Willdenowia是一份國際同行評審的期刊，以英文發表植物、藻類和真菌系統學領域的原始研究論文，涵蓋了這些生物的進化、分類和命名，以及相關領域，如植物區系和植物地理學。系統發育和分子系統學方面的論文尤其受歡迎，綜述性論文也很受歡迎。當有可靠的證據支持時，考慮對新分類群的描述。植物區系注釋一般不被考慮，除非作為歐洲+醫學檢查清單Notulae系列的貢獻。鼓勵作者將他們的材料，特別是命名自然類型的憑證存放在柏林植物標本室(B)。每年4月、8月和12月出版三期，分別為開放獲取網絡版和印刷版。個別論文通常會先在網上版的現正出版的刊物內發表，即最后定稿(紀錄版)，加上最后的頁碼，然后才會在四月、八月或十二月份的刊物內刊登。作者無需支付開放存取費用。文章長度不限。

Willdenowia is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research papers in English from the entire fields of plant, algal and fungal systematics, covering the evolution, taxonomy and nomenclature of these organisms as well as related fields such as floristics and plant geography. Papers on phylogeny and molecular systematics are especially welcome, as are review papers. Descriptions of new taxa are considered when supported by robust evidence. Floristic notes are generally not considered, except as contributions to the Euro+Med-Checklist Notulae series. Authors are encouraged to deposit vouchers of their material, especially nomenclatural types, at the Berlin herbarium (B).Three issues appear each year, in April, August and December, in an open-access online edition and a print edition. Individual papers are normally published first in an issue in progress in the online edition, i.e. as the final version (the version of record), with final pagination, ahead of inclusion in the April, August or December issues. No open-access fees are payable by authors. The length of articles is not limited.
