Even with budget restrictions, the journal has been increasingly consolidating itself as a great channel for publishing thematic works in the field of floriculture, ornamental plants and landscaping.

A very important factor of our journal is compliance with the requirements of the main indexers, both national (SciELO) and international (Scopus and Clarivate).

As for Scopus, OH has shown increasing CiteScore indices, which proves the growth and impact of the journal in the scientific community (in 2016 = 0.1; in 2022 = 1.70). On the same basis (Scopus), the highest percentile went from 7th in 2016 to 40th in 2021, proving the consolidation of the journal.
