New publication, one more rule

This week we got an article published in New Forests on phenotyping radiata pine for resin. This is part of the work on very early screening (at age 2 years) of populations for wood properties:

Altaner CM, Gordon AJ, Sharma M and Apiolaza LA. 2024. Phenotyping a Pinus radiata breeding population for resin canal traits. New Forests 56: 18 DOI: 10.1007/s11056-024-10087-1 (PDF).

Some time ago, I wrote about burning money with our Read and Publish open access agreements. I mentioned that we have a quota of articles, first-in, first-served, that are published open access “for free”. Outside this quota, the article is not open access, which is what happened with this article: it was accepted too late in the year. Now we have to add one more rule to our submissions: get the manuscripts accepted, with revisions, before October.

If you want to read the article, have a look in my website under publications.
