EXERCISES

1. Examine several of the botanical journals listed above. For each of the ones selected by your instructor: (a) record the general types of papers for which it specializes by reading the journal’s mission and by perusing the index or web site (above); (b) cite one specific article (of interest to you) that deals with plant systematics (not other fields such as physiology or ecology). For the latter, copy the citation format used in that particular journal.

2. Of the plant systematics articles that you recorded above, select the one of greatest interest to you and make a photocopy of it. Read the abstract of this article thoroughly. Then look over all the figures and tables. Next, skim through the introduction, materials and methods, and discussion/conclusion. Be prepared to give a 5-minute oral presentation (with projected tables, figures, or illustrations) on this article.

3. Write the author(s) in charge of reprints for the above and request a reprint to be mailed to you. (Note: It’s best to choose a recent article for this, as reprints may not be available for older ones.) Some reprints are now available electronically, usually as .pdf files. Hand this in to your instructor when it arrives.

4. Search the International Plant Names Index (http://www.ipni.org/index.html). Find and record the full citation (including author, journal, date, etc.) of any one of the species that were studied in the article you chose for discussion.

5. Optional: Do a literature search on a particular item in plant systematics. It may be of taxon or topic. (Note: Consult your library as to how to access literature databases; also try http://www.scholar.google.com for general scientific literature.)
