In her editorial, Saijaliisa Kangasjärvi explains that a group of Early-Career Principal Investigators (ECPI) from the Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society (SPPS) established a network of next generation scientists to ensure the continuity of excellent plant sciences in the Nordic region. She also wrote that “the main scientific objectives of SPPS-ECPI

It is a fact that without all the reviewers, who have spent hours thinking and reflecting over manuscripts, our journal would not exist. This is how peer-to-peer review works, trying to maintain scientific integrity by filtering and validating each other’s efforts. Therefore, we owe a BIG THANKS to all reviewers

During the latter part of the 19th century, the experimental sciences were dominated by Germany. In 1946, Professor Hans Burström at the Botanical Laboratory in Lund sent letters to plant physiologists in the Nordic countries to explore interest in forming a Scandinavian society for plant physiology (SPPS). The aim of
