Members and non-members are urged to contribute articles for consideration. However it must be understood that Chronica is not a scientific journal that publishes original research.

We seek horticultural articles of interest to a broad audience composed of ISHS members and the broader community of horticultural science and industry professionals.

Other interesting publications published by societies or organizations serving science realms of interest to horticultural science and scientists are listed here for your convenience. Any suggestions or additions to this list are of course welcome at the ISHS Secretariat.

Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology:

The Trustees of the Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology (JHSB) and the Board of ISHS recognise that there is much to be gained through partnership. As of 1 January 2008 a collaborative electronic access to the knowledge published in The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology (JHSB) will be offered online by ISHS. Research papers, review articles, features and opinion pieces published in JHSB will be available to JHSB subscribers in electronic format. Non-subscribers can access this electronic journal on a payment per article basis and ISHS members can do the same using membership credits. Enhanced opportunities to access back issues of JHSB and to search for specialised topics and themes are being developed.

Benefits will accrue to JHSB subscribers and to ISHS members from this collaboration. Subscribers to JHSB will benefit from increased access to the wider range of knowledge in horticultural science and other information available through the ISHS website. Society members will benefit from closer access to, and more immediate availability of an eminent peer-reviewed Journal.
