ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief Background

 

ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE - OH (Brazilian Journal of Ornamental Horticulture) is the official journal of the Brazilian Society of Floriculture and Ornamental Plants - SBFPO.

Founded in 1995 by the Brazilian Society of Ornamental Horticulture, the journal was created to disseminate research and strengthen the connection between the scientific community and the productive sector. In 2014, the journal's title was changed to “Ornamental Horticulture” with the aim of expanding its international reach. Since its creation, the publication has been uninterrupted, with a frequency changing from two annual issues (1995–2014) to a quarterly publication (2015–2016) and, from 2017, to quarterly. In January 2024, the journal adopted the continuous publication format, which allows the immediate dissemination of articles. Thus, our aim and mission is to continue contributing to the development of Ornamental Horticulture and Landscaping, maintaining high international standards.

The journal is intended for the publication of technical and scientific works related to the areas of floriculture, ornamental plants, landscaping and landscapes, green roofs, vertical gardens, urban horticulture and edible flowers, lawns, urban afforestation, green areas, written by members of the national and international scientific community.

EDITORIAL POLICY

 

The editorial policy follows the research communication in the Open Science modus operandi.

The Ornamental Horticulture journal is coordinated by the Editor-in-Chief, who is directly assisted by the Associate and Assistant Editors. Furthermore, for each thematic area, there are Area Editors, who coordinate the processing of articles in their areas of knowledge. The entire processing and publication process is online through a submission system and the evaluation is carried out by qualified professionals in the double-blind review system. The journal presents guidelines to authors, which are essential for the standardization and quality of publications.

 

 

Preprints

 

Submissions of preprints from the following servers are acceptable: SciELO Preprints, arXiv, bioRxiv and medRxiv. The acceptance of Preprints from other servers will be analyzed by the journal editors. The articles will be submitted for peer review.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

The work received for publication is initially analyzed by the Editor-in-Chief regarding its suitability to the scope of the journal and standardization according to OH standards.

The paper is then forwarded to the Area Editor who, after analysis, sends the text to at least 2 (two) reviewers selected from among those registered in the journal's submission system. Using a specific form, the ad hoc reviewers make suggestions that are forwarded to the authors through the Area Editor and the Editor-in-Chief. The ad hoc reviewers can also suggest the approval or rejection of the article. If accepted, the analysis process can be repeated several times until the final approval of the text. A maximum period of 30 (thirty) days is established for each stage so that the final publication time is as short as possible.

The journal uses the “double blind review” process to evaluate its articles. All articles are confidential and impartial, and authors and ad hoc consultants do not disclose/access personal information.

The text will be sent for publication only after approval by the authors, reviewers, Area Editor and Editor-in-Chief. After approval, the text is sent to Editing, where it is reviewed by the Layout Editor and Associate Editor, observing its adequacy to the journal's standards.

After layout, the text returns to the authors for final approval and only after the formal declaration of the corresponding author, the article is published.

 

 

Open Data

 

Manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement of availability of the data used and generated in the research underlying the texts.

A survey data statement can have three types of presentations:

 

 

Processing Dates

 

The dates of receipt of the original article, review and acceptance, as well as the names of the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor, will be informed in the final published version of the article.

 

 

Fees

 

The journal Ornamental Horticulture has the following publication fees for accepted papers:

  • R$ 340.00 (for 1st or 2nd author member of SBFPO)
  • R$ 550.00 (for the 3rd or more SBFPO member authors and/or Non-members of SBFPO)
  • $200.00 (Two Hundred US Dollars) for foreign authors.

An additional fee of R$30.00 per page (Brazilian authors) and US$6.00 (foreign authors) will be charged in excess of the regulatory limit.

The charge is only applied after the communication of acceptance of the article. There is no charge for submission or evaluation of the article.

Access: Fees and Payment Guidelines in Documentation Required for Submissionfor more details.

Payment of this fee is intended to subsidize the journal's operating costs. This fee will be mandatory for all works by authors who are members and non-members of SBFPO, editors or reviewers of the journal.

EXEMPTIONS: For foreign authors who are part of the list of low-income countries, based on the Human Development Index (HDI), if they are unable to pay the publication fee, we ask that you contact the Editor-in-Chief (by email: editor.ornamentalhorticulture@gmail.com), for analysis of the demand. A document with the author(s)' own text, duly signed by all the author(s), must be submitted, with the justifications for the exemption. The journal will not use the publication fee as an impediment to the publication of accepted articles, since it has no commercial purposes.

 

 

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

OH is committed to upholding the integrity of the literature and publishes Errata, Expressions of Concerns or Notices of Retraction depending on the situation and in accordance with the COPE Retraction Guidelines.

The retraction mechanism follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Retraction Guidelines, which can be accessed at COPE - Retraction Guidelines.

Please refer to the following guidelines:

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

Conflicts of interest, whether personal, commercial, political, academic or financial, may arise in the process of submitting and processing an article. These conflicts may involve authors, reviewers or editors, either explicitly or not.

To avoid the occurrence of these conflicts and, above all, to prevent them from affecting the process of evaluating and publishing an article, the Editorial Board indicates that:

The authors are responsible for the submitted text and declare this when signing the submission letter.

Authors are responsible for identifying and disclosing conflicts, of any nature, that may have influenced their work.

Authors must indicate in the manuscript, in the Acknowledgements section, all financial or other support (personal, corporate and others) that has been used or applied to the work.

Reviewers must inform editors, and editors must inform the Editor-in-Chief, of any conflicts of interest that may influence their evaluations and assignments. And when applicable, decline the request for review.

 

 

Adoption of Similarity Software

 

The Ornamental Horticultura Magazine uses the free plagiarism detection system of CopySpider, with a maximum similarity percentage of 3% (excluding references). We recommend that authors perform a prior assessment before the submission process. In this case, higher percentages (up to 10%) are permitted only when the manuscript is extracted from theses or dissertations by one of the authors. Once similarity is detected (including self-plagiarism), the manuscript will be returned to the authors with the analysis report, and will subsequently be rejected and archived.

 

 

Adoption of Software Using Artificial Intelligence Resources

 

The Ornamental Horticulture Journal aims to provide greater transparency and guidance to editors, reviewers and authors regarding the use of AI tools and resourcesin order to maintain the ethics, integrity, transparency and quality of publications.

  1. Authors and co-authors must take full responsibility for the content of their studies, including the parts generated by AI tools.
  2. For authors: The use of AI tools and resources is strictly prohibited for writing articles, generating results, creating or altering images or graphic elements. They may only be used to improve the language and readability of the article.
  3. AI tools should not be credited as authors in academic articles. All AI-generated content must be attributed to a responsible human author. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript.
  4. It is important to mention that, if used, authors must disclose the use of AI tools and resources and a statement will appear in the published work.
  5. If the author has used AI tools and resources, a topic titled 'Declaration of AI tools and resources in the writing process' must be included before the references. In the declaration, authors must specify the tool used, the reason for it and the form of application.
  6. For editors and reviewers: Reviewers should not use AI to produce their reviews. Any and all use of AI in reviewing should be clearly disclosed in the review form.
 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

These are fundamental elements that must be considered in all phases of the research process.

The editorial team of OH, in addition to the authors who publish in the journal, must always observe the guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research (Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER). The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines for reporting information on sex and gender in study design, data analysis, and results and interpretation of findings. In addition, OH observes the gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.

The use of inclusive language is essential to promote diversity, equality, and accessibility in scholarly communication. We encourage authors to adopt linguistic practices that consider and respect diversity of gender, race, age, and other characteristics, thus contributing to a more welcoming and equitable academic environment.

 

 

Ethics Committee

 

When the research article involves human beings or animals, the authors must mention in the manuscript methodology the approval number of the ethics committee of the responsible institution.

approval by the Ethics Committee may be requested during the review process.

Figures should be used only to present specific points or record data, and should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. The location should be indicated in parentheses after the first citation in the text, for example, (Insert Figure 1 here).
  2. Tables should be logically organized and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. They should have a concise and explanatory title. The caption should provide information and explain possible abbreviations and statistical characters, helping the reader to read the data presented. Avoid using location and date.
  3. Figures and Tables must be inserted in the position in which they should appear in the text and also sent in separate files.

Format

Figures must be saved in .jpg, .png or .tiff format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Figures must be written in Times New Roman font, size 10, without bold; they must be saved as a single file, in the indicated format. Images without text boxes and grouped images will not be allowed.

Tables should be written in a text editor such as Word and saved in .doc or .docx format. Use only horizontal lines to separate the header from the content and at the end of the table.

Different formats and files will not be accepted.

Indicate, throughout the text, the position in which figures and tables should be inserted.

It is recommended not to present tables of statistical analysis results.

Chemical equations, symbols and formulas

Equations cited in the text must be numbered serially and in parentheses (Equation 1). The equation numbering (Eq. 1) must be aligned to the right of the text. Below the equation, identify the symbols with the units. Do not insert equations in figure format; use the “equations” tool in Microsoft Word.

Chemical Symbols and Formulas must be created in a processor that allows formatting for the Indesign program (e.g. MathType and Equation), without losing their original shapes.

Units

  • The following should be adopted:International System (IS)to indicate the units.
  • Use space between the number and the base units: meter, second, ampere, volt (e.g.: 6 m, 10 s) and also between the time and volume units (e.g.: 8 min, 9 L).
  • Correct form for temperature: °C, separated from the quantity (70 °C).
  • Correct form for percentages (%): there is no space after the numeral (e.g.: 50% and 60%).
  • Concentration units should be presented in the format: mg L-1; mL L-1; g L-1;
  • Do not start a sentence with numbers.
  • Numbers below ten must be written out in full. Exceptions: units of measurement, age, time, dates, page numbers, percentages, values ​​and proportions.
  • Write in numeral form whenever two or more are in the same period. Never mix numbers with numerals (in full).
  • For numbers with more than five or six zero digits at the end, use numbers followed by words (e.g., 3 million instead of 3,000,000)

Trade names

Do not use commercial names of products, but rather the technical name and/or active ingredient.

Footers

Avoid using footers as much as possible. If their use is essential, they should be numbered.
