Publication ethics represent the core set of rules governing professional relationships among members of the Editorial Board, external reviewers, and authors. The Editorial Board of Plant Genetic Resources strictly adheres to the following principles:

• Total impartiality and fair treatment toward all participants in the creative and publishing workflow.
• Broad application of double-blind peer review, involving highly competent and independent subject-matter experts.
• Continuous advisory support for authors to align submitted manuscripts with the strict formatting, structural, and content standards required by international indexing databases such as Scopus and Web of Science.
