Peer Review Process
SJAR is a peer-reviewed journal. Authors are invited to nominate a list of four potential expert reviewers in their accompanying letter. These reviewers must not have a conflict of interest with the authors or the paper content, and the Editorial Board may decline to contact any of the reviewers suggested by the authors.
Upon submission, the manuscript will be cursorily inspected in the editorial office for compliance with the author instructions. Manuscripts that do not achieve the prerequisites for publication (please refer to these guidelines) will be immediately rejected. Remaining manuscripts will be assigned to the corresponding Editor-in-Chief, which may reject or allocate them to one of the twelve Section Editors, depending on the topic. Section Editors maintain a global vision of their topic areas. They select Associate Editors, who are responsible for identifying relevant referees for single-blind peer review (the referees know the identity of the authors, but the authors do not know the identity of the referees).
Two referees are usually invited to comment on each submission. When the opinions of the referees differ significantly, the manuscript is usually sent to a third referee. When a decision has been reached, the decision is communicated to the author.
The editors' decision is final unless there is a proven error in the process of manuscript evaluation or peer review. If you believe that there has been a process error in the handling of your manuscript, please address your concerns to the Editor-in-Chief and include the manuscript submission number.
After the author has submitted the final version and this has been accepted for publication, the manuscript undergoes a copyediting process. The copyeditor performs the clean-up edit. This edit occasionally generates new queries, which are sent to the author. SJAR reserves the right to correct grammar, improve clarity, and impose the SJAR style. Authors are responsible for content, including the spelling of personal and place names. SJAR reserves the right to refuse publication of articles that, upon repeated resubmission, do not meet stylistic standards. After copyediting is complete, the issue is produced.

Aims and scope
The Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research (SJAR) is a quarterly international journal that accepts research articles, reviews and short communications of content related to agriculture. Research articles and short communications must report original work not previously published in any language and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The main aim of SJAR is to publish papers that report research findings on the following topics: agricultural economics; agricultural engineering; agricultural environment and ecology; animal breeding, genetics and reproduction; animal health and welfare; animal production; plant breeding, genetics and genetic resources; plant physiology; plant production (field and horticultural crops); plant protection; soil science; and water management. SJAR is not publishing articles whose topic is "food science and technology". Articles on local research will only be publishable if they show methodological innovation or results that can be extrapolated to other areas.
Research articles make an original and significant contribution to the field of study within the scope of the journal. These articles should be of interest to a broad audience, scientifically sound, well written and concise.
Short communications must report completed work, not preliminary findings.
Reviews aim to provide an overview of an issue of great interest or topicality. Reviews will be invited by the Editorial Board. However, potential authors can suggest topics to the Editor-in-Chief. Authors must be experts and have several publications on the subject.

SJAR reserves the right to refuse publication of articles that, upon repeated resubmission, do not meet stylistic standards. After copyediting is complete, the issue is produced.
Open access
SJAR is an Open Access Journal, and all of the articles can be downloaded free of charge directly from the web page of the journal.
Submission and handling of manuscript
Original manuscript
Authors must submit manuscripts via the online Open Journal System (http://www.inia.es/sjar). Authors may register on the site at any time, but they should register only once. During registration, authors choose a username and password. The security of manuscripts is protected by the username/password system. Please upload the entire manuscript, with tables and figures (on separate sheets but in the same document) and annexes, in Word format as a unique file. Separate figure files will be required if the manuscript is accepted. A completed manuscript submission will be confirmed by e-mail through the Editorial Manager system (http://www.inia.es/sjar).
Submission of a manuscript implies the following:
- the work described has not been published previously in any language (except in a book of abstracts, in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or as part of a thesis);
- the work is not under consideration for publication elsewhere;
- publication of the work has been approved by all co-authors;
- the authors agree to the automatic transfer of the copyright to the publisher if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication;
- the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the copyright holders; and
- written permission of the copyright holder was obtained by the authors for materials from other copyrighted sources.
When submitting a paper, we recommend uploading an accompanying letter in which the authors can nominate an Associate Editor for handling and provide a list of four potential expert reviewers with full contact information and e-mail addresses.
There are no handling or page charges.
Papers reporting sequence data. Manuscripts containing primary nucleotide sequence data must be accompanied by (an) accession number(s) from an internationally available nucleotide database.
Papers reporting software. Software should be available for a period of two years after publication of the manuscript.
Papers reporting field research. Field research should indicate replications in sites and years in connexion to the addressed aims of the experiment(s). In many cases, several years (a minimum of three in general) may be required to account for all of the variation in factors that affect plant growth and development, in particular for those researches dealing with production and yield. Since the lack of this requirement can be cause of manuscript rejection during the preliminary inspection, if this recommendation is not fulfilled, arguments supporting the validity of the results must be stated and included in the manuscript accompanying letter addressed to the Editorial Office.
Online annexes. This material provides access to essential data that do not appear in the printed article or PDF but that accompany the final online version of a paper. These data are peer reviewed, must be cited in the text and are subject to the same criteria as the data published in the paper itself. We only accept figures and tables as annexes. We do not accept text files that provide additional materials and methods or results or discussions related to the article; these should be included in the article itself. Please note that annexes files are not copyedited by SJAR; therefore, authors must ensure that the style of terms and figures conforms to the style of the article.
Revised manuscripts
To expedite production, authors are required to submit their revised manuscripts online, accompanied by a letter containing a detailed (point-by-point) reply to the reviewers and editor’s comments. A revised manuscript will retain its original date of receipt only if it is received within three months of the date of return to the author. Revised papers returned after this interval will be treated as new submissions. Papers will not be accepted until all required minor changes have been incorporated into the document. The revised manuscripts will be uploaded to the SJAR Editorial Manager System (www.inia.es/sjar).
Manuscript preparation
Please upload the entire manuscript, with tables, figures and annexes, in Word format as a unique file. We encourage to use .doc files instead of .docx ones, for possible incompatibility problems. Separate figure files will be required if the manuscript is accepted.
Manuscript format
Manuscripts should be written in Times New Roman 12-point font, with 1.5 line spacing. The four margins will be 2.5 cm. Section headings should be written 14-point font in bold print. All pages should be numbered consecutively, and line numbers should be printed on each page (starting wiht 1 on each page) to facilitate ease of reference for the reviewers. Each paragraph should begin with an identation of 1-cm. Tables, figures and annexes must be included on separate sheets (but in the same Word document), one per page, following the References section.
- Language: Manuscripts should be written in concise, legible English, which must be carefully reviewed by the authors for correctness of language and content. English spelling can be British or American, but it must be consistent throughout. Authors whose first language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked by a proficient third party prior to submission.
Online annexes (data that do not appear in the printed article but that accompany the online version), either figures or tables, should be included in the article itself, on separate sheets but in the same unique document.
Research articles should not be longer than 28 pages (or 7,000 words), including tables and figures. Research articles should include a front page, an abstract, up to seven keywords and the abbreviations used. The main text should include the following sections (see suggested layout below): introduction; material and methods; results; discussion; acknowledgments; references; tables and figures; and annexes, if any.
Short communications should be no longer than 10 pages (or 2,000 words), including tables and figures. Short communications should include a front page; an abstract; up to seven keywords; abbreviations used; main text not divided into sections; acknowledgments; references; a maximum of three tables/figures; and annexes, if any. The manuscript title must start with "Short communication.".
Review articles (typically invited by the Editor) do not have page limitation or maximum number of references. They should include a front page; up to seven keywords; abbreviations used; a variable main text (the introduction should be based on general coverage of the issue, followed by a critical assessment of the most important references); acknowledgments; references; tables/figures (encouraged); and annexes, if any. The manuscript title must start with the word "Review". Reviews will be submitted to the peer-review process.
Layout
The following layout is strongly recommended:
1. Front page.
The first page must include the following:
- Title of the work. The title must be clear, short and concise. Avoid terms such as “Study of...”, “Observations...”, or “Contribution to...”. The title should preferably not exceed 20 words.
- Name(s) of author(s), with the corresponding author marked with an asterisk (*). When the authors are associated with different institutions, each author should be marked with a superscript number indicating the corresponding author's mailing address. Names should only include initials of first and second name. We recommend uniting surnames with a hyphen in the case of more than one surname and spelling authors’ names using the English alphabet and without accents(e.g., Juan Rodríguez Cataño should read J. Rodriguez-Castano). This method facilitates international database searching.
- Name and full postal address of the institution(s), preferably in the native language, using the English alphabet and without accents.
- E-mail address and telephone number of the corresponding author.
- Number of tables and figures.
- Number of annexes (tables and/or figures), if any, with the following sentence: "This word has x supplementary tables and x supplementary figures that do not appear in the printed article but that accompany the paper online".
- The running title of the work, used in the heading of the pages of the printed article, should not exceed 90 characters (including spaces).
- Topic, selected from the twelve above.
2. Abstract, keywords, and abbreviations.
Abstract. The abstract length is 250 words maximum. The style must be concise and must not contain references. A typical abstract structure can be as follows: i) describe the relevance of the study and establish the goal ar the specific objetives; ii) briefly describe the materials and methods; crops or organisms involved must be identified as well as soil type, chemicals, and other details that may be important for the interpretation of the results; iii) list and discuss relevant results [including numeric values of experimental results]; and iv) one or two closing sentences addressing the most relevant findings and implications.
Special attention should be paid to the title anda abstract, as these will influence readers´decisions to proceed with the text. The editorial board may suggest changes to make these sections more informative and attractive.
Additional keywords. A maximum of seven keywords should be included. These should not repeat words that appear in the title.
Abbreviations. Include a list of all non-standard abbreviations used in the paper and their meaning.
3. Text of the article.
Checklist for structure:
We strongly recommend that the text of the article should contain the following sections:
- Introduction. The introduction should contain sufficient information about the background of the work to allow it to be placed in the context of other research and to allow the reader to understand the relevance, proposed objectives and evaluation of the results. The introduction should conclude with one or two sentences that define the objectives and the essence of the article.
- Material and methods. Sufficient information should be provided to enable the experiments to be repeated. For routine methods, a brief description and literature reference will be sufficient. New methods must be described in detail and, in the case of rarely used chemical products or equipment, the manufacturer’s name and address should be given.
- Results. In general, this section should not include literature references; it should only include the results of the experiments. Interpretations of the experimental data should be reserved for the Discussion section. The explanations provided in the figure and table captions should not be repeated in the text. Avoid combining the Results and Discussion sections into a single section. SJAR´s policy is to keep manuscripts merging the sections Results and Discussion only to those casses in which this practice is strictly necessary, or adds some value to the work. In these cases, we require a formal statement by the authors explaining their reasons to do it so.
- Discussion. The discussion should not be limited to describing the experimental results and drawing conclusions; it should also be analytical and interpretative and should establish an association between the results obtained and other published works. The discussion may describe conflicting opinions and the results of other authors and indicate the value of these results for future works. This section should conclude with one or two sentences that summarise the most relevant conclusions and implications. Conclusions usually do not contain references but provide a short, general restatement of the main experimental results and their importance to the reader or the subject being discussed. Do not write conclusions in enumerated or bulleted paragraphs.
- Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements should be made to individuals or institutions that have provided technical support for the work. Sources of funding should also be mentioned.
- References. When references are cited in the text, the author´s surname should be provided in parentheses, followed by a comma and the year of publication; for example, "(Westfall, 1992)...". If there are two authors, the surnames should be followed by "&"; for example, "...(Lynch & Walsh, 2007)...". If there are three or more auhtors, include the surname of the first author followed by "et al." and a comma; for example, "...(Keller et al., 2009)...". When several references are cited, they should be ordered from oldest to most recent; if they are from the same year, sort them alphabetically "...(Playne & McDonald, 1966; Carazo et al., 2008; Pries et al., 2008)...". If there are two authors with the same surname and year of publication include the initial, for example, "...Baccouri B. et al., 2007; Baccouri O. et al., 2007;...". References list. It must be in alphabetic order by authors. In the case of several references from one author, papers that are sole authored should be presented first, followed by those with two authors and then references with three or more authors, respecting the chronological order in each case. If more than one of the articles was published in the same year, a letter should be added after the year to identify the reference (for example, 2005a,b). Multi-authored works should list the first ten authors followed by "et al.". Use abbreviated jounal names. Examples are given below for literature references.
References to a paper “in press” are permissible, provided that the paper in question has been accepted for publication (indicate the doi or documentary evidence of acceptance). A reference to “unpublished work” is only permissible if it contains essential information; it should be available from the cited authors on request, and the names of all persons involved should be cited (first initial(s) followed by surname) in parentheses as “unpublished data”. Any person cited as the source of a “personal communication” must have approved the reference. Both of these types of citations are permitted in the text only, not in the list of references. The use of “in preparation” or “submitted for publication” is not permitted.
- Tables and figures should be cited consecutively in the text, numbered independently with Arabic numerals and self-explanatory. The figures and tables must be very high quality and must be received in a suitable form and condition to be reproduced.
Tables should be headed by a number and title. Explanatory notes that facilitate the interpretation of the tables should be included at the bottom of the tables. Tables should have defined cells and must not be created using the space bar and/or tab keys.
Figures may correspond to diagrams or photographs. The figure number and legend should be presented at the bottom of the figure. After the acceptance of the paper, photographs should be sent separately as image files (jpg, tiff or similar) with a finished size of at least 300 ppi. Only under well-justified circumstances will colour photographs be admitted. Figures prepared with Excel or a similar program should be sent separately in the format of their source program (*.xls or *.xlsx files).
Checklist for style
- Units and symbols. Use SI units in accordance with the recommendations of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) or the Bureau for Poids et Mesures (BIPM) (http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf).
Use the form g kg-1 rather than g/kg, and L, mL and µL for capacity or volume units. Express N (normality) as mmol L-1 and ppm as mg kg-1 or mg L-1. Please spell out numbers one through nine, except when used with units. When units are not preceded by a number, the term should be written in full, without using the symbol (e.g., “metres”, “23 m”). Express decimals using a full stop (e.g., 3.14) and thousands with commas (e.g., 21,314). For decimal quantities <1, place a zero before the decimal point. Report dates with the day first, then the month, and then the year.
- Abbreviations must be defined when first mentioned in the abstract or text [e.g., “polymerase chain reaction (PCR)”] and again in the tables and figures. Abbreviations must then be used throughout the article, except at the beginning of a sentence.
- Style must be that of Scientific English throughout the article. Please ensure that a science editor reviews the paper before submitting it for publication. Indefinite words, such as "similar", "difficulties", or "properly", should not be used in a scientific article.
- Formulae. Use an equation editor for mathematical formulae whenever possible. Avoid inserting formulae as images.
- Parameters. It is a common mistake to use the term “parameters” instead of “variables” or “characters”. Variables are quantities that vary from individual to individual (e.g., length, width). By contrast, parameters do not relate to actual measurements or attributes, but to quantities that define a theoretical model; they are properties of a collection of individuals (e.g., mean and SD). In other words, you measure a variable; a parameter describes the measurements, such as the mean.
- Never start a sentence with a numeral: “Four plants and five years ago” is correct, not “4 plants and 5 years ago”. This means that some sentences may need to be rewritten: “Farmers collected 4,000 fruits the first year” instead of “4,000 fruits were collected the first year.”
- Scientific names.
Genus must be written in full the first time an organism is mentioned in the abstract or text and in every table and figure. If you are discussing several different species within a genus so that the genus is the same for each species mentioned, write genus + species in full the first time each new species is mentioned, even if it seems redundant. After the first time, use the genus abbreviation with a period.
Genus and species are always italicised. Do not italicise "spp.", "sensu stricto" or "sensu lato", which may follow genus and species. Genus is italicised when it appears alone (i.e., Phytophthora infections).
Latin binomials or trinomials and authorities, when first mentioned, must be given for all plants, insects and pathogens (e.g., Solanum lycopersicum L.).
Both the common and chemical names of pesticides must be given when first mentioned (e.g., “Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine) was most persistent...”).
Identify soils at the series and family level, or at least the Great Group, when first mentioned.
Mark botanical cultivars in single inverted quotation marks, or the term cultivar or use the abbreviation cv. when first mentioned (e.g., tomato ‘Royesta’ or cv. Royesta). Subsequently, this can be referred to as Royesta tomato or Royesta cultivar.
Animals (breed, sex, age, and body weight), diets, measurements and statistical models should be written in a clear and detailed way.
- Statistical results. In-line statistical results should be presented as the test statistic followed by degrees of freedom as subscript(s) to the test statistic (e.g., F1,12 = 1.74 and t8 = 31.8), p < 0.001, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p = value (for values in between 0.05 and 0.10), or n.s., e.g., (F1,12 = 4.9, p > 0.05). In tables, statistical results should be comprehensive, facilitating future meta-analyses. Depending on the details of the analyses, results reported may include parameter estimates, test-statistics, degrees of freedom significance levels and error/residual model information (e.g., error MS and d.f. in ANOVA or regression models). Because exact p-values can be useful for meta-analyses, we recommend that these be quoted even when non-significant, e.g. t23 = 0.25, p = 0.34, or F2,32 = 1.12, p = 0.55). However, non-significant tests (i.e. p > 0.05) should always be interpreted as such, and not reported.
Correction of proofs
Page proofs of articles are sent to authors as PDF files. Corrected proofs should be sent to the Editorial Office within three days by e-mail. Proofreading occasionally generates additional queries for the author. If corrections are not received in due time, the editors reserve the right to perform the corrections that they consider most appropriate.
