Objectives

The main objectives of New Disease Reports are (i) to provide a mechanism for rapid on-line reporting of outbreaks of plant pathogens on a global scale, (ii) to provide a repository for observations of the sort important to diagnosticians, field advisers, researchers and plant health policy makers; and (iii) to encourage succinct condensed reporting of disease observations.

New Disease Reports welcomes submissions on all types of plant pathogens including:

Fungi
Bacteria
Nematodes
Phytoplasmas
Viruses and viroids

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.

For further infomation about the Scope of New Disease Reports and its editorial policy, please see Information for authors.
