Instructions to Authors
The manuscript should be original research that represents a real contribution to scientific knowledge. It should not have been concurrently submitted to other journals or previously published elsewhere. It should be in English and writing clear, concise, and correct. It is suggested that non-English native authors have their manuscript professionally edited by an English native translator before submission. If the quality of the English is not adequate, the manuscript will be rejected before being considered for peer-review. The manuscript must comply with the Instructions to Authors with regards to format and sections or it will be rejected and not be peer-reviewed for its scientific merit. The Editorial Office accepts or rejects an article on the basis of the comments provided by the Editorial Committee and reviewers. Rejections cannot be appealed. To avoid any errors, use the following example. The manuscript should be submitted through the online system available on our Website. The final acceptance letter is issued when the author satisfactorily responds to the reviewers’ comments.
The manuscript should be divided into sections with main headings centered on the page, bold, and capitalized (e.g., ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION…). Subtitles within each section should be flush left, bold, and the first word capitalized. It is recommended not to overuse subtitles so as not to fragment the manuscript with very short paragraphs.
The title should be centered, bold, and the first word capitalized.
Tables and Figures should be placed at the end of the text. Do not suggest their place in the manuscript; ChileanJAR will determine design layout.
Text length should not exceed 18 pages for SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES and REVIEWS and 10 pages for SCIENTIFIC NOTES. Use letter size paper, Times New Roman 11, 1.5 spacing, page number in the bottom right hand corner, and continuous line numbering. Use of the manuscript example template is suggested.
MANUSCRIPT SECTIONS
- Title. The title should clearly identify the topic. It should be centered, bold, and the first word capitalized. The recommended length is 18 words or less
- Author(s). Author names should be centered, bold, and separated by commas. Include the full first name (no initial) and last name of each author (where an author has two last names, use only the first) (e.g., Juan González). The affiliation of each author is included in a footnote; it consists of the institution (no abbreviation), faculty or experimental center, postal address, city, state (if applicable), and country. The corresponding author should be identified in the footnote with an asterisk* along with his/her email address. ChileanJAR accepts only one affiliation for each author. Co-authors and affiliations cannot be changed after submission. Changes will entail an automatic rejection by ChileanJAR.
- Abstract. The abstract is a single paragraph of no more than 250 words that includes the five parts of the manuscript: (1) an introductory sentence to state the importance of the topic or issue, (2) the main objective, (3) general description of methods, treatments, or evaluations, (4) main results expressed with values and statistical significance, and (5) the conclusion of the evaluation or analysis of the experimental results. It should not cite figures, tables, or references; equations should be avoided.
Key words: Authors must include no more than six words listed in alphabetical order, which reflect the central topics of the manuscript.

References in the text should be cited as author-year when there is only one author; use “and” rather than “&” when there are two authors. With three or more authors, use “et al.” after the first author. Two or more references included as a group in the text are listed in chronological order. Several references in the same year are listed alphabetically. For two or more articles using the same within-text citation, add a distinguishing letter to the year (a, b, c, d, etc.) in both the text and the Literature Cited section. If reference management software is used, for example, EndNote and ProCite, use the Agronomy Journal bibliographical reference style.
The number of references to books, postgraduate thesis, and congress or scientific event proceedings available in the bibliographical search system should be limited. Restricted circulation publications and informative magazine articles cannot be cited. “Unpublished data” or “personal communication” will not be accepted as references.
Scientific journal article: author(s), year, title, complete journal title, volume, and pages. The first author is listed by last name and initial(s) (Murray, B.G.) and co-authors are cited with the initial(s) first followed by the last name (A.R. Ferguson).

Soils. Identify soils with the series and family at first mention, including the USDA Soil Taxonomy classification: http://soils.usda.gov/technical/classification/tax_keys/
Scientific names. Identify plants, insects, and pathogens at first mention in the Abstract and text, include both a common and scientific (in italics) name, complete with authority. Confirm the nomenclature in a reliable source, such as:
Plants: http://www.ars-grin.gov/~sbmljw/cgi-bin/tax_search.pl?language=en).
Fungi: http://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/index.cfm?whichLanguage=English
Plant Diseases: http://www.isppweb.org/names_common.asp
Virus: http://ictvonline.org/virusTaxonomy.asp?version=2012
Chemical products. Identify herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers at first mention with their technical or generic name and the rates to be used; include the manufacturer between parentheses with the city, state, and country. Only use the technical name afterwards. Formulae for simple compounds (NaCl) are acceptable.
Chemistry (IUPAC): http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/class/
Pesticide: http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/index_cn_frame.html
Equipment and instruments. Equipment and instruments used in experimental work should be mentioned by their common name along with the model, brand, city, state, and country of the manufacturer between parentheses.
Numbers. The numbers from one to nine are written in full, except when they include units of measurement or several numbers are mentioned, for example, “six irrigation events”, “6, 9, and 12 irrigation events”, or “8 kg”. Use a zero before the decimal point.
To separate the numbers in intervals of one or more years, use “to” and a hyphen for growing seasons (e.g., period from 2002 to 2005; 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 growing seasons).
Units of measurement. Results should be expressed in the International System of Units (SI); if other units are used, put them between parentheses after the SI unit. Exponential notation should be used, for example, kg ha-1.
Abbreviations and symbols. All abbreviations should be written out in full at first mention in the Abstract, text, tables, and figures; the abbreviation is then used consistently. Some abbreviations do not need to be defined because they are widely used and well known, such as SI units, chemical elements, or DM for dry matter.
Other norms.
- Use 24-h time system with two digits for both hours and minutes (e.g., 14:30 h instead of 2:30 pm).
- Avoid redundancy in stating significant statistical differences (do not use “significance” as well as probability), (e.g., stearic acid concentration was greater (P < 0.05))
- Do not begin sentences with a number, write it out in full and include the SI unit. Abbreviate all SI units preceded by numbers (e.g., 7 kg, 32 d), except at the beginning of a sentence.
- Ordinal numbers from first to ninth are written out in full in the text, but can be abbreviated in tables. Abbreviate larger ordinals (e.g., 12th, 32nd).
- Do not use hyphens to indicate inclusion, use “to” and “and” (12 to 14 mg, week 3 and 4).
- Leave a space before and after each mathematical operator (the main exception is the division sign “/”). The (+) and (-) signs do not need a space between the sign and the number when they indicate positive or negative.
- The first letter of brands should be capitalized without the ™ symbol.
