About the journal
The prime purpose of the Journal of the American Pomological Society is to provide a repository for information on all aspects of fruit and nut crops. The long-term emphasis of the journal on cultivars and rootstocks continues, but manuscripts reporting original research on a wide range of fruit and nut crops are welcomed. Acceptable areas of research include pruning, nutrition, growth regulators, cultural practices, economics, and pest control. Studies involving the interaction of one or more of these aspects with either cultivars and/or rootstocks are particularly appropriate. If in doubt about the suitability of a particular manuscript, please e-mail the Editor.
Instructions to Authors
- Editorial Scope: The prime purpose of the Journal of the American Pomological Society is to provide a repository for information on all aspects of fruit and nut crops. The long-term emphasis of the journal on cultivars and rootstocks continues, but manuscripts reporting original research on a wide range of fruit and nut crops are welcomed. Acceptable areas of research include pruning, nutrition, growth regulators, cultural practices, economics, and pest control. Studies involving the interaction of one or more of these aspects with either cultivars and/or rootstocks are particularly appropriate. If in doubt about the suitability of a particular manuscript, please e-mail the Editor.
..
- Prior Publication: Manuscripts submitted for publication must not have been previously published, and submission implies no concurrent submission elsewhere.
.
- Manuscript Preparation: Research reports on field studies are expected to contain data from multiple years. Reports are to be the result of adequately replicated trials and the data should be subjected to appropriate statistical analysis. Scientific names and authorities for plants, disease organisms, and insects should be included parenthetically when the organism is first mentioned. SI units and American spelling should be used throughout the manuscript. Typical organization is as follows: Title, Authors, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Literature Cited, Tables, Figures. The Results and Discussion sections are often combined. Author addresses and acknowledgements are in footnotes on the first page. An abstract is required for research reports and reviews, and is recommended for cultivar release papers. Key words are not used. The number system for literature citations is used. The references are alphabetized in a list, then numbered and cited by number in the text. Examples of our format for journal articles, book chapters and web site citations appear below. Tables should appear in the manuscript after the Literature Cited section. Tables should be understandable without reference to the text, and hence the title should be complete and informative. Horizontal spanners appear at the head and foot of the table and under column headings. No vertical rules are used. Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the table and are denoted in reverse alphabetical sequence (i.e. z, y, x, etc.). Figures appear last, usually one per page, and should also be self-explanatory, with a complete and informative caption. All Figures (including graphs, photos, etc.) should be camera ready. Please consider the size of the ultimate graph when sizing its components such as font size and line thickness. The figures will be black and white in print, and authors are reminded to keep this in mind during figure preparation.

- The Review Process: Manuscripts are sent to two reviewers competent to evaluate scientific content. Acceptance for publication depends upon the combined judgment of the two reviewers and the Editor. In some circumstances the Editor, without further review, may return a manuscript, which obviously does not meet Journal standards, to the author. Depending on the contents of the peer reviews, the manuscript may be rejected, recommended for publication pending suitable revisions, or accepted without revisions.
