Auhtor Guidelines

The journal welcomes original research articles that align with its thematic areas and meet specific requirements. These articles have not been published elsewhere; they are not under consideration by other publishers, have not been posted online, and all co-authors agree to publish the current version of the article.


I Article Preparation

Manuscript authors take full responsibility for the truth of all information presented and the manuscript content. This includes facts, quotations, statistical data, formulae, names and initials, and references to sources and literature.

 The articles format should follow the requirements of State Standards GOST R 7.0.7-2021 and GOST 7.0.5-2008.


ARTICLE STRUCTURE

Article type: research article, review article, editorial, discussion paper, personalia, editor's note, book review, article review, brief communication.

 Universal Decimal Code:

 The article title should be well suited to its contents. It should be composed of no more than 10 words. It should be written in Russian and English, with both versions being grammatically correct and as close in meaning as possible.

Essential author information

  • Author's full name (given name(s), surname); the co-authors choose the order in which their names appear in the publication;
  • Author’s affiliation (name of organisation (institution) WITHOUT indicating its organisational legal form such as FGBUN, FGBOU VO, PAO, AO, etc.);
  • Address of the organisation (institution) and its subdivision where the author works or studies (city and country);
  • Author's electronic address (WITHOUT the word “e-mail” and WITHOUT a period at the end);
  • Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) (where available) in the form of an Internet address without a period at the end

The name of the organisation (institution), its address, electronic address and author's ORCID are separated by commas.

Information about place of employment (study), electronic addresses and authors' ORCIDs appear after the authors' names on separate lines. They are linked to names through superscript numerical designations.

It is possible to specify the electronic address of only one author with whom correspondence is planned, or to specify an author for correspondence, in the following format: Corresponding Author: e-mail address

Abstract is an independent, structured material. It first briefly reflects on the research relevance, aims and objectives. It then describes the methods used and presents the research findings with mandatory arguments based on numerical data. The abstract also provides a discussion, and draws conclusions. The recommended abstract length is between 200 and 250 words. It should not contain any abbreviations or complex formatting elements, such as superscripts or subscripts.  The abstract must be written in both Russian and English.

Keywords should be relevant to the topic of the article and accurately represent its subject matter and terminology. Words that are general or have many meanings, as well as phrases with participial clauses, should not be used. The number of keywords (phrases of no more than three words) is 5 to 7. They are introduced as Keywords: and separated by commas, with no period at the end

Acknowledgements. This section expresses gratitude towards organizations, research supervisors, and other individuals who contributed to the article creation. It may also include information about grants, funding, projects or studies that supported or were the basis of the article drafting and publication. This section is introduced as Acknowledgements:

Article citation format (introduced as For citation:). Author’s surname and initials. Article title. AgroEcoEngineering. Year; issue: pages. (In Russ. / Eng.) DOI/URL

Main text.  The article should be well structured and have the following main sections:

  • introduction (problem statement, relevance and novelty, literature review);
  • research aim;
  • materials and methods (including statistical data analyses);
  • results;
  • discussion (detailed analysis of findings and their comparison with other studies);
  • conclusions.

The main text is followed by a list of literature sources cited in the article (introduced as REFERENCES)

The Journal follows the Vancouver citation style. This style requires the in-text citations in square brackets at the end of a sentence, before the period.  The complete bibliographic descriptions in the References section are ordered by their appearance in the text.

The list of references comprises only peer-reviewed sources (journal articles and monographs) cited in the article text. It must contain at least 10 sources. Thesis abstracts, dissertations, textbooks, teaching aids, state standards, website information, statistical reports, and articles from socio-political newspapers, websites and blogs are not included. Where such information requires citation, it should appear in a footnote at the relevant page bottom, formatted according to the State Standard GOST 7.0.5-2008.

Over 50 per cent of listed sources must have been published within the last 5 years in high-ranking Russian and international journals. References to earlier works are acceptable only where necessary.

 Unfair and incorrect citation that is not justified by the content of the cited article should be avoided. A self-citation rate is no more than 25%. 

Bibliographical entries for the list of references are compiled according to the State Standard GOST R 7.0.5–2008.

 All references must be in a consistent format with only a period (not a dash) between the description parts. All members of the authors’ team of the referenced article should be listed. The cited journal’s title should also be given in full. Where available, the cited article's DOI or URL must be provided.

 Author contributions. Following each author's surname and initials, their role in the article preparation is briefly indicated (for example, conceptualisation, methodology, software, data verification, formal analysis, research conduct, resources, data administration, draft manuscript creation, final version preparation (revision) and manuscript editing, visualisation, research supervision, project administration, funding acquisition).

 Authors' declaration regarding absence or presence of conflict of interest, with conflict details where applicable.

 Consent of all authors, having reviewed the final article version, to manuscript publication in the Journal.

 Information regarding manuscript submission date to the Editorial Office, post-review approval date, and article acceptance date for publication.

 On a separate page, authors provide personal information to be published in the Journal. This includes full name, academic degree (if applicable) and academic title (if applicable), current position, full name of the structural subdivision and organization, its location, and contact information for communicating about the article's preparation for publication (phone number, e-mail address).

 MANUSCRIPT FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS

 The Editorial Office welcomes the manuscripts and electronic versions in Microsoft Word format with .doc or .docx extensions. The non-editable format (PDF) of manuscripts is not allowed.

  • Manuscript length must be between 5 and 15 pages of printed text excluding the translation of abstract and list of references, including tables and figures (maximum five).
  • The text must be in Times New Roman, size 12.

IV Journal-Author Communication

The Editorial Office of the Journal communicates with the author or, in the case of a team of authors, the author who is responsible for correspondence. If the team of authors so desires, however, messages can be sent to all team members who have provided an email address.

All manuscripts of research articles and supporting documents received by the Journal undergo preliminary assessment for compliance with formal requirements.

If any inconsistencies are found, the correction guidance is forwarded to the author or a corresponding author.

Where identified inconsistencies have not been resolved, the submission will not be considered for publication. The Editorial Office will notify the author or a corresponding author accordingly, stating the reasons for rejection.

Should the manuscript satisfy requirements, the corresponding author receives notification of manuscript acceptance for consideration.

Following preliminary assessment, the article is forwarded to peer reviewing. Articles received by the Editorial Office undergo double-blind peer review. With a positive conclusion from reviewers, the article proceeds to preparation for printing.

The corresponding author of the article accepted for publication receives the final layout version for mandatory checking. The author response is expected within 2 days. If there is no response from the corresponding author, the article layout is deemed approved.

When the reviewers’ desicion is to revise the manuscript, their comments and remarks are sent to the author. The author must make all necessary corrections to the final version of the manuscript and return it to the Editorial Office within seven calendar days after receiving the email notification. It should be accompanied with a cover letter with answers to the reviewers’ questions or justified objections. Author-revised manuscripts undergo re-review.

The manuscripts, whose authors have not addressed the constructive reviewer comments or failed to present justified objections, are declined for publication. The Editorial Office will forward a reasoned rejection or a review copy to the author.

A negative review makes up grounds for publication refusal, and a corresponding decision is sent to the author.

Should the author contest the conclusion and/or individual comments of reviewers, he has two options. He may petition for re-review and later amend the manuscript according to justified reviewer and editor comments and articulate his position. Or else he may withdraw the manuscript, providing a written notification to the Editorial Office and receiving the confirmation of the manuscript withdrawal from consideration.
