First, the journal editor together with other members of the editorial board, usually technical editors (referred to as co-editors in Vadose Zone Journal) and associate editors, determine whether a scientific paper represents a significant addition to the literature. If so, one or more of those editors work with the author to make certain the paper is complete and scientifically accurate. After one of the editors (journal, technical, or associate depending on the journal) accepts a paper for publication, managing editors employed by ASA, CSSA, and SSSA oversee copyediting and typesetting of the paper to ensure its adherence to ASA, CSSA, SSSA and other recognized rules regarding style, grammar, and quality and consistency of presentation.

  • 2020 Annual Report Journal of Plant Registrations
    2020 Annual Report Journal of Plant Registrations: Dr. Arron Carter from Washington State University began his term as Editor of the Journal of Plant Registrations in 2020. He had previously served as an Associate Editor for the journal for two years. Ann Edahl continues to serve as our Managing Editor, and we appreciate her assistance to the journal. Having a new editor meant a lot of questions, and Ann was always there to help find the answer! I have attached the Managing Editors report at the end of this report for reference. During 2020, due to an increase in the diversity of manuscripts being submitted, we added Mary Gutierri (USDA), Shantel Martinez (Bayer Crop Science; Early Career member), Juan Osorno (NDSU), and Andrew Wiersma (MSU; Early Career member) to the editorial board. Associate Editors Naveen Puppala (NMSU), Jorge Da Silva (Texas A&M), and William Anderson (USDA) agreed to serve additional terms in 2021. We also will be adding Dipak Santra (University of Nebraska), Kolbyn Joy (Bayer Crop Science; Early Career member), and Guorong Zhang (KSU) as Associate Editors in 2021. Charles Chen (Auburn University) finished his second term and we thanked him for his six years of service on the board. In 2020 we had 105 manuscripts submitted, which is an increase over the average 81 we have had over the past six years. The majority of the manuscripts received detailed small grains or legumes, followed by peanut, sugarcane and soybean, among many other submission from various other crops. In 2020 we launched two new Scopes for contribution, one on Review and Interpretation (designed to highlight cultivars/germplasm of significant importance to a crop) and Description of genetic plant material (to highlight new information presented on lines already registered within the germplasm system).

Received: 12 April 2020; Accepted: 3 June 2020; Published: 6 June 2020 Abstract: As an essential factor of the earth’s critical zone, soil water has a remarkable influence on nutrient cycle and energy flow in terrestrial ecosystems and has attracted the attention of considerable scholars. Based on the online database of Web of Science, the bibliometric analysis was performed to evaluate the evolution feature of soil water research from 1934 to 2019. The results showed a rapid growth of scientific outputs with a gradually increasing proportion of internationally collaborative articles. Environmental Sciences, Water Resources, and Soil Science were the most frequently used subject categories, and the Journal of Hydrology had the highest number of publications in this field. The institutions from the USA and China were the most active, and the USA occupied a leading position in soil water research, producing the most articles and having the most considerable number of citations.

Future applications of research communication are expanding from tradi- tional formats (e.g., papers, books, printed journals) to digital research platforms that enhance the capacity of growth in soil science research. Abstract: Various soil concepts have emerged since the beginning of the twentieth century, with some shared similarities. These concepts have contributed to a rise in the awareness of protecting limited soil resources, but not every idea has equally gained widespread attention from scientists. The purpose of this study was to document the developmental history of 10 soil concepts from 1900 to 2018 Citation: Mizuta, K.; Grunwald, S.; and investigate their growth/decline.
