Aims and Scope

Scientia Horticulturae is an international journal publishing research related to horticultural crops. Articles in the journal deal with open or protected production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi and ornamentals under temperate, subtropical and tropical conditions. Papers in related areas (biochemistry, micropropagation, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, phytopathology, etc.) are considered, if they contain information of direct significance to horticulture. Papers on the technical aspects of horticulture (engineering, crop processing, storage, transport etc.) are accepted for publication only if they relate directly to the living product. In the case of plantation crops, those yielding a product that may be used fresh (e.g. tropical vegetables, citrus, bananas, and other fruits) will be considered, while those papers describing the processing of the product (e.g. rubber, tobacco, and quinine) will not. The scope of the journal includes all horticultural crops but does not include speciality crops such as, medicinal crops or forestry crops, such as bamboo. Basic molecular studies without any direct application in horticulture will not be considered for this journal.

The first review process takes about 50 days. If revisions are not completed within the deadline, it is necessary to send an email explaining the reasons. The second review process takes about one week.

Note: (1) The editor should reply to emails promptly; (2) It is essential to respond to the reviewers' comments point by point. Especially for difficult comments from junior colleagues, both modifications made and not made (providing supporting evidence) should be addressed. According to the second review comment "The authors have significantly improved the quality of the manuscript by making all the suggested modifications," it was sent back to the previous reviewer, and the result was also satisfactory to them.

I don't know how to evaluate this journal. Three years ago, I submitted an article and received harsh criticism from three reviewers, leading to its rejection. At that time, I thought this journal was quite serious and responsible. Three years later, towards the end of last year and the beginning of this year, after submitting again, two reviewers had no major objections and agreed to publish it. The combined opinions of the two reviewers were probably just four points, and surprisingly, they were in agreement. However, a significant reason for this smooth process is that the previous submission of this paper was rejected by a top-tier journal, so downgrading to submit it to this journal went smoothly.

I wish everyone a smooth submission process!
