《園藝科學》是一本與園藝作物相關的國際期刊。該雜志的文章涉及在溫帶、亞熱帶和熱帶條件下開放或保護蔬菜、水果、食用菌和觀賞植物的生產。有關領域(生物化學、微繁、土壤科學、植物育種、植物生理學、植物病理學等)的論文，如載有對園藝有直接意義的資料，可獲考慮。有關園藝技術方面(工程、作物加工、儲存、運輸等)的論文，只有在與生活產品直接有關時才可發表。在種植作物的情況下，將考慮生產可使用新鮮產品的作物(例如熱帶蔬菜、柑橘、香蕉和其他水果)，而描述產品加工過程的論文(例如橡膠、煙草和奎寧)將不考慮。該雜志的范圍包括所有園藝作物，但不包括特殊作物，如藥用作物或林業作物，如竹子。沒有任何直接應用于園藝的基礎分子研究將不會被考慮在這本雜志上。類型的紙:1. 正式論文正本(普通論文)2. 評論文章(應涵蓋當前感興趣的部分主題)3.簡短的溝通- 3.1重要研究的初步結果報告(試驗研究:例如沒有重復或有其他限制)- 3.2新開發的方法或對現有方法的修改，可能包括首次測試的描述。- 3.3在國際讀者感興趣的其他作物或在不同條件下(事實發現或配方)應用較早發表的研究方法的結果。應該包括新的科學見解。4. 書評(包括不超過2年的相關書籍)。原始論文應報告原始研究的結果，并應具有國際而不只是區域利益。除初步形式外，這些材料不應在其他地方發表。評審應涵蓋當前感興趣的主題的一部分。他們可能被提交或邀請。簡短的交流應作為一份正式文件，通過參考文獻和對所采用的實驗程序的描述，將其完整地記錄下來。印刷頁數不超過4頁(含圖等8頁左右)。

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.Types of paper:1. Original full papers (regular papers)2. Review articles (should cover a part of the subject of active current interest)3. Short Communications- 3.1 Report of preliminary results of important research (pilot investigation: e.g. no duplications or with other restrictions)- 3.2 Newly developed methodology or modification of existing methodology, possibly description of first test.- 3.3 Results of the application of an earlier published research methodology on other crops or under different conditions (fact finding or recipes) that are nevertheless of interest to an international readership. Should include new scientific insight.4. Book Reviews (included in the journal on a range of relevant books which are not more than 2 years old).Original papers should report the results of original research and should be of international and not only regional interest. The material should not have been previously published elsewhere, except in a preliminary form. Reviews should cover a part of the subject active current interest. They may be submitted or invited.Short Communications should be as completely documented, both by reference to the literature and description of the experimental procedures employed, as a regular paper. They should not occupy more than 4 printed pages (about 8 manuscript pages, including figures, etc.).
