The African Crop Science Journal was established with the primary objective of providing a forum for presentation and review of research results on Tropical Crop Science that can be readily accessed by researchers and development leaders in Africa and other developing countries, and all those concerned with agricultural development issues in the region. The most important characteristic of the Journal is that it addresses in an integrated manner all aspects of Crop Science and Production.

The Journal publishes original research papers dealing with Crop Agronomy, Production, Genetics and Breeding, Germplasm, Crop Protection, Soil Sciences, Postharvest Systems and Utilization, Agroforestry, Crop-Animal Interactions, Environmental Issues and Agricultural Information.

The Journal also publishes authoritative reviews on various aspects of Crop Science, Agricultural Development, and the Environment, usually by invitation, and "Short Communications" dealing with original results not warranting publication as full papers. It has a book review and advertisement sections. To encourage dialogue on topical issues, the Journal has a "Forum Section" where issues of current contention in crop production, including socioeconomics and rural development, will be discussed.

All opinions, and articles published in the Journal reflect views of the authors and not necessarily those of the African Crop Science Journal. Submission of a paper implies that it has not been submitted or published elsewhere, and that the authors accept the conditions for publication outlined in the Journal. Once accepted for publication, authors transfer copyright of their articles to the African Crop Science Journal, unless expressly exempted in writing by the copyright holders.
