About the journal
Crop Science, published bimonthly, is the official publication of the Crop Science Society of America. The publication is prepared by an editorial board consisting of an editor and editor-in-chief, technical editors, associate editors, a managing editor, the executive vice president, and the vice president-management and operations. Technical editors handle manuscripts in crop genetics, breeding cytology, and statistics; crop physiology and metabolism; and ecology, production, seed and turf science, and utilization.
Crop Science publishes original research in crop breeding, genetics, and cytology; crop physiology and metabolism; crop ecology, production, and management; seed physiology, production, and technology; turfgrass science; crop ecology, management, and quality; genomics, molecular genetics, and biotechnology; plant genetics resources; and pest management. Submit your Crop Science manuscript---regular research articles and Notes---as a PDF file at http:/www.manuscripttracker.com/cs/. Detailed instructions for creating and uploading PDF files can be found at this site, along with instructions related to logging on to the Crop Science Manuscripttracker system. Alternatively, authors may send four complete printed copies directly to the editor whose area of specialty is most relevant to the subject of the paper; editor addresses and areas of specialty can be found above and at http://crop.scijournals.org/misc/edboard.shtml. Critical reviews and "perspectives" papers may also be published and are submitted directly to the editor of the journal.
Cultivar, germplasm, parental line, and genetic stock registration are published after review by a crop registration committee. Authors should submit registrations to the crop registration subcommittee member for the specific crop or to the crop registration committee chair. Their names and addresses are also listed in the masthead of each issue. For submission of Registration articles, see Suggestions to Contributors to Crop Science: Crop Registration Manuscripts, published periodically in the journal or at http://crop.scijournals.org/misc/cropregsuggestions.shtml.
All papers, whether invited or volunteered, are subject to review. Additional details on requirements for articles are available on this area of the web site. Appeals of decision by the editorial board are handled by the editor.
Instructions to Authors
Instructions to Authors of Manuscripts for Crop Science (2003)
General Requirements
Full papers must be either reports of original research or critical
reviews or interpretive articles. The journal also publishes Crop
Registration papers, Notes, and Letters to the Editor. Submissions to
Crop Science must not be previously published in or simultaneously
submitted to any other scientific or technical journal. For the policy
regarding publishing in nontechnical outlets, see Publications Handbook
and Style Manual (ASA–CSSA–SSSA, 1998; http://www.asacssa-
sssa.org/style98/).
Scope
Crop Science is the normal channel for publication of papers in
plant genetics; breeding; cytology; metabolism; physiology; ecology;
turfgrass; weed science; crop quality, production, and utilization; cell
biology and molecular genetics; and plant genetic resources.
Articles reporting experimentation or research in field crops or
reviews or interpretation of such research will be accepted for review
as papers. Short articles concerned with experimental techniques, apparatus,
or observation of unique phenomena will be accepted for review
as Notes. Reports on new cultivars, elite germplasms, parental
lines, genetic stocks, and mapping populations will be accepted for
review as Crop Registration papers. Letters to the Editor are welcomed
and are published subject to review and approval of the editor.
When letters concern previous articles, the authors will be invited
to reply; letter and reply are published together.
Submission Procedures and Preparation
Registrations. Cultivar, elite germplasm, parental line, genetic
stock, and mapping populations registrations are published after review
by the Crop Registration Committee. Submit Crop Registration
manuscripts to the appropriate Crop Registration Committee subcommittee
chair (or to the Crop Registration Committee Chair, if no
subcommittee seems to fit). Addresses are listed in the masthead of
each issue of the journal and at http://crop.scijournals.org/misc/registration.
shtml.
See also “Suggestions to Contributors to Crop Science: Crop
Registration Manuscripts?printed periodically in this journal.
Full-length manuscripts and reviews. Original research articles,
Review and Interpretation papers, Short Communications, Letters to
the Editor, and invited book reviews should be submitted as PDF files
at http://www.manuscripttracker.com/cs/. Detailed instructions for
creating and uploading PDF files can be found at this site, along with
instructions related to logging on to the Crop Science Manuscript
Tracker system. Alternatively, authors may send four complete
printed copies directly to the editor whose area of specialty is most
relevant to the subject of the paper; editor addresses and areas of specialty
can be found in the masthead of each issue and at
http://crop.scijournals.org/misc/edboard.shtml. Submit Review and
Interpretation articles to the editor of the journal.
Creating manuscript files. Authors should keep in mind the following
when preparing manuscript files. All accepted manuscript
files will be edited on-screen in Microsoft Word format. Therefore,
we strongly prefer that files be composed originally in or converted
to Microsoft Word. Other formats are also acceptable, but be aware
that errors are occasionally introduced during conversion from one
format to another. Authors should avoid using word processing features
such as automated bulleting and numbering, head and subhead
formatting, internal linking, or styles. Do not use more than one font
or font size.
The file should be double spaced and line numbered, with at least
2.5-cm margins.
Crop Science periodically publishes color illustrations, generally
in the May–June and November–December issues.
Organization. On the first page, give the title, a byline with the
names of all authors, an author–paper documentation footnote, a list
of all nonstandard abbreviations used in the paper, and any other necessary
footnotes.
An abstract is required and is normally the second manuscript
page.
After the title page and abstract, the usual order of sections is an
untitled introduction (which includes the literature review), Materials
and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions (optional), Acknowledgments
(optional), and References, followed by any figure
captions and the tables. Figures are the final pages. Results and Discussion
may be combined and conclusions can be given at the close
of the Discussion section. Start each section (including figure captions
and tables) on a new page and number all pages, beginning with
the title page.
Title and byline. A title gives the reader a clear idea of what the
article is about; it should be brief and informative. Use common
names for crops and avoid abbreviations. The usual limit for titles is
10 to 12 words (not counting “and,?“of,?and similar conjunctions
and prepositions). Titles in a numbered series of articles may be
longer.
Below the title, list the names of all authors. Place an asterisk after
the name of the corresponding author (i.e., the person from whom
reprints are to be requested).
Author–paper documentation. The author–paper documentation
is a single paragraph. The first sentence lists the authors (without
professional titles) and their complete current addresses. If a paper
has only one author, or if all authors are from the same department
and institution, omit the names (i.e., give the address only). For the
corresponding author, provide an address that will be current during
the first year or two after publication.
The second sentence lists institutional sponsors, with the institutional
article number of similar contribution acknowledgment. Add
such an acknowledgment if an author has moved and using the current
address leaves no other mention of the involvement of the former
institution. Other information such as granting, funding, or dissertation
status may follow.
End the author-paper documentation paragraph with these two
statements: “Received _______________. *Corresponding author (email).?BR>The date received will be filled in by an editor.
Abbreviations. Use abbreviations sparingly, and try to use standard
abbreviations. The CBE style manual (CBE, 1994) has an extensive
list of internationally accepted abbreviations in biology and
biochemistry. Prepare a list in alphabetical order of abbreviations used
in your article. Do not include SI units, chemical abbreviations, or
most common abbreviations such as those listed in the style manual
(ASA–CSSA–SSSA, 1998, Table 2?).
Footnotes. Footnotes are discouraged in text, but may be used
when needed (typically for a product disclaimer). Number any footnotes
consecutively.
Executive summary. Not required, but recommended, executive
summaries should be brief (four or five sentences, with a 100-word
limit). Summaries should include (i) a statement of the problem addressed,
(ii) approach used in experiments, (iii) key results, and (iv)
impact of findings. Summaries are published each issue in “This Issue
in Crop Science.?BR>Abstract. Abstracts are a single self-contained paragraph of no
more than 250 words (1250 characters) for papers or 150 words (750
characters) for Notes. Abstracts should contain the rationale, objectives,
methods, results, and their meaning or scope of application. Be
specific. Identify the crops or organisms involved, the soil type,
chemicals, and other details that are pertinent to the results. Do not
cite references.
Nomenclature and identification of materials. Give the complete
binomial and authorities at first mention (in Abstract or text)
of plants, pathogens, and insects or pests.
Units of measure. The SI system (Système International de
Unités) is required in Crop Science. Other units may be indicated in
parentheses after the SI unit if this helps understanding or is needed
for replication of the work. See ASA–CSSA–SSSA (1998, Ch. 7).
References. The author–year notation system is required; do not
use numbered notation. In the list, arrange references alphabetically
by author. All single-author entries precede multiple-author entries
for the same first author. Use chronological order only within entries
with identical authorship (alphabetizing by title for same-author,
same-year entries). Add a lowercase letter a, b, c, etc. to the year to
identify same-year entries for text citation. Do this also for any multiple-
author entries that would otherwise result in identical citations
in the text.
The style manual (ASA–CSSA–SSSA, 1998) and past issues of
Crop Science provide examples. See other useful references in the
following list (e.g., CBE, 1994).
Figures. Photographs should be glossy prints with good contrast
of dark and light. Submit one complete set with each manuscript copy.
Prepare drawings for graphs and charts either by computer and laser
printer or with ink on heavy white drawing paper. Typewritten matter
is not acceptable on graphs and charts. Give careful attention to
the darkness and width of lines and size and clarity of type and symbols.
Whenever possible, use illustrations that can be reduced to one
or two columns in width. A good size for a drawing is twice that of
the published figure. To check legibility after reduction, make a trial
reduction on an office copying machine. Photographs lose clarity
when reduced and should be submitted as close as possible to final
size.
A figure caption should be brief, but sufficiently detailed to tell
its own story. Specify the crop or soil involved, the major variables
presented, and the place and year. Identify curves or symbols in a legend
within the figure itself, not in the caption. Define abbreviations
in the caption. Define symbols used in the caption or in the legend.
Be sure to indicate the scale for micrographs, either in the illustration
or the caption.
Tables. Tables are used for reporting extensive numerical data in
an organized manner. They should be self-explanatory. It is seldom
necessary to use a table for fewer than eight items of data. Number
tables consecutively. Table heads should be brief but complete and
self-contained. Define all variables and spell out all abbreviations.
The *, **, and *** are always used in this order to show statistical
significance at the 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 probability levels, respectively,
and cannot be used for other notes. Significance at other
levels is designated by a supplemental note. Lack of significance is
usually indicated by NS and needs a note only if the lowest level of
significance shown is higher than the nonsignificance level. Example:
Significant at the 0.01 and 0.001 probability levels, respectively.
NS, nonsignificant at the 0.05 level.
For supplemental notes, use the following symbols in this order:
Cite these symbols just as you would read a
table—from left to right and from top to bottom, and reading across
all spanner and subheadings for one column before moving on to the
next. No matter where the asterisks first appear in a table, the significance
note comes before any supplemental notes keyed to the
other symbols. Be sure that applicable units are clearly expressed for
the data (usually as a separate first row above the data rows).
An exponential expression (e.g., ?10−3) in the units line is often
necessary to keep the length of data values reasonably short. This ambiguous
expression must be referenced with an explanatory note
(ASA–CSSA–SSSA, 1998, p. 60).
Publication Charges and Length of Manuscript
Full-length manuscripts accepted for publication in Crop Science
are assessed a publication charge of $350 for members and $600 for
nonmembers; the charge for registrations is $150 for members and
$400 for nonmembers. Authors are also charged for the cost of illustrations
beyond $15 for each paper, and there is an additional
charge for color. For economy of space, the Materials and Methods
section, references, and footnotes are set in small type.
Accepted Manuscripts
Both a printed copy and word processing file of the final accepted
manuscript are required. The printed copy and word processing file
must match exactly in all parts of the manuscript. Word processing
files for the text and tables must be included; files for figures may
also be included, but currently figures are reproduced from hard copy.
