As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Crop and Pasture Science supports its core practices and is committed to transparency in scholarly publishing.

SCOPECrop and Pasture Science is an international journal publishing outcomes of strategic research in crop and pasture sciences and the sustainability of farming systems. The primary focus is broad-scale cereals, grain legumes, oilseeds and pastures. Articles are encouraged that advance understanding in plant-based agricultural systems through the use of well-defined and original aims designed to test a hypothesis, innovative and rigorous experimental design, and strong interpretation.

The journal embraces experimental approaches from molecular level to whole systems, and the research must present novel findings and progress the science of agriculture.
