The journal encourages authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of the major questions of plant biology and agriculture, thereby maximizing the impact, spreading and value of their research. The pa- pers must be of potential interest to a significant number of scientists and, if specific to a local situation, must be relevant to a wide body of knowledge in biology and agronomy. Articles should make a significant contribution to the advance- ment of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing biological and agricultural concepts. An international Editorial Board advises the journal. There are no publishing fee and no pay for submission. The total content of the journal may be used for educational, non-profit purposes without regard to copyright. The distribution of the material is encouraged with the condition that the authors and the source (Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca or Not Bot Hort Agrobot Cluj) are mentioned.
Submission The journal offers to authors a fully web-enabled online manuscript submission, instructions for authors and review system available at http://www.notulaebotanicae.rohttp://notulaebotanicae.ro/nbha/index Papers are published in English (British spelling) and the authors are fully responsible for the originality of their pa- pers and for the correctness of their subject-matter, language and formal attributes. A language reviewer revises English, but authors are strongly urged to have the papers reviewed linguistically prior to submission. Manuscripts submitted must be edited, for clarity and conformity purposes according to Authors guidlines, and must not have been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The papers can be submited online by the “senior author” (the main author, or the person who takes responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole, from submission to the published article). The submission process is described on the web site. An Author Statement, available on the website, should be enclosed by “senior author” declaring that the paper has not been published anywhere else, permission to reproduce the material, authorship credit, contributors and creditors for the integrity of the work as a whole, to avoid the conflicts of interest and scientist fraud, and respecting the ethical principles of publishing, research and scientific rights.
