Overview

The Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment (JSAE) is a fully open access journal, publishing high quality, original research, review and opinion papers in all areas of agriculture and environmental sciences and relevant policies. We explicitly encourage submissions on mechanistic understanding, sustainable approaches, and emerging tools to fill current gaps in the publishing industry. JSAE particularly welcomes glasshouse and field experiments which have been set-up to understand mechanisms of interactions between plant and soils that increases productivity and reduces environmental impacts.

Aims and Scope

The scope of the journal includes:

  1. All aspects of agriculture production
  2. Agroecology
  3. Protected cropping
  4. Sustainable technologies
  5. Emerging technological applications, including biotechnology, remote sensing, data mining, machine learning, and robotics
  6. Environmental science, including agriculture impacts on environment

The journal publishes special issues on themes that are of general interest to readers. However, all submissions will go through a rigorous peer review process. Scientists and readers are encouraged to contact the editorial board to discuss feasibility to organise a special issue, where appropriate.

The Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment aims to provide a rapid publication service to authors. The journal adopts a gold open access model and will attract a USD$2,200 Article Publication Charge, which can be funded from author research grants. There is potential to adopt a small range of prices (according to content type) with waivers for authors who can demonstrate an inability to pay from selected developing countries. You can read more about this initiative, here.

The journal encourages publication of the data associated with research papers by supporting links to open data. The journal expects a high impact factor however, seeks balance with goals to publish valuable and credible research that expands the knowledge base in Agriculture and Environment. The impact of published papers will be promoted and monitored via social and print media where appropriate.
