Environmental and Experimental Botany
Aims and Scope of the Journal Environmental and Experimental Botany:Environmental and Experimental Botany (EEB) publishes research papers on the physical, chemical, biological, molecular mechanisms and processes involved in the responses of plants to their environment.In addition to research papers, the journal includes review articles. Submission is in agreement with the Editors-in-Chief.The Journal also publishes special issues which are built by invited guest editors and are related to the main themes of EEB.The areas covered by the Journal include:(1) Responses of plants to heavy metals and pollutants(2) Plant/water interactions (salinity, drought, flooding)(3) Responses of plants to radiations ranging from UV-B to infrared(4) Plant/atmosphere relations (ozone, CO2 , temperature)(5) Global change impacts on plant ecophysiology(6) Biotic interactions involving environmental factors.Each submitted manuscript related to these areas should be preferably based on an explicitly elaborated mechanistic hypothesis. We especially welcome molecular studies of gene function that use gene-edited and/or overexpression/trans... lines to evaluate plant responses. The purely descriptive and following types of manuscripts are not suitable for EEB: field monitoring surveys, pure mathematical modeling without experimentations, pure correlative works, applied papers on agriculture and phytopathology, studies of plant biology, gene expression and molecular works without considering environmental aspects, or transcriptomic / bioinformatic analyses that simply predict gene function. The research should be based on a clear hypothesis and provide new insights on plant responses to the environment, preferably providing evidence of new mechanisms underlying plant stress resistance. Ecological studies are also encouraged if they provide a sound basis of physiological processes involved in the plant response to the environment.

European Journal of Agronomy
The Official Journal of the European Society for AgronomyThe European Journal of Agronomy (EJA), the official journal of the European Society for Agronomy, publishes original research papers reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to field-based agronomy and crop science. The journal strives to provide a forum for advanced agronomic research aimed at improving global agricultural systems, shaping the future of agriculture, and supporting the transition to more sustainable and resilient farming systems.The journal will consider research at the field level for agricultural, horticultural and tree crops, that uses comprehensive and explanatory approaches. The EJA covers the following topics:Crop Physiology: Research in plant biology focusing on physiological processes, stress responses, growth mechanisms, and improvement for enhanced crop performance.Crop Production and Management: Research on optimizing crop production practices, including irrigation, fertilization, pest control, weed management, soil management, crop rotation, and the adoption of innovative technologies for sustainable agriculture.Agroclim... and Modelling/Climate-Sm... Agriculture: Studies on the relationship between climate and agriculture, including the use of models to address key agronomic challenges, and climate-smart agricultural practices and strategies.Plant-Soi... Relationships: Research on the interactions between plants and soils, focusing on soil health, nutrient cycling, and sustainable soil management practices.Crop Quality: Research focused on improving the quality of crops, considering factors such as nutritional content, postharvest handling, and the effects of agricultural practices on food quality.Farming and Cropping Systems: Studies on crop rotations, intercropping, and agroforestry, aiming to optimize agricultural productivity and sustainability through diverse and resilient cropping systems.Agroecosyste... and the Environment: Research focused on the relationships between agricultural practices and the environment, including resource efficiency, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, aims to minimize environmental impacts and promote sustainable agricultural development.Organic Farming/Regenerative Agriculture: Studies on organic farming and regenerative agricultural practices, including agroecological systems, crop rotation, and sustainable methods to promote soil fertility, pest control, and environmental sustainability.Preci... Farming/Digital Agriculture/Smart Agriculture: The use of advanced technologies, including remote sensing, GIS, crop growth modelling, machine learning (deep learning), computer vision and data-driven approaches to optimize crop management in space and time. On-farm research and integrated precision farming systems are preferred. When determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, we place particular scrutiny on the degree of novelty and significance of the research, the robustness of methodology, and the extent to which the study adds to existing knowledge in agronomy. Key criteria for experimental studies: Experimental studies must provide sufficient detail to ensure that results can be replicated under similar conditions. Research should allow for the verification of findings in different locations, contexts, or farming systems.Field experiments need to be either multi-locational or multi-year, and typically involving at least THREE years, and should be accompanied by appropriate statistical analysis. This is essential to assess the consistency of results across seasons, locations, and environmental conditions. Two-year studies should be considered exceptionally only if they are multi-locational or truly innovative.Studies should contribute to a deeper understanding of the biological and agronomic processes involved. Research should demonstrate new insights into crop growth, environmental interactions, or agronomic practices.Studies Typically NOT Considered for Publication:Confirma... research: Studies that simply replicate previously established results without offering new insights, processes, or significant contributions to the field of agronomy.Routine agronomy trials: Research focused solely on cultivar trials or conventional agronomy practices without identifying novel biological processes or mechanisms.Modelling studies with no innovation: Studies that merely test a model for its goodness-of-fit to observed data without addressing novel or significant agronomic questions. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-related studies: Studies that focus solely on developing AI tools without presenting practical applications or agronomic implications within the study.Glasshouse or controlled-environme... studies: These are typically not accepted unless they provide exceptionally strong evidence or unique insights that cannot be obtained through field-based research.Single-loca... or short-term field studies: Experiments limited to a single location or with very short durations (e.g., less than three years) that do not provide comprehensive insights into agronomic practices.Review articles are normally written on invitation from the Editor-in-Chief. Authors intending to prepare review papers for the journal are advised to consult the Editor-in-Chief before writing their reviews. Review articles should go beyond merely summarizing the current state of the art. They must provide a critical analysis of existing knowledge, identifying gaps, unresolved questions, and research needs. A high-quality review should synthesize findings, highlight controversies, and offer insights to guide future research directions.

European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids
Entirely in EnglishThe European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids publishes papers in all fields of fluid mechanics. Although investigations in well-established areas are within the scope of the journal, recent developments and innovative ideas are particularly welcome. Theoretical, computational and experimental papers are equally welcome. Mathematical methods, be they deterministic or stochastic, analytical or numerical, will be accepted provided they serve to clarify some identifiable problems in fluid mechanics, and provided the significance of results is explained. Similarly, experimental papers must add physical insight in to the understanding of fluid mechanics.Fast Tracks in the European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids is a venue for short papers with significant original results across the full range of fluid mechanics. Papers submitted as Fast Tracks will receive priority handling by a dedicated editor, to ensure accelerated publication, and will appear in a dedicated EJMB/Fluids section of each journal volume. EJMB/Fluids will strive for the editorial process of two months from submission to publication. Manuscripts submitted to Fast Tracks must maintain the same standard of rigor and quality required of all papers submitted to the Journal; thus, papers in the fast-track process are not intended for the publication of minor incremental or cursory results.The European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids welcomes extended Comments to published articles, to facilitate evaluation of each paper by the community, to stimulate scientific discussions and possibly highlight paths of future research. It is not the objective of the Comments section to point to minor issues, such as typographical errors.

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
EJMECH (The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry) is a global journal that publishes studies on the main aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original research papers and it welcomes critical review papers.A typical paper would report on the design (with or without the support of computational methods), organic synthesis, characterization and biochemical/pharmaco... evaluation of novel, potent compounds preferentially with a clear (or proven) mechanism of action and/or target. Other topics of interest are molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present a clear rational for a study, provide insight into the strategy and design of compounds and into the mechanism of action, and biological targets. Manuscripts reporting only computational studies are out-of-scope unless a new method (broadly applicable, validated and available to the community) is reported. Authors are kindly invited to look to published articles for the scope of the journal and the organisation of papers.
