HortScience is published monthly (12 issues per year).HortScience publishes horticultural information of interest to a broad array of horticulturists. Its goals are to apprise horticultural scientists and others interested in horticulture of scientific and industry developments and of significant research, education, or extension findings or methods.

HortTechnology serves as the primary outreach publication of the American Society for Horticultural Science. Its mission is to provide science-based information to professional horticulturists, practitioners, and educators; promote and encourage an interchange of ideas among scientists, educators, and professionals working in horticulture; and provide an opportunity for peer review of practical horticultural information.Written by experts, for experts, HortTechnology brings you reliable, current, peer-reviewed technical information to help solve problems and deal with current challenges in production, education, and extension.

Publishing original papers of scientific value in the field of horticulture and similar areas.

Thematic scopeThe journal publishes results of basic and applied research from all areas of horticulture, fruit growing, vegetable growing, floriculture, ornamental gardening, garden and landscape architecture. The main concern is on plants growing under the conditions of the European temperate zone and countries with a similar climate, and on other plant species that are classified as horticultural ones. Original scientific papers, short communications and review articles are published in the journal. Papers are published in English (British spelling).

A worldwide forum for state-of-the-art ideas, methods, and techniques in the field, Human Biology focuses on genetics in the broadest sense. Included under this rubric are population genetics, evolutionary and genetic demography, quantitative genetics, genetic epidemiology, behavioral genetics, molecular genetics, and growth physiology parameters focusing on genetic/environmental interactions.

Human Nature is dedicated to advancing the interdisciplinary investigation of the biological, social, and environmental factors that underlie human behavior. It focuses primarily on the functional unity in which these factors are continuously and mutually interactive. These include the evolutionary, biological, and sociological processes as they interact with human social behavior; the biological and demographic consequences of human history; the cross-cultural, cross-species, and historical perspectives on human behavior; and the relevance of a biosocial perspective to scientific, social, and policy issues.

Hydrobiologia publishes original research, reviews and opinions investigating the biology of all aquatic environments, including the impact of human activities. Coverage includes molecular-, organism-, community -and ecosystem-level studies dealing with limnology and oceanography, including systematics and aquatic ecology. In addition to hypothesis-driven experimental research, it presents theoretical papers relevant to a broad hydrobiological audience.The Editor-in-Chief is Koen Martens, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels.The Honorary Editor-in-Chief is Henri J.Dumont, University of Ghent, Institute of Animal Ecology, Belgium.

This journal contains translations from the premier Russian and Eastern European periodicals in aquatic biology and aquatic ecosystems, supplemented by original articles from elsewhere. The journal publishes in the area of physiology, biochemistry, systematics, ecology and conservation of freshwater fish, invertebrates, vascular plants, zoo- and phytoplankton, as well as freshwater quality and toxicology. While most of the papers deal with inland waters, the journal also publishes articles reporting on expeditionary work, especially the Antarctic and tropical seas. Hydrobiological Journal is valuable to freshwater and marine biologists and chemists, limnologists, environmental scientists, oceanographers, and toxicologists.

The International Association of Wood Anatomists was founded in 1931. Its objectives are:• to create awareness of the place of wood anatomy in science, technology and conservation of natural resources, for the public good;• to exchange ideas and information through correspondence and meetings;• to facilitate collection, storage and exchange of research materials;• to provide rational bases for the consistent use of terminology in descriptions of wood and bark, and to cooperate with others having similar aims in other related fields of plant anatomy;• to stimulate the publication of scientific articles on wood anatomy and related fields (including bark anatomy, "woody" monocotyledons);• to encourage and assist the study and teaching of wood anatomy and related fields;• to promote research in wood anatomy and related fields and to engage in any other activity consistent with the objectives of the Association.

ICAN: Infant, Child, & Adolescent Nutrition (ICAN) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed journal on the nutritional care of children from birth through adolescence, providing practical information derived from research and practice. ICAN publishes articles translating original basic and clinical nutrition research for clinicians, evidence-based practice innovations, research reviews, commentaries on pediatric nutrition and eating behavior, case reports, and more.

The ICES Journal of Marine Science publishes articles, short communications, and critical reviews that contribute to our scientific understanding of marine systems and the impact of human activities. The Journal serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to the marine environment. Oceanography, marine habitats, living resources, and related management topics constitute the key elements of papers eligible for publication. Integrated studies that bridge gaps between traditional disciplines are particularly welcome. The scope of the Journal has been broadened to include economic, social, and public administration studies to the extent that they are directly related to management of the seas and are of general interest to marine scientists.
