The International Journal of Food Properties publishes original research papers devoted to all scientific and applied aspects of food properties. The emphasis is on measurement methods, development of standards, and data on food properties, predictions, and applications. The International Journal of Food Properties brings together the widely scattered research in the area of food properties and provides an international forum for scientists and technologists for rapid dissemination of their research results, ideas, and knowledge. Other features include review articles, book reviews, letters to the editor, conference papers, news, and commercial advertisements.

The International Journal of Food Science & Technology (IJFST) is published for the Institute of Food Science and Technology, the IFST. This authoritative and well-established journal publishes in a wide range of subjects, ranging from pure research in the various sciences associated with food to practical experiments designed to improve technical processes. Subjects covered range from raw material composition to consumer acceptance, from physical properties to food engineering practices, and from quality assurance and safety to storage, distribution, marketing and use. While the main aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for papers describing the results of original research, review articles are also welcomed.

International Journal of Forestry Research is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles as well as review articles in all areas of forestry research.

International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science is published by AZTI-Tecnalia in collaboration with Elsevier and is edited by an international group of eminent researchers and gastronomy experts.

International Journal of Limnology (IJL) publishes original articles and reviews on all aspects dealing with the physical or chemical properties, biology and ecology of freshwater and brackish systems. Manuscripts can be proposed about studies performed either in the laboratory or at field. Said differently, IJL aims at providing a unique media for topics addressing inland water environments (physics, chemistry, biogeochemistry, biology, ecology), from both fundamental and functional aspects to applications and management issues. IJL promotes rapid peer-review and rapid publication. In 2020, time from submission to first decision was 1-2 weeks and time from acceptance to online publication was 4 weeks. The official language of the journal is English.

International Journal of Odonatology (IJO) is aimed at providing a publication outlet for the growing number of students of Odonata. It will address subjects such as the ecology, ethology, physiology, genetics, taxonomy, phylogeny and geographic distribution of species. Reviews will be by invitation, but authors who plan to write a review on a subject of interest to the journal are encouraged to contact the editor.

International Journal of Pest Management publishes original research papers and reviews concerned with pest management in the broad sense, covering the control of pests (invertebrates, vertebrates and weeds) and diseases of plants, fungi and their products – including biological control, varietal and cultural control, chemical control and interference methods. The management of invasive species is of special interest. We also encourage submissions dealing with interactions of multiple pests such as arthropods and plant pathogens, pathogens and weeds or weeds and arthropods as well as those dealing with the indirect and direct effects of climate change on sustainable agricultural practices. The journal covers the following scientific topics: Population dynamics of pests in relation to management strategies. Assessment of pest or weed and disease damage characteristics / levels and associated yield loss; damage and economic thresholds; sampling and monitoring methods. Pest management systems including decision support and risk analyses. Analysis of farmers’ perceptions of pest management constraints or technologies and of economic benefits supporting studies of the efficacy of pest management at field- and farm-scale. The relationship of pest management to the wider aspects of farming systems and rural development policy. Pre and post-harvest pest management. Novel pest management approaches, technology, methods and techniques Non-target effects of pesticide use / of biological control introductions. Life-history strategies and evolution of pest organisms / biological control agents. Plant defense mechanism in the context of pest management. Environmental sustainability in relation to pest management practices.

An Official Journal of the Association for Environmental Health and Science and the International Phytotechnology Society. 2009 Impact Factor: 1.321Ranking: 109/181 (Environmental Sciences)2009 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.852Ranking: 84/181 (Environmental Sciences)169; 2010 Thomson Reuters, Journal Citation Reports174; The International Journal of Phytoremediation is the first journal devoted to the publication of current laboratory and field research describing the use of plant systems to remediate contaminated environments. Phytoremediation refers to a diverse group of green technologies that use either naturally occurring or genetically engineered plants to decontaminate polluted air, soil, and water. Phytoremediation technologies currently fall into the following five categories:PhytodegradationPhytostabilizationPhytovolatizationPhytoextraction, including rhizofiltrationEnhanced rhizosphere biodegradation The journal is an international, peer-reviewed publication designed to link professionals in the many environmental disciplines involved in the development, application, management, and regulation of emerging phytoremediation technologies. Manuscripts will be considered that address any of a wide range of issues and interests associated with the entire field of phytoremediation. High quality, original articles make up the primary content, with additional contributions as technical notes, short communications, editorials, and occasional invited review articles. Prior to publication, manuscripts must pass a rigorous peer review process managed by the editor-in-chief. The journal also publishes letters to the editor, book/software reviews, new products and patent information, and announcements of upcoming conferences and courses.The scope of the International Journal of Phytoremediation includes:Use of phytoremediation processes for environmental restoration.Hybrid technologies combining chemical, physical, and/or other biological processes with phytoremediation.Any stage of technology development and validation, from basic laboratory research and bench-scale testing to pilot-and full-scale field application.Field applications or descriptions of the effects of contaminants and other forms of stress on phytoremediation systems.Examinations of the social framework for phytoremediation, including regulatory, economic, and public perception issues.

A major outlet for botanical research since 1875, the International Journal of Plant Sciences presents the results of original, peer-reviewed investigations from laboratories around the world in all areas of the plant sciences. Topics covered include genetics and genomics, developmental and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology, morphology and structure, systematics, plant-microbe interactions, paleobotany, evolution, and ecology.IJPS emphasizes dynamic rather than purely descriptive work and welcomes contributions that present evaluations and new perspectives on areas of current interest in plant biology. Studies concerned with techniques or methods are acceptable if accompanied by illustrative observations or quantitative data. IJPS also regularly features special issues on topics of particular interest, including new and exciting research originally presented at major botanical conferences.
