PRESENTATION AND EDITORIAL

Abstract

IP� AGRONOMIC JOURNAL IS A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, OF SEMIANNUAL CHARACTER WITH BLIND ARBITRATION BY PEERS, PUBLISHED BY THE AGRONOMY COURSE OF THE EVANGELICAL COLLEGE OF GOIAN�SIA, AIMED AT THE DISSEMINATION OF STUDIES AND RESEARCH THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREAS IN WHICH THEY ARE INSERTED. IT IS INTENDED FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF ORIGINAL TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC WORKS, UNPUBLISHED, RESULTING FROM SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCOPE. IT IS OPEN TO RECEIVING WORKS BY RESEARCHERS FROM RESEARCH, TEACHING AND EXTENSION INSTITUTIONS IN BRAZIL AND THE WORLD. ITS MISSION IS TO PUBLISH SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL ARTICLES AND ORIGINAL QUALITY TECHNICAL NOTES, INVOLVING NEW RESEARCH AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES OF INTEREST.

 

FOLLOWING THE TREND OF SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS AROUND THE WORLD, THIS JOURNAL ANNOUNCES THAT IT WILL CHANGE ITS EDITORIAL LINE FROM "PERIODIC PUBLICATION" TO "PUBLICATION CONTINUES".

THIS CHANGE WILL BRING MORE AGILITY TO THE EDITORIAL PROCESS, ESPECIALLY IN THE PUBLICATION STAGE OF ACCEPTED PAPERS.

IN THE CONTINUOUS PUBLICATION MODEL, THE NEED FOR ALL ARTICLES TO BE FINALIZED BEFORE PUBLICATION OF THE EDITION IS ELIMINATED, THAT IS, AS THE EDITORIAL PROCESS OF AN ARTICLE IS COMPLETED, IT WILL ALREADY BE PUBLISHED IMMEDIATELY. AND THE FULL EDITION WILL BE CLOSED AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.

THE JOURNAL CONTINUES TO VALUE THE QUALITY OF THE REVIEW PROCESS, WHICH WILL NOT BE ALTERED, AND THE DOUBLE BLIND REVIEW BY RELIABLE PEERS REMAINS BLIND, WITHOUT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH THE STUDIES THEY EVALUATE.
