PAPER LENGTH GUIDELINES FOR @ThePlantJournal
because I know people rarely read the author guidelines!
spoiler: they can be longer or shorter than you might think!
(thread 1/5)
2/5
This is all verbatim from the author guidelines on our website:

TPJ has no formal word limits but expects manuscripts to be concise, with the length being the minimum required to adequately describe and discuss the results of the study.
3/5
Typically, papers are between 7000 and 9000 words with 3 - 7 figures and tables in the main body of the paper. Longer or shorter papers will be considered.
4/5
For example, the complexity of large datasets in Resource Articles may necessitate more figures and tables and more text to properly convey the work.
5/5
Alternatively, shorter studies with fewer figures and tables may still represent a sufficiently important advancement of the field as to warrant publication in TPJ.
