Agriculture Communications

Agriculture Communications is an open access journal that covers all basic and applied research dealing with agriculture science. The journal also considers research integrating various disciplines and issues within the broad fields of Crop science, Horticultural science, Plant protection, Animal science and veterinary medicine, Smart agriculture, Food science and technology, Agricultural resources and environment, Agricultural economics and development, and Aquaculture and fisheries science. Papers on important methodological developments relevant for agriculture will be considered as well. The aim of the journal is to widely disseminate emerging scientific findings to researchers in various agricultural disciplines.

The journal is fully dedicated to fair, rigorous, independent peer review. The journal will publish full length articles, reviews, short communications and editorials in first years of activity. As the journal evolves, other article types will be included.
