In just over three years since their inception, these journals have demonstrated exceptional quality and scholarly value, leading to their indexing in one of the world’s most reputable academic databases. The recognition by Web of Science is a testament to the rigorous peer-review processes, innovative research content, and editorial excellence maintained by our publishing team and collaborating scholars.

The five journals that have achieved ESCI indexing are:

1. Fruit Research (https://www.maxapress.com/frures): Focuses on cutting-edge developments in all areas of fruit science, focuses on publishing basic and translational research with a broad impact in fruit science. 

2. Vegetable Research (https://www.maxapress.com/vegres): Specializes in interdisciplinary research spanning all areas of vegetable research, including genetics, breeding, omics, biotechnology, developmental biology, interactions with the abiotic and biotic environments, as well as production and pre-and post-harvest issues.

3. Ornamental Plant Research (https://www.maxapress.com/opr): Dedicated to representing significant advances or new insights into our understanding of specialized areas of ornamental plants.

4. Grass Research (https://www.maxapress.com/grares): Provides insights into the latest innovations in mechanistic aspects of plant biology and interactions with environments and microorganisms for grass species in natural ecosystems or cultivated systems.

5. Forestry Research (https://www.maxapress.com/forres): Focuses on major forest species, including but not limited to timber, ornamental, economic, and ecological trees.

Significance of ESCI Indexing

Being indexed in ESCI signifies that these journals meet the high standards of editorial quality, content relevance, and citation impact set by Web of Science. This status not only enhances their discoverability but also positions them for potential indexing in higher-ranked databases such as the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI).

Future Outlook

Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate that the five journals will achieve their first Impact Factors and subject rankings, further solidifying their place within the global academic community. This achievement will provide a strong foundation for continued growth and influence in their respective fields.
