2017 Top Journals in Plant Science Ranked by h5-index

Date: 2017-09-13

To help researchers and publishers learn more about open access (OA) journals, the team of Open Access Library released the latest version of rankings for open access journals in August 2017. The basic benchmark used in the OA journals rankings is the h5-index from Google Scholar Metrics (June 2017). We can view a journal’s ranking by selecting proper research keywords or typing the title/specific research area in the search box directly.


The h5-index for the journal American Journal of Plant Sciences published by SCIRP is 22, ranked 7th in the top open access journals matching Plant Science.
