Mission
CSSA’s mission is to discover and apply plant science solutions to improve the human condition. Members work with the vision: “Plant science for a better world.”
CSSA supports its members and mission by providing peer-reviewed publications through the Digital Library [2], educational programs, scientific meetings, recognition and awards, career services, student activities, and science policy initiatives via a Washington, DC office.
Publications
Publications available reach a wide audience with all levels of experience and knowledge, and include textbooks, professional guides, special topics books, multimedia presentations, children's books, and more. A rigorous scientific peer review process is used. All published work is digitized for inclusion in the ACSESS Digital Library.
CSSA also providies peer-reviewed publications through the Digital Library.
Crop Science is the flagship publication of the Crop Science Society of America. It is an international journal in the fields of crop breeding and genetics, crop physiology, and crop production, and a critical outlet for articles describing plant germplasm collections and their use.
Journal of Plant Registrations is the official registration publication of the Crop Science Society of America. It publishes cultivar, germplasm, parental line, genetic stock, and mapping population registrations. The United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Station (USDA-ARS) National Laboratory for Genetic Resource Preservation (NLGRP) works with the Journal of Plant Registrations to safely store voucher specimens and to release these specimens into the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) after a designated period of 5 to 20 years.[3]
Natural Science Education is a cross-disciplinary journal on animal and natural sciences education, and is published by American Society of Agronomy along with several cooperating societies. Articles are written by and for educators in extension, universities, industry, administration, and grades K-12.
The Plant Genome is an open-access, electronic journal that provides readership with a short submission-to-online publication of the latest advances and breakthroughs in plant genomics research.
The Plant Phenome Journal is a transdisciplinary, open-access journal publishing original research, interpretations, and data sets investigating all aspects of plant phenomics. Articles reporting breakthrough research in applications domains and new technological advancements are accepted for review as papers.
Agroecosystem, Geoscience, & Environment is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic journal covering all aspects of agriculture, plant, environmental, and soil sciences. It uses peer review to determine whether a full-length article is technically sound and worthy of inclusion in the published scientific record.
Crop, Forage & Turfgrass Management is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic journal covering all aspects of applied crop, forage and grazinglands, and turfgrass management.
Agriculture & Environmental Letters is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes communications-length, broad-reaching, transformative, and timely research on major scientific, policy, and economic issues that span the entire range of the agricultural and environmental sciences.
Journal of Environmental Quality is published jointly by ASA, CSSA, and SSSA. Papers address anthropogenic impacts on water, soil, and the atmosphere.
Applied Turfgrass Science (published until 2014) is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic journal dedicated to providing timely information to the turfgrass industry through research, review, and informational articles. The scope of these articles encompasses all aspects of the turfgrass industry, but focuses primarily on research and information that is relevant to the practicing turfgrass rofessional.
Crop Management (published until 2014) is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic journal covering all aspects of applied crop management that seeks to serve the crop management profession by providing timely and relevant research information in an easily accessible format.
Forage & Grazinglands (published until 2014) is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic journal covering all aspects of applied forage and grazinglands that seeks to serve the forage and grazinglands profession by providing timely and relevant research information in an easily accessible format.
Journal of Production Agriculture was established in 1988 by American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America. The journal was published from 1988 to 1999. Papers provide production-oriented scientific and technological information on agronomy in accord with other areas of agriculture.
