Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is an open-access journal published by Springer Nature under its SpringerOpen imprint, launched in 2014 and devoted to the chemistry and biochemistry that underpin agricultural production, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.8.《农业中的化学与生物技术》（Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture）由（Springer Nature）以（SpringerOpen）品牌开放获取出版，2014 年创刊，聚焦支撑农业生产的化学与生物化学研究，2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8。

Scope

• The journal is an international, interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed forum for carrying modern chemical, biochemical and molecular technology into every branch of agriculture.本刊是国际性、跨学科、同行评审的论坛，致力于把现代化学、生物化学与分子技术引入农业的各个分支。
• Chemical and biochemical processes that raise sustainable agricultural and food production sit at the centre of the remit.提升农业与食品生产可持续性的化学与生物化学过程，处于收稿范围的中心。
• Work on the quality and geographical origin of raw primary products, and on their conversion into foods and chemicals, is welcomed.关于初级原料的品质与产地，以及其转化为食品与化学品的稿件，均在欢迎之列。
• Environmental monitoring and remediation complete the applied side of the coverage.环境监测与环境修复构成本刊应用性的一面。
• Particular attention goes to chemical and biochemical effects at the nano and supramolecular scale on the relationships between soil, plants, microorganisms and their surroundings.纳米与超分子尺度上的化学与生物化学效应如何影响土壤、植物、微生物及其环境之间的关系，尤受关注。
• Modern bioinformatics is treated as a supporting tool for that work rather than as a subject in its own right.现代生物信息学被视为支撑上述研究的手段，而非独立的收稿主题。
• Bioorganic chemistry for plant nutrition and biostimulation, biomass-fed biorefineries, traceable food, carbon storage in soil and plants, and the return of contaminated land to farming are named priorities.面向植物营养与生物刺激的生物有机化学、以生物质为原料的生物炼制、可追溯食品、土壤与植物固碳，以及污染土地复耕，均被列为重点方向。

History

• The title was launched in 2014 under SpringerOpen, the open-access imprint of Springer, and has appeared without interruption since.本刊于 2014 年在（Springer）的开放获取品牌（SpringerOpen）下创刊，此后连续出版。
• It used article numbering from the first volume instead of page ranges, so accepted papers enter a single annual volume as soon as they are ready.自首卷起即采用文章编号而不设连续页码，录用稿件一旦就绪即进入当年唯一一卷。
• Alessandro Piccolo of the University of Naples Federico II, a specialist in soil and humic chemistry, was the founding editor-in-chief.创始主编为那不勒斯费德里科二世大学的 Alessandro Piccolo，其专长为土壤化学与腐殖质化学。
• Publication is funded by an article processing charge of 2,790 United States dollars, 2,190 pounds or 2,390 euros, and papers appear under CC BY or CC BY-NC-ND.出版由文章处理费支撑，标准为 2790 美元、2190 英镑或 2390 欧元，论文以（CC BY）或（CC BY-NC-ND）协议发表。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.8, against 5.2 in 2024, 4.839 in 2022 and 2.792 in 2021, and the five-year figure stands at 6.6.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8，2024 年为 5.2，2022 年为 4.839，2021 年为 2.792，五年影响因子为 6.6。
• In the 2025 Journal Citation Reports it ranks 16th of 95 titles in agriculture, multidisciplinary, and it is indexed in SCIE, Scopus, DOAJ and CAB Abstracts.在 2025 年期刊引证报告中，本刊位列农业多学科类 95 种期刊的第 16 位（Q1），并被（SCIE）、（Scopus）、（DOAJ）与（CAB Abstracts）收录。

Editors

• Panagiotis Madesis, associate professor at the University of Thessaly and a collaborating professor at the Institute of Applied Biosciences of CERTH in Thessaloniki, is editor-in-chief.现任主编为色萨利大学副教授 Panagiotis Madesis，他同时是塞萨洛尼基（CERTH）应用生物科学研究所的合作教授。
• His own research covers plant molecular biology under biotic and abiotic stress, marker-assisted breeding, genotyping and the authentication of origin-labelled foods.其本人的研究涵盖生物与非生物胁迫下的植物分子生物学、分子标记辅助育种、基因分型，以及地理标志食品的真伪鉴别。
• Some forty associate editors handle manuscripts, coming from Italy, China, Germany, France, Brazil, India, Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Russia and Mexico.约四十位副编辑负责稿件处理，分别来自意大利、中国、德国、法国、巴西、印度、西班牙、英国、澳大利亚、加拿大、比利时、俄罗斯与墨西哥。
• The board is deliberately mixed, spanning soil science, plant physiology, analytical and environmental chemistry, nanotechnology and chemical engineering, with members from universities, public institutes and industry.编委会刻意保持学科混合，覆盖土壤学、植物生理学、分析与环境化学、纳米技术及化学工程，成员来自高校、公共研究机构与产业界。
• SpringerOpen editorial policy applies, including COPE guidance on authorship and competing interests, and the median submission-to-first-decision time was three days in 2025.期刊执行（SpringerOpen）的编辑政策，包括（COPE）关于作者身份与利益冲突的指引，2025 年投稿至首次决定的中位时间为 3 天。
• Original research, short letters and invited reviews are accepted, and the editor-in-chief regularly marks out an Editor's Choice selection from published papers.收稿类型为原创研究、短篇快报与约稿综述，主编还会定期从已发表论文中遴选“编辑精选”。
