Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Agriculture and Environment

The series Agriculture and Environment publishes exclusively original research papers, review papers, and in some cases technological descriptions (provided that new methods are presented) in various fields of agriculture – with specific focus on plant breeding and protection – and environment, including management, protection, and evaluation.  We particularly encourage empirical field studies addressing cross-scale interactions between agricultural practices and their environment. Papers must have well-elaborated methods, including well-designed replications over the seasons and years. Review papers must have well-documented and current data, including meta-analyses. New methods that include well-designed and modern technologies are encouraged.  All manuscripts are initially screened on their topic suitability. The Journal’s core subject-matter fields/topics include (but are not limited to):    Complex relationships and mechanisms between biological, chemical, and physical features and agroecosystems.  Particular crop production, protection, and their complex interrelations.  Plant–animal interactions in agroecosystems, with particular focus on plant protection, plant breeding, and plant chemical defences.  Abiotic interactions between agroecosystems and the environment (soil, air, water, toxins).  Biological and ecological processes that govern ecosystem services.  Complex relationships between anthropological factors and agroecosystems, including all human impacts on the environment and on agroecosystems.  Empirical studies related to land-use intensification and other human impacts (soil degradation and erosion, water and waste management, and associated mitigation approaches).  Empirical studies on biodiversity conservation, land management, and ecological restoration.  The following topics are discouraged:    Only locally important questionnaire-based surveys made on local populations and plots.  Studies involving only locally important crops.  Surveys on consumers’ preferences and opinions.  Animal breeding and health studies of any form.  Political opinions and any other related surveys.  Studies on theoretical models or methodologies with low application possibilities.   Why Submit  Fast process, strict review.    All submitted papers are screened carefully for their eligibility, checked with highly sophisticated anti-plagiarism software, and authors are informed about the results.  All papers are revised first by the series editors, and a decision on their suitability for any further external review is reported in a few days.  Decisions, based on external reviewers’ submitted reports on the papers, are made within 4–6 weeks.  Papers accepted are published online first within a short period of time.    Papers are published in the Gold Open Access regime – no fees or any charge from authors are requested.   The printed and online versions of the journal are identical.  Rejection Rate    65%    Archiving  Sciendo archives the contents of this journal in Portico - digital long-term preservation service of scholarly books, journals and collections.  Plagiarism Policy  The editorial board is participating in a growing community of Similarity Check System's users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. Similarity Check is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process.  Article Processing Charge (APC)  The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges.
