Aims and Scopes

The journal VITIS serves as a critical platform for the dissemination of research aimed at enhancing our understanding of viticulture and enology. It focuses on the genetic, physiological, and environmental aspects of grapevines, as well as the technological advancements in grape breeding and wine production.
  1. Genetic and Genomic Studies:
    Research exploring grapevine genetics, molecular characterization, and breeding strategies to improve disease resistance and enhance grape quality.
  2. Ecophysiology and Environmental Interactions:
    Studies investigating the physiological responses of grapevines to environmental stresses, such as water deficit, salinity, and temperature variations.
  3. Viticultural Practices and Innovations:
    Research focused on viticultural techniques, including soil management, irrigation practices, and the use of technology for precision viticulture.
  4. Diversity and Conservation of Grape Varieties:
    Investigations into the genetic diversity of grapevine varieties, conservation efforts, and the exploration of traditional and heritage cultivars.
  5. Pathology and Pest Management:
    Research addressing grapevine diseases, pest interactions, and the development of sustainable management practices to mitigate their impact.
  6. Wine Quality and Sensory Analysis:
    Studies assessing the chemical composition of grapes and wines, their sensory characteristics, and the influence of viticultural practices on wine quality.
The journal VITIS has witnessed a notable shift towards several trending and emerging themes, reflecting contemporary challenges and advancements in the field of viticulture and enology.
  1. Biotechnological Applications in Viticulture:
    An increasing focus on biotechnological approaches, such as RNA interference and genetic modification, to enhance grapevine resistance to diseases and pests.
  2. Climate Change Adaptation Strategies:
    Research addressing the impacts of climate change on grapevine cultivation, including studies on abiotic stress tolerance and the adaptation of grape varieties to changing climates.
  3. Precision Agriculture and Technological Innovations:
    Growing interest in the application of technology in viticulture, including the use of sensors, data analytics, and modeling for improved grapevine management.
  4. Sustainable Practices and Organic Viticulture:
    A trend towards sustainability in viticulture, with research exploring organic practices, soil health, and environmentally friendly pest management strategies.
  5. Functional Foods and Health Benefits of Grapes:
    Emerging studies investigating the health benefits of grape compounds, expanding the scope of research beyond traditional winemaking to include functional food applications.

Declining or Waning

While VITIS continues to grow in several key areas, certain themes have shown a decline in focus over recent years. This may reflect shifts in research priorities or the maturation of existing knowledge within those domains.
  1. Traditional Winemaking Techniques:
    Research exploring traditional methods of winemaking has decreased, possibly as a result of increased interest in modern techniques and innovations that enhance efficiency and quality.
  2. General Agronomy Studies:
    Broader studies on agronomy not specifically related to grapevines have been less prominent, indicating a more specialized focus on viticulture-specific research.
  3. Non-scientific or Anecdotal Reports:
    The prevalence of non-scientific articles or anecdotal findings has waned, suggesting a move towards more rigorous, data-driven research methodologies.
