ISHS is the world's leading independent organization of horticulturists involved in research, science-based information exchange and collaboration to support sustainable innovation in horticulture. ISHS's publishing portfolio includes two open access, peer-reviewed journals, European Journal of Horticultural Science (eJHS) and Fruits, the International Journal of Tropical and Subtropical Horticulture.

The partnership will facilitate the development of ISHS journal publishing activities and enable ISHS journal titles to join CABI's growing journals portfolio on the CABI Digital Library.

"We are delighted to work with CABI's experienced journals team to make our global horticultural research even more accessible," said Francois Laurens, President, ISHS. "The CABI Digital Library offers an international platform, rich in horticulture and plant science, which is important to our mission of nurturing and deploying scientific knowledge to create a better world."
"The ISHS was born from a realisation that an exchange of views and experience should be promoted internationally in order to globalise the national or even regional efforts of horticultural scientists," observed Yao-Chien Alex Chang, ISHS Board member – Publications. "I am confident that joining forces with CABI to publish and disseminate contemporary research will reflect and strengthen this guiding principle."
"We are very pleased to welcome ISHS, CABI's first society partner for journals," commented Erika Newton, Journals Publisher, CABI. "We work with a number of societies and always support our partners in consolidating and developing their publications according to their needs and aspirations."
CABI endorses the Transfer Code of Practice and will follow the best practice guidelines set out in the Code for the transfer of ISHS titles to CABI. Librarians and other interested parties may like to consult the Transfer Alerting Service and sign up for notifications including in relation to this transfer.
Under the new agreement, Fruits will cease to be published from 2025, but all back content will be migrated to CABI. Consequently, the aims and scope of eJHS will be expanded to include a more global focus and tropical and subtropical content to better support the community that was previously served by Fruits.
Renato Paiva, Professor at Universidade Federal de Lavras in Brazil, will continue to lead eJHS as Editor-in-Chief. Professor Paiva is already familiar with CABI having previously authored a book chapter in Dragon Fruit.
"I am lucky to lead eJHS at this exciting moment in its development," commented Renato Paiva, Editor-in-Chief, eJHS. "Fruits has long been a much-loved journal, but I look forward to bringing colleagues together to report and celebrate all aspects of horticulture in one place. eJHS will represent all ISHS members and global horticultural research."
Members of ISHS in good standing will continue to receive a 25% discount on the article processing charge (APC). Furthermore, ISHS and CABI will continue to support authors from low-income countries utilising the Research4Life discounts and waivers that are available.

From September 1, 2024, new submissions to eJHS will open on the CABI Digital Library using ScholarOne.
From this date, ISHS will no longer accept new submissions for either eJHS or Fruits through its currently existing channels, but will continue to process papers already submitted.

"eJHS is the official, peer-reviewed journal of the ISHS", said François Laurens, ISHS President. "Building on its past success, as we embark upon this exciting new phase of development, we encourage our members to support this new initiative".
Further information and updates will be shared in due course.
