Crop & Pasture Science
Scope
Crop & Pasture Science is an international journal publishing outcomes of strategic research in crop and pasture sciences and the sustainability of farming systems. The primary focus is broad-scale cereals, grain legumes, oilseeds and pastures. Papers are encouraged that advance understanding in plant-based agricultural systems through the use of well-defined and original aims designed to test a hypothesis, innovative and rigorous experimental design, and strong interpretation. The journal embraces experimental approaches from molecular level to whole systems, and the research must present novel findings and progress the science of agriculture.
Crop & Pasture Science is read by agricultural scientists and plant biologists, industry, administrators, policy-makers, and others with an interest in the challenges and opportunities facing world agricultural production. To facilitate accessibility and clarity, research papers should address a clearly enunciated hypothesis, and the Abstract should define the novel outcomes.
Specific areas of interest include:
- Centres of origin and diversity of crop and pasture species and associating these centres with traits of agronomic interest, including quality and disease resistance
- Plant genetic improvement using molecular or traditional approaches. Papers which map QTLs for metric traits and which can validate the utility of the markers in breeding will be particularly relevant. Genetic maps are not published unless they incorporate traits of agronomic value or concern comparative mapping among species of agricultural relevance
- Transgenic research should show a direct relevance to agriculture. Papers demonstrating improvement for traits not readily amenable to traditional breeding are important
- Genotype X environment research and innovative statistical approaches to understanding G X E
- Plant soil relations
- Plant water relations
- Crop and pasture agronomy research, the findings of which advance the science of agriculture
- Plant pathology and entomology which increase our understanding of the biology of the interaction and lead to improved management. Research on the genetics of host parasite interactions is relevant
- Novel cropping options and systems to improve productivity and which attempt to present the findings in a broad context
- Integrated land and water resources management in agricultural systems
- Impacts of changing climate on crops, pastures and agricultural systems
The journal also publishes: Farrer Reviews that are prestigious, invited reviews where the author is a world leader in their research field in crop and pasture science. Critical reviews that interpret the literature in an original and innovative way as well as indicating fruitful areas of further research. The reviews may be current reviews which focus on exciting new developments in a relevant field, or take a more historical perspective. Historical reviews must in all cases point to new research directions which will advance the science of agriculture. Viewpoints and Comments on topical and emerging areas of research or policy. Thematic Sections and Special Issues summarising research outcomes of interdisciplinary and cooperative research.

Instructions to Authors
General Information
Crop & Pasture Science welcomes the submission of papers presenting original and significant research that are within the Journal´s scope.
All papers are refereed. Acceptance of papers is the responsibility of the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the Editorial Board.
When preparing a paper for publication, please follow journal style and layout as closely as possible. It may help if you consult a recent copy of the journal or a sample issue online. Detailed guidelines are set out in the Notice to Authors.
There are no page charges for Crop & Pasture Science.
English-language editing before peer review
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited after submission but before the review process.
English-language editing will:
- Improve grammar, spelling, and punctuation
- Improve clarity and resolve any ambiguity caused by poor phrasing
- Improve the language style so it is appropriate for an academic journal.
Authors wishing to use a professional English-language editing service should make contact and arrange payment with the editing service of their choice directly. Use of an English-language editing supplier listed here is not mandatory, and will not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication in a CSIRO PUBLISHING journal.
Reprints
Reprints can be ordered prior to publication. An order form is sent to the corresponding author with final page proofs.
CSIRO PUBLISHING supplies the corresponding authors with a free PDF of their paper upon publication. Authors may also order hardcopy reprints of their papers at the time they complete author corrections. Authors may create links to their papers from their personal webpages. All papers are also available from our website either by subscription or sale of individual papers.
Indexing/Abstracting
The journal is indexed/abstracted in a wide variety of databases.
Submission
To submit your paper, please use our online journal management system ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Editorial Board
All submissions to Crop & Pasture Science are assessed initially by the Editor-in-Chief and, if considered to lie within the journal´s scope and to be of sufficient quality, are sent for external peer review, in consultation with members of the Editorial Board. This board comprises scientists and researchers whose expertise spans topics relevant to the Journal´s scope. Associate Editors make recommendations about publication of papers in the Journal but the final decision is the responsibility of the Editor.
