It is unethical to submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. This causes a waste of time for editors and peer reviewers and can damage the reputation of the authors and the journals, if the paper is published in more than one journal, the later publication will be retracted.

​Paper Submission Guidelines for Authors:

A separate cover letter of declaration must be submitted as part of the review process.

Please download and fill up the cover letter of declaration and send the scanned copy for each submission of the manuscript.

The cover letter of declaration can be downloaded from here. 

Please download and fill up the cover letter of declaration and send the scanned copy for each submission of the manuscript

​Redundant publications (or ‘salami’): Publishing many similar manuscripts based on the same experiment, which are to be rejected if suspected by the editors.

​The plagiarism check of each paper is to be done. All the papers should be submitted in original. 

Once the paper manuscript is received, an acknowledgment will be sent with a paper number and the paper will be placed for review. Two or more experts will review all manuscripts.

Papers should not exceed 10%, plagiarism. Although, for each paper, the plagiarism report will be analyzed, and feedback to be given depends on the respective reports. ​

​The journal’s research editions are published in March, June, September, and December.

The journal publishes full research papers, which are relevant to agricultural sciences. We also publish reviews and notes, which have been done critically.

​Plagiarism needs to be avoided in the paper. 

​As given below, these three sections are mandatory for all review papers, followed by appropriate section headings depending on the review discussion:

• Abstract, Introduction, Keyword (Preferably five).
• References (to be enlisted at the end of the paper).

Full research papers should have the following sections:

• Abstract, Keywords (preferably five), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, and References.

​Positions of all figures and tables need to be indicated serially in the text. Impersonal figures are fine. However, all personal figures (with the person’s face) need to be deleted/cropped in the paper or will be done by the editor.

Avoid papers with more than 8-16 pages including tables and figures. All manuscripts should have a title, names of authors, respective designations, and addresses (including e-mail addresses) on the first page above the abstract. There should be a separate section for an acknowledgment after results and discussion and before references.

​Send your paper in A4-sized MS Word format. Manuscript must be typed in a single column with double (2.0) lined spaced in Times Roman Font (Size: 12).

Figures and tables are preferable to be in separate MS Word file(s).

All the figures should be colored with high resolution.

All the tables should be in editable text and should not be photographed.

Positions of all figures and tables need to be indicated (referred to) serially in the text. Figures and tables should be numbered with captions accordingly such as no. 1 should be first, then no. 2, no.  3 and so on.

​Papers should be prepared with all original and adequate experimental data and plagiarism must be avoided.

The guidelines for short notes are the same as the main articles. The only differences are (1) to report anything observed during the main project, which is worth communicating immediately, and (2) to fix the claim for the first reporting of any observation of significance at the earliest opportunity.

​Figure and table indications in text to be given as shown in the example below:

1. The trait cob weight also differed significantly among the parental lines (Table 1). It was ranged from 114.33 (MAI-729) to 54.27(DH-376) with a mean of 85.79 grams. Similarly, significant differences were observed among the parental lines of promising maize hybrids for a number of rows per cob (Table 2).
2. The symptoms in tea (Camellia sinensis) was seen on the stem as rough roundish to irregular galls (Fig 1). In coffee (Coffea arabica) symptoms were seen as necrotic lesion emerging from the margin with yellow halo in diseased leaves (Fig 2).

Citations in text and respective enlisted references to be given in the paper as suggested below:

…due to water stress has been well documented in previous studies of various crop plants, including tomato (Kıran et al. 2014, Alp and Kabay 2017b). The effect of mannitol-mediated water stress on growth parameters has also been reported in broccoli sprouts (Kiani et al. 2018). 

​All listed references need to be cited following author-year system in the text and in alphabetical order (Last name first and first name last) under the ‘References’ list at the end of the paper.

​Please avoid and delete references / citations with more than 10 years old; it is highly recommended to cite and enlist most recent references on the paper, except any unavoidable references like related to formula, procedure, method. 

• Please recheck year of the reference, author names’ spelling in text-citations with their respective enlisting. References that are cited in text and the references enlisted should be the same with 100% match.
• Respective available DOI information of all the enlisted references of the paper should be mentioned.
