The journal Herbarium Turcicum is devoted to phylogenetic studies, modern herbarium techniques, computer-based plant identification including machine-learning and data-science-driven methods and morphometric studies, in order to fill the current gap in this type of literature.
The journal's purpose and scope are summarized below:
1. New taxa, synonyms, transfers, revisional studies, typification studies
2. Plant taxa previously deposited in herbaria but not later collected and those preserved in herbaria but endangered in the wild
3. Organizational and digitization activities of herbaria
4. Herbarium stories: new species described from herbarium specimens, scientific work resulting from international collaborations among scientists working in various herbaria,
5. Herbaria and their relationships with other disciplines, such as molecular phylogeny, plant anatomy, forensic biology and graphology studies using herbarium specimens
6. Herbarium pests: modern techniques and methods of control
7. Herbarium curators and their academic lives
8. Interesting and historical collections
9. Live plant collections
10. Historical and ancient place and region names on herbarium labels
11. Invalid names persisting on herbarium labels
12. Monumental trees and their presentation
13. Plants and history
14. Plants in culture and art
15. Stories of plant epithets
16. Ethical rules
17. Herbarium techniques and innovations
18. Fighting pests and physical conditions
19. Herbarium types
20. Archaeobotanical studies and collections
21. Technology and herbaria, machine learning and digital classification studies
