Aims & Scope

Journal of Central European Agriculture (JCEA) is a peer-reviewed multilingual international scientific journal in agriculture indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection - Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Scopus, Zoological Record, CAB Abstracts, etc. This journal was founded in 1999 and is published regularly in cooperation between universities and scientific institutions from nine member countries from the Central European region: Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and Serbia. Journal is published quarterly in electronic version only. JCEA publishes original scientific papers, reviews, preliminary communications, short communications, and conference papers under a Creative Commons license and does not charge any publishing fees to authors. Social change within the countries of Central Europe has brought major changes in agriculture. The abandonment of central planning and the introduction of the open market have created a need for the quickest possible exchange of knowledge. All countries in transition have similar problems; so a logical step is to create a shared journal. The beginning of a new millennium and the spreading of new electronic technologies creates new fields of publishing and easier access to knowledge from remote places. Besides a need for knowledge, there is a need to share problems and solutions with our neighbours but it is also equally important to keep and develop our national languages and identities. We have tried to combine such contradictory problems in one unifying electronic agricultural journal for Central and Eastern Europe. Not less important intention is to ease the demand on the present West European journals in agriculture, and to give opportunity and encouragement to Central European scientists to publish faster. The multilingual strategy of the journal accepts the world intention to preserve and support the development of national languages. The Journal publishes original articles, rapid communication of information and proceedings of scientific meetings in English, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak and Slovenian. Aims and scope General agriculture Animal science Plant science Environment in relation to agricultural production, land use and wildlife management Agricultural economics and rural development
