Horticultura Brasileira publishes in English although accepting submissions also in Portuguese and Spanish. Papers are eligible for publication if the first author is a member of the Brazilian Association for Horticultural Science (ABH) or affiliated to a National Horticultural Association which ABH has a Reciprocity Agreement with, having its annual fee paid in any of these situations.

A paper will be eligible for the reviewing process if:
When accepted for reviewing, the corresponding author will receive an e-mail with instructions for paying the processing fee (R$ 120,00 US$ 50.00; E$ 45.00), when first author is affiliated to ABH or sister-associations and has no debts with it, or the Full Processing Fee (R$ 470,00; US$ 180.00; E$ 170.00) when first author is not affiliated. Before entering the reviewing process, all co-authors must have expressed their agreement-on-publishing. Processing fees are not refundable. Paper Structure Authors should refer to the Guide of Style & Format, available in www.horticulturabrasileira.com.br The reviewing process The Editorial Board carries out a preliminary evaluation of the manuscripts, looking at adherence to the journal scope and publication guidelines, technical-scientific relevance, and command of language. The Editorial Board decision (eligible, not eligible) is uploaded in the submission system. If the manuscript is adequate for reviewing, authors are requested to pay the applicable Processing Fee. Next, the manuscript is evaluated by at least two peer reviewers. As soon as we have two reviews, the manuscript is forwarded to the Scientific Editor. The Scientific Editor can either (1) recommend for publishing, (2) ask for modifications, or (3) reject it. In situations 1 and 3, the manuscript is forwarded to the Associate Editor, who holds the responsibility for the final decision. In situation 2, the manuscript returns to author(s), who produce a new version and upload it in the submission system. The Scientific Editor checks the new version and recommend it or not for publication. In both cases, the new version is evaluated by the Associate Editor, for the final decision. The editorial board does not incorporate any changes to the manuscript without author’s approval. Once the paper is accepted, the editorial board sends an electronic copy of the formatted version to the correspondent author who should make any necessary corrections and send it back within 48 hours. In this stage, extensive corrections, in format and content are no longer accepted. Alterations, additions, deletions and editing imply in a new examination of the manuscript by the Editorial Board. Authors are held responsible for any errors and omissions present in the text they returned to the Editorial Board. Authorship To define the manuscript authors, consider the following criteria, based on http://www.biomedcentral.com/about/editorialpolicies#authorship:
The simple collection of data; provision of genotypes, seeds or other inputs; discussion about the experiments or results; as well as the general supervision or funding of the research group, alone, does not justify authorship and should be included in the Acknowledgements. The publishing idiom All papers are published in English. Nevertheless, manuscripts can also be submitted in Portuguese end Spanish. In these cases, when the paper is approved for publication authors can either produce a translated version or authorize the Editorial Board to forward the manuscript to translating. If the translated version provided by authors does not match the language standard required for publication, the Editorial Board will redirect the text for specialized reviewing. Authors should face all costs related to translating and idiomatic reviewing. Page charge Horticultura Brasileira charges R$ 65,00, US$20.00 or E$ 18.00 per page, plus US$ 20.00 or E$ 20.00 to cover the fees of international money transference. Indexing charge Horticultura Brasileira indexes up to 25 bibliographic references per article for free.
