International Journal of Agricultural Studies and Research
The International Journal of Agricultural Studies and Research (IJASR) follows a double-blind peer review process to maintain fairness, confidentiality, and academic quality. The identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential during the review process.
Upon submission, each manuscript is initially examined by the Editorial Office to determine whether it falls within the journal's scope and meets the basic requirements for publication. Suitable manuscripts are sent to at least two independent reviewers for evaluation.
Based on the reviewers' comments and recommendations, the Editorial Board makes the final decision to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript. Authors are informed of the decision and provided with relevant reviewer comments. When revisions are required, authors must address the comments before the manuscript can be considered for acceptance.
IJASR uses a double-blind peer review system in which authors and reviewers do not know each other's identities. Author-identifying information is removed from the review copy wherever possible.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on originality, relevance, research methodology, accuracy, clarity, and contribution to the field of Agricultural Sciences and related disciplines.
The Editorial Board makes the final publication decision after considering the reviewers' recommendations. The journal aims to ensure an impartial and confidential review process for every submission.
IJASR is committed to providing open access to its published research. Readers can access and read published articles without subscription barriers. Articles may be downloaded and shared in accordance with the applicable licence terms, with proper attribution to the authors and the original publication.
IJASR does not accept plagiarism, duplicate publication, or the unauthorised use of another person's work. All manuscripts must be original, and authors must properly acknowledge sources used in their research.
Submitted manuscripts may be checked for plagiarism. Manuscripts containing plagiarism or other forms of publication misconduct may be rejected. If misconduct is identified after publication, the journal may take appropriate corrective action in accordance with its policies.
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made substantial contributions to the research, preparation, or development of the manuscript.
All listed authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission to IJASR. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of their work. Any changes to authorship must be approved by all concerned authors and the journal.
IJASR welcomes complaints concerning its editorial decisions, publication process, ethical practices, or journal operations. Complaints should be submitted to the journal's editorial office by email or through the official contact channel.
The journal will review complaints fairly and confidentially and will make reasonable efforts to resolve them promptly. Complaints involving publication ethics will be handled in accordance with applicable editorial policies and recognised publication ethics principles.

All cases will be assessed carefully, and appropriate action will be taken in line with recognised publication ethics guidance, including that of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
