SJI welcomes manuscripts from researchers and writers in all disciplines. Each submission is reviewed by three to seven peer reviewers with final decisions reported to the author within four weeks. If your paper is accepted for publication, you will be asked to submit the License to Publish agreement along with a processing fee of $99.95 (add $99.95 for each additional author).  Why is this fee necessary?

Please click the link General Guidelines and read the section at the end of the page titled Why We Charge a Processing Fee. Unlike some traditional and online journals, we do not charge a submission fee for reviewing a manuscript for publication consideration.


1. Submit your material to SJI Editor (info@scientificjournals.org) as email attachments.  The email subject should be Submission to Journal of Forestry, Horticulture, and Soil Science.

2. Your paper may follow any style manual (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).

3. The article must be your original work and should not have been published elsewhere.

4. The length of the article should not exceed 50 pages including tables, graphs, diagrams, photographs and equations. 

5. Cover Page
Include a cover page as a separate file attachment (it should NOT be in the same file that contains your manuscript). To facilitate anonymous reviews, indication of authorship should appear only on this page.  This separate cover page must contain the following information.

Title of paper
Names of authors
Academic departments or disciplines of authors
Institutional affiliations of authors
Positions of Authors
Mailing addresses
Email addresses
Telephone numbers

Name of the journal where the paper should be published if accepted. To check the currently available journals go to Current Issue.

Desired field of reviewers.  Since each of our broad journals covers multiple fields or disciplines, we need to ensure that your manuscript is sent to reviewers in your specific field.  Please specify your desired field of reviewers.

6. Manuscript
Include your manuscript as a separate file attachment. At the beginning of the article, state the title of the manuscript. Below the title, state "Submitted to the Journal of ...(name of journal)." Then include an abstract (no more than 100 words). At the end, include a reference section. Do not include an "acknowledgement section" in your paper (you can do so later if your paper is accepted for publication). Your manuscript must be edited and polished to high professional standards. Extremely poor quality work with numerous grammatical errors will not be sent out for peer reviews.
