Publications update
Former horticultural reviews, plant breeding reviews content to be published in Crop Science
Beginning this year, content formerly published in Horticultural Reviews and Plant Breeding Reviews will cease publication in book format and will be published in the journal Crop Science.
The two publications, published by Wiley, will merge with Crop Science. Articles will be published under journal table of contents headings of the same name to maintain continuity and will be collated annually into year-end electronic collections (“virtual issues”). All articles will be reviewed using normal Crop Science standards and format. The review articles will be available online immediately after acceptance, and authors will have the option to publish their articles with an open access license.
A new “Technical Editor, Commissioning” position was developed and added to the Crop Science editorial board to manage these commissioned papers. Dr. Irwin Goldman at the Department of Horticulture at the University of Wisconsin–Madison was appointed to the position earlier in 2022. Authors who are interested in submitting a horticultural or plant breeding review may contact Dr. Goldman for further information. Reviews will be accepted on an invitation-only basis. Many thanks are extended to Dr. Ian Warrington, Emeritus Professor at Massey University in New Zealand, for his work on prior volumes of Horticultural Reviews and assistance in the transition of papers to Crop Science.
“I’m excited about the possibilities that our new arrangement will create for our readers and authors,” says Crop Science Editor Dr. Paul Scott.
Look for the first of the Horticultural Reviews and Plant Breeding Reviews articles to be published in Crop Science by the end of 2022. The prior volumes of Horticultural Reviews and Plant Breeding Reviews as well as author and subject indices will be linked from the Crop Science home page (https://acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14350653).
