishing agreement here.
For open access articles, the form also sets out the Creative Commons licence under which the article is made available to end users: a fundamental principle of open access is that content should not simply be accessible but should also be freely re-usable. Articles will be published under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY) by default. This means that the article is freely available to read, copy and redistribute, and can also be adapted (users can “remix, transform, and build upon” the work) for any commercial or non-commercial purpose, as long as proper attribution is given. Authors can, in the publishing agreement form, choose a different kind of Creative Commons license (including those prohibiting non-commercial and derivative use) if they prefer.
Open Access
Charges to make articles open access are $2,000 for authors who are members of the Weed Science Society of America and $2,500 for non-members. Open Access Weed Technology journal articles are made freely available in perpetuity on Cambridge Core (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/weed-technology)and on BioOne (www.bioone.org). Authors who opt for open access do not pay regular page charges.
Manuscript Submission
Manuscript submissions to Weed Technology should be uploaded at https://www.editorialmanager.com/wt/. For information on formatting figures and other image files for submission, see https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/authors/journals/journals-artwork-guide. Weed Technology now publishes Accepted Manuscripts (AM) online 3-5 days after acceptance, allowing authors to make their work available to read and cite much more quickly. When submitting manuscripts (particularly upon revision), include the manuscript, tables, and figures all merged into a single Word file (do not include any Supplementary files). In the event of acceptance, this file will be posted as an Accepted Manuscript on Cambridge Core prior to FirstView publication. Please make sure the manuscript is formatted exactly as it should appear in the AM version. The Accepted Manuscript will eventually be replaced with the final copy-edited and typeset Version of Record. Authors wishing to opt out of Accepted Manuscript publication must contact the Editorial Office (wssa@cambridge.org) before acceptance or no later than 24 hours after acceptance.
Manuscript Review
All manuscripts submitted to Weed Technology are screened for plagiarized content using iThenticate software and are reviewed for suitability by the journal Editor before being assigned to an Associate Editor. The Associate Editor coordinates review of the manuscript for content and presentation by two or more anonymous reviewers, and communicates with the corresponding author concerning manuscript revisions. Final acceptance or rejection is the prerogative of the Editor.
Manuscript Style
For a detailed guide, see Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, 8th ed., Council of Science Editors (2014) http://www.scientificstyleandformat.org.
See also published articles in recent issues of Weed Technology as guides to proper style.
Manuscript Format
Double-space everything, including pages with tables, figure legends, footnotes, and literature citations. Include line numbers in your manuscript: lines should be numbered consecutively throughout the entire document. Indent paragraphs.
Manuscript Order
Manuscripts should be in the following order: Short title for running footer, Title (no separate title page), Author(s), Abstract, Nomenclature, Key Words, Introduction (begin on a new page), Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgments, References (begin on a new page), Tables (begin on a new page), Figure Legends (begin on a new page), and Figures.
Title
The title page includes a short title for the running header that is not to exceed 30 characters and spaces. The full title should be no more than 200 characters and spaces, centered, in bold, sentence case, and should include words useful in computer searches. Give scientific names in full (without authority) in the title, with genera and species names italicized. Use only the common name of crops. Use only common name or code numbers of herbicides.
Authors
Place the names of the authors—with first initials only capitalized, and with “and” before the last author—centered two lines below the title, Provide the full name of each author (first, middle initial [optional], and last) and include a numbered superscript for each author. In the footnote, give the affiliation(s) of the authors and full institutional job titles at the time the study was conducted, followed by the institutional address(es). Spell out names of institutions in full. Inclusion of current addresses (if different) is optional, and they should be listed at the end. Addresses of U.S. authors should include the two-letter postal abbreviation for the state and the ZIP code. E-mail and full mailing address of the corresponding author should be included. We require all corresponding authors to identify themselves using ORCID when submitting a manuscript to the journal. Please visit this page for more information and to register. ORCID identifiers are encouraged for all coauthors, and should be included parenthetically after the job title.

Abstract
Place the abstract on the same page as the title and authors. The text of the abstract should not exceed 300 words. It must be written as a single paragraph and should provide an objective and informative digest of the significant content of the paper, not simply a description of the contents. Representative quantitative data from the results often make the abstract more informative. Use only common names in the body of the abstract for herbicides, plants, animals, and microorganisms. Do not include tables, graphs, long lists of names, references to literature, or footnotes. At the first mention of the herbicide rate, express the rate either on the acid equivalent (ae) basis or active ingredient (ai) basis. Omit trade names for herbicides, other pesticides, and surfactants or other adjuvants in the abstract.
Nomenclature
Immediately after the abstract, type “Nomenclature” followed by a colon and use boldface type. Then repeat each common name appearing in the title and abstract. Only include weeds and crops in the Nomenclature that are mentioned in the Abstract. For herbicides, use ISO-approved common names or other designations. Give full chemical names for herbicides, other pesticides, or safeners that have no ISO-approved common names. For plants use the common name followed by the Latin binomial and classifier; Bayer codes may be included for weeds, but are not required. For other organisms, use the common name followed by the binomial and the authority. The preferred order is herbicides, weeds, and crops, alphabetized within each group.
Example: Nomenclature: Glyphosate; 2,4-D; cheat, Bromus secalinus L. BROSE; wild oat, Avena fatua L. AVEFA; corn, Zea mays L. Note the use of commas and semicolons. A database of approved common and Latin names of weed species can be found at https://plants.usda.gov/. Use the most widely recognized common name. A list of ISO-approved common and chemical names of herbicides is available at the Compendium of Common Pesticide Names: (http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/index.html).
Key Words
Immediately after the nomenclature, list words, word pairs, or phrases (usually not more than five words) not included in the title or nomenclature that further describe the content of the manuscript. List only specific words or phrases that will be useful in indexes and literature database searches. Synonyms for common names and Latin binomials are optional. If provided, they should be placed in the keyword section. See www.theplantlist.org for an authoritative list of synonyms.
