Publication Certificate

A Certificate of Publication will be provided to the authors by "International Journal of Agriculture and Nutrition" after the Publication.

Who Receives a Certificate

A certificate is issued for a paper once it has completed peer review and appeared in a published issue of this agriculture and nutrition journal. It is a record of publication — it is not issued at submission, at acceptance, or while an article is still in press. If your paper is still under review, the status shown on your submission is the right thing to quote, not a certificate.

How the Certificate Is Sent

A certificate will be sent by the post to the address mentioned by the author. Any change in the address should be notified to the journal's office. Postal delivery times vary by country and by season, so allow a reasonable period after the issue goes live before following up. If several authors need a copy, say so in writing to the office rather than assuming; it saves a second round of post.

Check Your Postal Address Before Publication

Most delayed certificates come down to one thing: an address that was correct when the manuscript was submitted and is no longer correct months later. This matters for research students in particular, who often move institution between submission and publication.

• Give a full postal address with the institution name, department, city, state, country and PIN or ZIP code
• Add a contact number where the courier or postal service can reach someone
• If you are likely to move, use an address that will still receive post — a departmental office is safer than a hostel room
• Tell the journal office in writing as soon as an address changes, and mention the article title so the record can be found

The Certificate and the Article Are Two Different Things

For anything that will be verified — a thesis submission, an API or promotion file, a scholarship application — the citable proof of publication is the article itself: the journal name with volume, issue and year, and the Crossref DOI under the prefix 10.33545/26646064. That record is permanent and can be checked by anyone through doi.org or the archives of this journal. The certificate is a paper acknowledgement to keep alongside it, not a replacement for it.

This distinction is worth knowing before a viva or an assessment. A committee that asks for evidence of publication is asking for something it can look up independently. Quote the full citation with the DOI, and attach the certificate only as a supporting document.

If the Certificate Has Not Arrived

Write to the office rather than waiting. Post does go missing, and an address entered years earlier may never have been updated. In your message, state the article title, the corresponding author’s name, the volume and issue in which the paper appeared, and the current postal address in full.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a publication certificate issued?

Only after the paper has completed peer review and appeared in a published issue. It is not issued at submission, at acceptance, or while an article is still in press.

How is the certificate delivered?

By post, to the address given by the author. Delivery times vary by country and season, so allow a reasonable period after the issue goes live before following up.

What should I do if my address has changed?

Tell the journal office in writing as soon as it changes, and mention the article title so the record can be found. Most delayed certificates are caused by an address that was correct at submission and is no longer correct months later.

Can each co-author get a certificate?

If more than one author needs a copy, say so in writing to the office rather than assuming; it saves a second round of post.

Is the certificate proof of publication for a thesis or promotion file?

The citable proof is the article itself: the journal name with volume, issue and year, and the Crossref DOI under the prefix 10.33545/26646064, which anyone can verify through doi.org. The certificate is a supporting document to keep alongside that citation.
