Preslia publishes original research papers on plant systematics, phytogeography, ecology and vegetation science of vascular and non-vascular plants, with a geographical focus on Central Europe. Also of interest are critical reviews evaluating progress in particular fields. Papers are published in English.

The paper should consist of title, authors name and address including e-mail, abstract (max. 400 words), keywords and main text (usually consisting of Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion), followed by references, tables, figure captions (on a separate page) and figures. MANUSCRIPTS are submitted electronically as one MS-Word file with text, tables and figure captions and one PDF file with a complete paper including figures at the end of the manuscript. Page layout: 2 cm margins all round, double-spaced, lines numbered separately on each page. For other details on format, authors should consult a recent issue of Preslia.
