Aims and scope
Folia Horticulturae is an international, scientific journal published in English. It covers a broad research spectrum of aspects related to horticultural science that are of interest to a wide scientific community and have an impact on progress in both basic and applied research carried out with the use of horticultural crops and their products. The journal’s aim is to disseminate recent findings and serve as a forum for presenting views as well as for discussing important problems and prospects of modern horticulture, particularly in relation to sustainable production of high yield and quality of horticultural products, including their impact on human health.
The articles should concern any of the main groups of horticultural crops i.e., fruits, vegetables, herbal and medicinal plants, ornamental plants, and landscape plants. They should present novel and scientifically sound results or reviews relevant to a broad community. Interdisciplinary articles combining aspects of crop production, plant protection, breeding, seed science, post-harvest technology and food technology are welcome. These applied aspects can be supported by basic research in biochemistry, plant physiology, biotechnology and genetics. Particular interest is given to articles dealing with plant production with the aim of products with a higher quality and of high importance for human health. Comparisons of sustainable production techniques with the use of conventional, organic and biotechnologically improved crops as well as global social and economic aspects of horticulture may be presented.

Ethical guidelines
Folia Horticulturae has implemented policies against dishonesty and unethical publishing practice and follows Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) recommendations (http://publicationethics.org). In particular, this includes protection against ghostwriting (an author is not included in the list of authors nor mentioned in acknowledgements), guest authorship (the impact of an author is meaningless or none) and plagiarism. By submitting the manuscript Authors are obliged to declare that the submitted material is original, written by the stated authors, has not been published before and contains neither unlawful statements nor infringes the rights of third parties. The Authors are also responsible for providing any necessary written permissions to quote any materials that have been published before in other sources. Individual contribution of every author must be described in the manuscript section “Author contributions”.
Any conflict of interest between authors, founding bodies or reviewers is documented and will be disclosed (list here). Authors provide statement of no conflict of interest or describes any issues that can be considered as such in the manuscript section “Conflict of interest”. Funding source must be disclosed in the manuscript section “Funding”. By commencing reviews, Reviewers are obliged to communicate any conflict of interest with a body founding research or authors, if anticipated from the manuscript text. In case of any doubts, the relevant explanation must be provided and then the Editor will make appropriate decision if the Reviewer is eligible to perform the requested review.
Folia Horticulturae has implemented the CrossCheck plagiarism screening system (http://www.crossref.org/ crosscheck/index.html) in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. CrossCheck is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process that is performed independently by external reviewers.
In case of suspicion of dishonesty or unethical publishing practice revealed at any stage of publication process or after article is disseminated, Folia Horticulturae will commence action to obtain satisfying explanations according to the COPE guidelines. Identified misconduct or unresolved cases may lead to manuscript rejection or article retraction, and disclosure of the case (list here), including notification of the Author’s employer.
Manuscript review process
Each submitted manuscript is pre-evaluated by the Editors. If it is considered for publication in Folia Horticulturae, the manuscript is assigned to one of the Associate Editors or Editor-in-Chief who sent it to at least two independent reviewers in a double-blind mode ensuring the names of authors and reviewers are not known to each other. Reviewers are selected among experts in the given scientific field and the selection is exclusively based on Folia Horticulturae Editor’s decision. The Editor may consider the choice of the reviewers suggested by the Authors. At least one reviewer is from country other than Author's affiliation country. The Reviewers provide their written opinion that must be convincing and justify final conclusion on the acceptance/rejection of the manuscript or the need for manuscript revision. Questions for Reviewers’ consideration while providing an opinion on the manuscript is available at the journal home page (download PDF). Simultaneously, the manuscript is screened using the CrossCheck System for potential elimination of plagiarism. Based on the review and CrossCheck outcome, the Associate Editor alone or in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief, Statistical Editor or Editorial Board member makes decision on the manuscript revision and communicate it to the corresponding author. The Authors can revise their manuscript according to the Reviewers’ and Editors’ comments and sent it again to the Associate Editor with accompanying letter listing answers to the comments. The revised manuscript may be sent to Reviewers once again upon the Editor’s decision. The final decision on manuscript acceptance/rejection is taken by the Editor-in-Chief who can also request additional revision or explanations from the Authors.
Manuscript can be accepted for publication when it follows the aim and scope of Folia Horticulturae, presents novelty and is of scientific importance. Two positive reviews are required for publication of the manuscript in Folia Horticulturae. In case of any doubt, inconclusive or not fully justified review, the Editor may select additional reviewer for consultation.

TABLES
Tables must be created using a word processor and included at the end of the manuscript text. Each table must be self explainable and readable thus it is important that its layout is as simple as possible. Please consider the use of separate simple tables instead of one big and complex table to avoid readers’ confusion. Please avoid nested cells or summarizing lines inside the table. Keep column and line headings short but clear. Do not use vertical lines. Horizontal lines are used only to border the table and underline the headings or main table parts.
Table text should be typed in Times New Roman 9 pt font (without bold) and single spaced lines in all table cells. Text in the cells should be centered horizontally and vertically. Only text in the first column should be left justified. Units should be given in parentheses.
Latin names should be in italic. Names of cultivars in tables should be not included between inverted commas.
The table title should be written using Times New Roman 10 pt font and proceeded above table body, for example: Table 1. Title should provide enough details to be understanding without referring to the main text (i.e. it should 'stand alone').
Table footnotes should be indicated by one or more asterisks in superscript and placed directly below the table body. Identical notes in follow-up tables should be like in example form: *Explanations: see Table 1.
Each table must be mentioned at least once in the text, and in proper numerical order. Examples of table citation in the text: ...presented in Table 1, (Tab. 1), (Tabs 1 and 2).
A single page table size including the title and footnotes is max. 166 × 247 mm; tables should be arranged in a portrait orientation. Tables fitting to a one text column must be max. 79.5 mm in width. If tables are larger than print area they may be divided into parts and/or orientation may be changed to landscape.
FIGURES
Figures (including images) should be labeled and numbered separately with Arabic numerals according to the sequence in which they are cited in the text, e.g.: ...see Figure 1, (Fig. 2), (Figs 2 and 3), (Fig. 4A, 4B). Please make your figures as clear as possible, and add labeling where there are multiple panels using capital letters (A, B, etc.).
Figures must be attached as separate file (MS Word document), one figure per page, during submission process.
If quality of the figures is low, the Authors will be requested at a production stage to send MS Excel source files or high-resolution files (TIFF, JPEG, EPS and PDF). Graphics should have a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.
Colour figures can be submitted and they will appear in colour in articles published online, Please note that all figures will be printed on a paper in black and white or grey scale unless the authors order print in colour (see ‘Printing color figures’ section).
Figure size can be reduced during layout process and thus all graphical symbols, lines and fonts must be big enough to remain readable after rescaling. The figure size must fit to printing area of max. 166 × 247 mm including the figure caption and legend. Figures fitting to a one text column must be max. 79.5 mm width.
In general, use a sans-serif font type (preferred: Arial, Calibri) for all figures, without bold. The figure title should be written using Times New Roman 10 pt font and proceeded below the figure, for example: Figure 1. Title… Do not use borderline around the figure.
Printing colour figures
Figures can be also printed in colour, but only on the Author’s request stated during the process of manuscript online submission.
Images must be supplied at least 300 dpi (print resolution), not 72 dpi (screen resolution). Authors can use one of the standard graphical formats for saving images, but TIFF is recommended. Colour figures should be saved with CMYK settings for print publication (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) only.
Each page in colour costs 240 PLN (60 EUR).
Additional remarks
Latin names should be typed in italics. Do not use italics for family names.
Cultivar names should be included between inverted commas ( ‘Apollo’, ‘Nerac’ F1 ), but do not use inverted commas together with the word 'cultivar' (cultivar Apollo). Names of breeding materials, landraces and other materials not registered as cultivars should be written without inverted commas.
System S.I. and standard abbreviations of units and symbols should be used exclusively. Complex units should be typed as follows: kg m-2 (kilogram per square meter); μmol m-2 s-1 (micro moles per meter squared per second); mg dm-3 (milligrams per cubic decimeter).
Letters of p (probability level) and r (sample coefficient of linear correlation) should be lowercase and italic, and R2 (coefficient of determination) should be uppercase and italic. Probability level should be described as follows: p < 0.05; p < 0.01; p < 0.001. “Standard deviation of a sample”, “standard error of the mean of a sample”, and “statistically non-significant” should be denoted by SD, SE, and ns, respectively.
