Guides for Agriculture and Food Science Authors

These guides are written for authors preparing work for publication in agriculture and food science. Each one answers a single question in full — how journals are scored, what a manuscript has to look like, why papers get rejected, what a DOI actually does — using this journal’s own published requirements rather than general advice.

Where a guide quotes a limit, a charge or a process, that figure comes from the Instructions to Author, the Peer Review and Publication Policy or the Open Access Policy page, and you can check it there. Every guide ends with a short set of frequently asked questions.
