Practical guides for researchers publishing in agriculture, food science and nutrition — written by the editorial staff of the International Journal of Agriculture and Nutrition from what actually comes up during review. They deal with the parts of publishing that are rarely taught: what editors and reviewers look for, where manuscripts commonly fall down, and what terms like indexing, DOI, ISSN and open access really mean in practice.
Everything published in this section is listed above. Each guide stands on its own, so there is no order to follow — open whichever one matches the question you have.
A guide explains how something generally works in academic publishing. It does not override what this journal requires. Where the two differ, the journal’s own pages decide.
For the journal’s own rules rather than general guidance, go to the instructions to authors for format and submission steps, the publication policy for how review works here, the plagiarism policy for similarity limits, and the archives to see published papers.
