Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Submission Preparation Checklist

Articles

  • Submissions undergo initial editorial screening.

  • Suitable manuscripts are sent to at least two independent peer reviewers.

  • Final acceptance is based on reviewers’ recommendations and editor's decision.

  • Published under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0).

Review Articles

Review Articles provide comprehensive, systematic, and critical summaries of current knowledge, recent advances, emerging trends, or key debates within agricultural sciences, sustainability, crop production, agri-innovation, and related fields. These articles synthesize findings from multiple studies to offer readers clarity, depth, and critical insights.

  • Submissions undergo initial editorial screening for relevance and originality.

  • Suitable review manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two independent expert reviewers.

  • Review articles should clearly define scope, critically assess the literature, highlight gaps, and provide recommendations for future research.

  • Published under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0).

Short Communications

Short Communications are concise but complete articles reporting novel, preliminary, or significant findings in agricultural sciences, crop production, sustainability, agri-innovation, and related disciplines. These brief reports facilitate rapid dissemination of important research outcomes and timely innovations.

  • Manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening for originality, clarity, and significance.

  • Peer-reviewed by at least two independent experts in the relevant field.

  • Emphasis is on brevity, rapid publication, and clarity of communication.

  • Published under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0).

Technical Notes

Technical Notes present concise but detailed descriptions of innovative methods, new technologies, software applications, experimental techniques, protocols, or improvements in existing methodologies relevant to agriculture, crop production, sustainability, and agri-environmental sciences. These notes provide practical insights that significantly enhance research capabilities or agricultural practices.

  • Manuscripts undergo editorial screening to assess originality, technical validity, and practical significance.

  • Peer-reviewed by at least two independent technical experts.

  • Priority is given to novel, practical methods clearly presented and applicable to agricultural research or practice.

  • Published under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0).

Data Papers

Data Papers present detailed, structured descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets related to agricultural sciences, environmental research, agri-innovation, sustainability, and related fields. The primary purpose is to facilitate dataset discoverability, reuse, and reproducibility of research findings. Data Papers focus on describing datasets clearly and providing information about data collection methods, format, quality, and potential applications.

  • Manuscripts undergo editorial screening for clarity, dataset value, and adherence to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

  • Peer-reviewed by at least two independent data experts or subject specialists.

  • Authors must deposit datasets in a recognized, public data repository (e.g., Zenodo, Figshare, Dryad) and provide a persistent DOI or URL for the dataset.

  • Published under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0).

Viewpoint Articles

Perspective or Viewpoint Articles are scholarly essays that offer fresh insight, expert opinion, or critical commentary on emerging issues, controversial topics, or future directions in agricultural science, sustainability, agri-innovation, policy, or rural development. Unlike full research articles, these contributions are conceptual, reflective, or speculative in nature and aim to stimulate academic discussion and new lines of inquiry.

They may include:

  • Interpretations of current trends or findings

  • Forward-looking research agendas

  • Policy recommendations

  • Thought-provoking theoretical frameworks

  • Commentary on technological or ethical issues in agriculture

Section Policy:

  • Articles may be invited or submitted unsolicited by experts or experienced scholars.

  • All submissions are subject to editorial screening and peer review by at least two reviewers.

  • Authors must demonstrate critical reasoning, original thinking, and evidence-based arguments.

  • These articles do not report original experimental data but may reference prior work extensively.

  • Published under Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0) to ensure broad dissemination and reuse.
