Why Publish with Us?

The ASA, CSSA, and SSSA represent more than 8,000 members dedicated to supporting scientists, educators, industry, government employees, and practitioners around the world. As nonprofit association publishers, we produce the most trusted and well-respected peer-reviewed journals in agronomic sciences, crop sciences, and soil science. Publishing with professional societies allows for reinvestment in your field through missioned-based programs.

As an author, you are selective when choosing a publisher for your research. You consider a journal’s scope, rejection rate, publication timeline and more, but your decision to publish with society-based journals benefits your scientific community. The ASA, CSSA and SSSA support all levels of education, provide awards and fellowships, maintain professional certification programs, and guide science policy while impacting all areas of the sciences.

The Societies currently publish thirteen journals, including six open access journals, as well as monographs and book series across a variety of subjects. The Wiley Online Library, which hosts our content, reaches millions of readers all over the world. Our journals are indexed in Google Scholar, Web of Science, CrossRef, Scopus, Agricola, CABI, and more for increased discoverability.

The Societies are members of STM, Clockss, COPE, ALPSP, and SocPC.
