After all the hardships that usually accompany the creation of such a magazine, I am writing the editorial for the first issue with great expectations.
Social and economical changes of the central European countries in transition have brought major changes in agriculture, too. Instead of planned agriculture, the rules of the open market made demands for a very quick exchange of information and knowledge. Thus, the problems of countries in transition being similar, starting off the common journal seamed only natural.
At the beginning of the new millennium, advanced electronic technologies offer new, until recently unthinkable possibilities of disseminating information to the most remote places of the globe. To be able to share the knowledge in agriculture, the internationalization is necessary. At the same time every nation has the urge to cherish and preserve its national language. In an effort to reconcile these contrasting tendencies, we thought the common international electronic Journal on Central European Agriculture might provide an answer.
As seen from the first issue, Journal's Editorial Board is made up of three Croatian, three Hungarian and three Slovak members. The papers are published in English and/or in the language of the first author. If written in the language of the author, the mutual understanding is made sure of by bilingual description of tables and illustrations and detailed prolonged abstract in English.
The journal is intended for original scientific papers, short scientific communication and review papers on all aspects of sustainable agriculture. The scientists working on agricultural scientific and research programs in their middle and eastern European countries in transition are welcome to submit their research results to JCEA.
