Alpine Botany is a Springer journal for plant science studies in mountain regions and the official publication of the Swiss Botanical Society, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 3.9 with a five-year figure of 3.9《高山植物学》是 Springer 出版的一份面向山地植物学研究的刊物，也是瑞士植物学会的官方期刊，2025 年影响因子为 3.9，五年指标同为 3.9。

Scope

• The journal is an international publication that provides a forum for plant science studies across elevation, with links to fungal and microbial ecology and to the vegetation and flora of mountain regions worldwide该刊是一份国际刊物，为不同海拔的植物科学研究提供讨论空间，并与真菌及微生物生态学以及世界各地山地区域的植被与植物区系相衔接。

• It publishes original contributions and reviews on biogeography, biosystematics, evolutionary biology, population biology, ecophysiology, the functional ecology of vegetation, flora and symbiotic associations, and it also welcomes studies on fungi, mosses and lichens and on plant-animal interactions刊物刊发关于生物地理学、分类与系统生物学、演化生物学、种群生物学、生态生理学、植被功能生态学、植物区系以及共生关系的原创论文与综述，也接收关于真菌、苔藓与地衣的研究以及植物与动物相互作用的研究。

• The stated aim is to attract contributions that explore plant biological phenomena in order to understand the ecological, evolutionary or physiological processes that are functionally ongoing in mountainous regions刊物设定的目标是吸引能够探讨植物生物学现象的稿件，借此理解山地地区仍在有效运行的生态、演化或生理过程。

• Descriptive or applied studies are acceptable provided that clear research questions are addressed and that the findings are presented in a context fitting the scope of the journal, and articles must be relevant for an international readership描述性研究或应用型研究同样可以接受，前提是研究问题明确、结论放在契合刊物范围的语境中陈述，文章也需要对国际读者具有价值。

• The journal is published by Springer International Publishing AG in Basel, and it is the official publication of the Swiss Botanical Society, with the articles appearing in English, French and German该刊由巴塞尔的 Springer International Publishing AG 出版，是瑞士植物学会的官方刊物，文章以英文、法文与德文发表。

History

• The first issue was published in 1891, and the Alpine Botany title itself began with volume 121 number 1 in April 2011, which the National Library of Medicine records as the starting point of the current run under the imprint of Springer-Basel AG in Basel该刊的第一期出版于 1891 年，而「高山植物学」这一刊名本身则从 2011 年 4 月的第 121 卷第 1 期开始使用，美国国家医学图书馆的目录把这一现行卷期的起点记在巴塞尔的 Springer-Basel AG 名下。

• It appears twice a year with issues dated April and October, and the current volumes keep that rhythm, with volume 135 carrying issues in May and October 2025 and volume 136 number 1 appearing in May 2026, while the National Library of Medicine records two issues a year该刊每年出版两期，期次分别标为 4 月与 10 月，当前的各卷仍保持这一节奏，第 135 卷含 2025 年 5 月与 10 月两期，第 136 卷第 1 期于 2026 年 5 月出版，美国国家医学图书馆的条目同样记为每年两期。

• The publishing model is hybrid, and 65.31 per cent of the articles counted for the 2025 report were available in gold open access, with 91 open access articles listed on the publisher's site该刊采用混合出版模式，2025 年统计的文章中有 65.31% 以金色开放获取方式提供，出版方站点上列出的开放获取文章有 91 篇。

• The 2025 Journal Citation Reports places the journal 69th of 285 titles in plant sciences with a first quartile position and a percentile of 76.0, and the figures sit beside an impact factor of 3.9, a five-year figure of 3.9 and a score without self-citations of 3.4, with a cited half-life of 6.8 years《期刊引证报告》2025 年将该刊在植物科学类目中列为第 69 名（共 285 种），落在第一区，百分位为 76.0，与之并列的还有影响因子 3.9、五年指标 3.9 与去自引后的 3.4，被引半衰期为 6.8 年。

• The publisher's own metrics give a median of three days from submission to a first decision and 116.3 thousand downloads in 2025, and the list of abstracting and indexing services includes Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, AGRICOLA, BIOSIS, Biological Abstracts, CAB Abstracts, Current Contents for Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences, Dimensions, GEOBASE and Google Scholar, while the National Library of Medicine holds no indexing source record for the journal and PubMed returns only nine records出版方给出的中位投稿至首次决定时长为 3 天，2025 年下载量为 11.63 万次，其自列的摘要与索引服务包括科学引文索引扩展版、Scopus、AGRICOLA、BIOSIS、《生物学摘要》、CAB 摘要、《农业生物学与环境科学》现刊目录、Dimensions、GEOBASE 与 Google Scholar，美国国家医学图书馆则没有为该刊建立索引来源记录，PubMed 只检索到 9 条。
