Call for Nominations of Country Editors

COORDINATING EDITORS AND REFEREES

The Editorial Board consists of Editors from different countries and a group of Technical Editors, competent research scientists in their respective fields. 

About six years ago, an initiative was started to expand the scope and geographic representation of the Editorial Board of Journal of Applied Horticulture. A glance of Members of Editorial Advisory Panel will reveal that this initiative has indeed been very successful, with over twelve countries represented in a board of members. However, nominating and electing members alone is not enough. The goal of such measures is also to attract both authors and readers from a wider and more diverse scientific community.

Journal of Applied Horticulture (1999-2004) now has a more diverse and international representation on the editorial board, more fully reflecting the horticultural research agenda internationally.
