Editorial review and processing

Peer Reviewed. All submitted manuscripts are screened by the Scientific Editor for importance, substance, appropriateness for the Journal, general scientific quality and the amount of new information provided. Those failing to meet current standards are rejected without further review. Those meeting these initial standards are sent to expert referees for peer review. The identities of referees and authors are not disclosed to each other (double blind review). Referee comments are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board (after allowing the author to make changes in response to the referees’ comments) and the Editor-in-Chief then either accepts or rejects the manuscript and informs the corresponding author of the final decision. However, publication is subject to successful completion of any follow-up requested by the native-speaking English Editor. The acceptance process ordinarily is completed within 4–6 months. However, if the corresponding author respond to any requests quickly, then this process will take less time.

Rejected manuscripts. Rejected manuscripts, including original illustrations and photographs, will be returned to authors. Authors must understand that the main aim of the submission-to-publication process is to improve the overall quality of the authors’ work. They should take rejections positively and use the reviewers’ comments to improve their manuscripts. Before sending the manuscript, it is the duty of the author(s) to understand the scope of the Journal and make sure the topic of the manuscript fulfills the Journal’s requirements. This will avoid unnecessary delays.

Accepted manuscripts. It is essential that the corresponding author replies promptly to any e-mail received from the Journal. After format checking and English editing have been completed, the article proof file will be e-mailed to the corresponding author. The corresponding author will be required to review the article proof and reply to the Journal within 24 hours. Only then will the article be scheduled for publication. The corresponding author is responsible for all statements appearing in the proof file.

Publication Ethics - Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANRES)

These ethical guidelines have been adapted from ethical principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). They serve as a framework for ensuring ethical conduct in research, writing, and peer review processes within the Agriculture and Natural Resources.

Ethical Guidelines for Authors

These guidelines help promote integrity, transparency, and responsible behavior among authors in academic publishing. They serve as a reference for authors to maintain high ethical standards throughout the research and publication process. The ethical guidelines for authors cover seven topics:

1. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors should ensure that their work is original and properly acknowledge the work of others through citations in the Acknowledgements section. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable.

2. Multiple Submissions: Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Simultaneous submissions can lead to issues of duplicate publication, which is unethical.

3. Authorship and Acknowledgments: All individuals who have made a substantial contribution to the research should be listed as authors. Others who have contributed in a smaller capacity should be acknowledged appropriately.

4. Data Integrity: Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the research presented. Fabrication, falsification, or selective reporting of data is unethical.

5. Conflicts of Interest: Authors should disclose any financial or personal relationships that might influence the research or its interpretation.

6. Ethical Review and Consent: Authors should ensure that their research involving humans or animals has been conducted ethically, following appropriate guidelines and obtaining necessary approvals. Informed consent must be obtained from participants. ANRES requests the submission of copies of informed consent from human subjects in clinical studies or IRB approval documents.

7. Disclosure of Funding Sources: Authors should disclose the sources of financial support for their research and any potential conflicts of interest related to funding.
