• It has been online-only and open access since the first volume, which is why it carries a single electronic ISSN, 2307-8553, and no print edition.自首卷起即以纯在线、开放获取方式出版，因此只有电子 ISSN 2307-8553，没有印刷版。

Editors

• Rashid Mehmood Rana of PMAS-Arid Agriculture University in Rawalpindi is editor-in-chief, and the editorial office is reached through the society's Islamabad address.主编为拉瓦尔品第（PMAS-Arid Agriculture University）的 Rashid Mehmood Rana，编辑部通过学会设在伊斯兰堡的地址联系。
• Four section editors divide the subject load, beginning with Muhammad Asif Aziz of the same Rawalpindi university for agriculture and plant sciences.四位分学科编辑分担审稿领域，农业与植物科学由同一所拉瓦尔品第大学的 Muhammad Asif Aziz 负责。
• Muhammad Aamer Mehmood of GC University Faisalabad takes biology, biotechnology and genetic engineering, Qaisar Mahmood of the University of Bahrain takes environmental sciences, and Ovais Omar of the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore takes veterinary and animal sciences.生物学、生物技术与遗传工程由费萨拉巴德（GC University）的 Muhammad Aamer Mehmood 负责，环境科学由巴林大学的 Qaisar Mahmood 负责，兽医与动物科学由拉合尔兽医与动物科学大学的 Ovais Omar 负责。
• The board of 25 members is drawn from Australia, Malaysia, Cuba, Russia, Nepal, Brazil, China, the United States, Tunisia, Egypt, Italy, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, South Africa, Thailand, Bahrain and Pakistan.编委会 25 人，分别来自澳大利亚、马来西亚、古巴、俄罗斯、尼泊尔、巴西、中国、美国、突尼斯、埃及、意大利、英国、尼日利亚、南非、泰国、巴林与巴基斯坦。
• Review is single blind, so referees see author names while authors do not learn who reviewed them, a policy the editor-in-chief has defended as protecting merit-based assessment.评审采用单盲方式，审稿人可见作者姓名，作者不知审稿人身份，主编认为此举有利于按学术价值评判稿件。
• More than half of the board seats are held by researchers based outside Pakistan, which the journal presents as evidence of its international readership.编委会半数以上席位由巴基斯坦境外的研究者担任，期刊以此作为其国际读者基础的佐证。
