Aims :
CROP RESEARCH is a partially openly accessible international journal, which mean that abstracts of published papers are openly accessible all the time. The aim of this journal is to provide a platform for scientists, researchers and students all over the globe to promote, share and discuss various new issues and developments in basic and applied aspects of agronomy, crop sciences, horticulture, vegetables, medicinal plants, post-harvest technology, food technology, soil science, plant protection etc.
!! MANUSCRIPTS SUBMITTED for publication must show significance to a crop system and offer new understanding valuable to scientists, researchers and students studying other crops or the same crop in different production conditions.
!! SUBMITTED MANUSCRIPTS must be previously unpublished and may not be considered for publication elsewhere simultaneously during Crop Research’s review process period. Normally, final PDF copies of complete published papers are uploaded on the website before the printed hard copies are released.
!! CRITERIA TO EVALUATE SUBMITTED PAPERS FOR CONSIDERATION TO PUBLISH IN CROP RESEARCH:
1) Manuscripts should report data from field conditions and include background conditions of locations and/or years on which conclusions are drawn.
2) Studies based on controlled conditions or isolated plants are normally not accepted, unless the discussion demonstrates the approximation of conclusions to field crops.
3) Studies that are of primarily local interest not considered for publication.
