Description :

Introduction: The CROP RESEARCH (CR) is a scholarly journal owned by the "Agricultural Research Information Centre (ARIC)", Hisar, India. On behalf of ARIC, this journal is published by the Gaurav Publications (Regd.), Hisar, India. It publishes peer reviewed original research and review articles related to Agronomy, Crop Science and Soil Science. It also focuses on crop disease and protection. Articles demonstrating new methods and technologies are welcomed. It provides a valuable platform for researchers, scientists, students and experts to share innovative research. CR is led by eminent Editors and Reviewers who thoroughly review all submissions.

Publication of Regular Issues: The CR is subscription based and regularly published online and print versions. The articles are published in partial open-access format, which means that the abstracts of all published articles are feely available for unlimited access. The PDFs of completely published articles are archived on the website for online purchase. It is published bimonthly and its’ regular three issues are published in the months of March (No. 1 & 2), July (No. 3 & 4) and November (No. 5 & 6).

Publication of Special Issues:

Special Issues should be organized by experts in the field of interest and attract high quality articles. The interested researchers should submit a proposal to the journal’s editorial office. The proposal should include Title, aims and scope, list of guest editors, including their names, affiliations and brief biography of each guest editor, submission deadline, first round of review and publication date.

All proposals for special issues should be forwarded to the journal’s editorial office (info@gauravpublications.com) for approval by the Editorial Board members. Once proposal is accepted, a call-for-papers will be posted on the journal’s website. To ensure the success of a Special Issue, a minimum of 15 manuscripts are required for publication.

Date Formatting

  • Gaurav Publications recommends for writing dates fully in the text to avoid confusion. For example, 20/12/2022 or 20-12-2022 or 20.12.2022 could be 20 December 2022.

Units of Measurement

  • The units of measurement should be presented simply and concisely using the International System of Units (SI).

Preparation of Figures 

  • Instead of tables, figures may be drawn where a large number of values or data are presented. The same data should not be presented in both tables and figures.
  • Line drawings/photographs should contain figure number and description thereof as a footnote of figures.
  • Originals of the figures should not be larger than twice the final size, of good quality.
  • The figures should be sized to fit within the columns of the journal. The extremely small font and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided.
  • Only standard abbreviations should be used. For pesticides names, the first letter should not be capitalized.
  • The trade names should be capitalized. All the weights and measurements must be in SI or metric units.
  • Use kg/ha, or t/ha (if more than 999 kg/ha). Similarly, prefer use of g/ha, mg/kg, mg/L, mg/g, ml/L rather than % or ppm. Do not follow the style kg ha-1 or t ha-1. Use % after numbers, not per-cent, e.g., 7 %. In series or range of measurements, mention the units only at the end e.g., use 20, 60, 100 and 2000C; 30 or 40% more, instead of 20C, 60C, 100C and 200C; 30% or 40% more.
  • Authors should include all figures in MS Word format at the end of text of the manuscript.
  • Figures should not be submitted in separate files. All figures should be cited in the manuscript in a consecutive order.
  • It is the responsibility of the authors to provide any copyright or license information when using figures/ maps that are not owned or created by the author.

Preparation of Tables

  • Each table should be numbered consecutively in the same order as they are mentioned in text.
  • Table numbers followed by the title should be written on the top of table.
  • The title must describe the contents of the table fully and explain any symbol or abbreviation used in it as a footnote, using small letters viz. a, b, c and so on or asterisks.
  • Tables should be self-explanatory but not very large (< 10 and 14 columns in portrait and land scape formats, respectively).
  • The large sized tables should be split into two or more small tables.
  • Use standard abbreviations of units of different parameters in tables.
  • Vertical lines in tables should not be used to separate columns.
  • Horizontal lines in tables should be used only where necessary.

Galley Proofs

  • Corrected proofs must be returned to the publisher within three days of receipt. The publisher will do everything possible to ensure prompt publication.
