The journal publishes original research and review articles on the economic, ecological, and environmental impacts of agriculture; the effective use of renewable resources and biodiversity in agro-ecosystems; and the technological and sociological implications of sustainable food systems. It also contains a discussion forum, which presents lively discussions on new and provocative topics.

We particularly welcome multidisciplinary studies, but papers from a specific discipline are also invited. However, since RAFS readership is much broader than for a single-discipline journal, highly specialized terminology should be explained or avoided. The significance of a statement, or the reasoning behind a conclusion, may have to be spelled out more than in a more specialized journal. Categories of Articles We publish articles in the following categories; please ensure that your article clearly fits into one of the categories listed below: Articles These are full-length articles not qualified by any other label (e.g., "commentary") that make up the main body of every issue. They fall into three classes: Research articles These are reports of original research that all subject to peer review, with the customary standards applying: relevance, originality, significance, validity, and clarity. One additional criterion not always applicable to other journals is that an article for RAFS should be understandable to readers with a wide range of backgrounds, not just people in the authors' speciality. Review articles We encourage you to submit a review on any subject relevant to RAFS. Preliminary reports on highly innovative systems. This is a category that is not found in some journals but which we consider appropriate for alternative agriculture. It covers areas about which very little research has been done before, but which promise to be very exciting. The data presented in such an article can be less complete than in a conventional research report. However, please note that such an article should not be a report on work in progress on a familiar topic. Fora These are short pieces that take a stand on a current policy issue. Usually a forum makes just one main point so it can argue the case convincingly in about one journal page. The aim of a forum article is to stimulate thinking and discussion. On receipt of a forum article, the Forum Editor sends the article to two reviewers whose responses will be published with the forum. Manuscript submission Peer review All contributions will be reviewed by at least two referees to ensure both accuracy and relevance. The referees?reports will provide a basis on whether we accept a paper. Revision may be required before final acceptance. Authors are invited submit the names and contact details (including e-mail addresses) of suggested referees in a covering letter, or in the ‘comments?box online. Units Research papers should use the International (SI, or metric) system throughout. Occasional use of common unit equivalents in parentheses is permitted. Arrangement of papers Manuscripts should be prepared according to the following structure: An abstract of 200 to 400 words, suitable for readers from a broad range of disciplines. It should avoid highly specialised terminology that might be appropriate for a single-discipline journal. Take particular care that the significance of the work is made clear, even to readers from a different field. Subject matter keywords suitable for use in scientific indexing The text, divided under appropriate headings Acknowledgements (if any) References (for further information about presenting references please see below) Tables, either on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript or in separate file. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and every table should be mentioned at least once in the text. Illustrations as separate files containing no text. Captions to illustrations should be supplied on a separate sheet at the end of the main manuscript. Reference List When citing material that has been covered in more than one format, such as the typescript of a conference presentation and a journal article, preference should be given to the version that is most readily available, and that is likely to remain so. Generally this means standard publication channels, such as books, journals, and regular government report series. Unpublished or informally published material should be cited only when no alternative form exists. References are based on the Vancouver system. They should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they first appear in the text using superscript Arabic numerals. Where a reference is cited more than once in the text, use the same number each time. In the reference list please give the names of all authors in the reference, never use "et al". Use full names of journals, institutions, conferences, etc. The reference list uses no quotation marks, italics, boldface or underlining. Only the names of books and periodicals are in initial capitals. Names of papers, book chapters, pamphlets, and bulletins are not capitalized. Examples: 1. Leopold, A. 1991.

University of Maryland, College Park. Footnotes RAFS does not use bibliographic or substantive footnotes. All bibliographic references should be at the end of the text. Instead of substantive footnotes, include the material in the main text or consider eliminating it. Manuscript Preparation The entire manuscript, including abstract and references, should be typed on one side of standard-size paper, double spaced, with margins of at least 2cm all around. Label all pages in the upper right-hand corner with the lead author's last name and the page number. Do not use hyphens unless the hyphen is part of the word.
