About the journal
The IJAS Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability (IJAS) is a cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of sustainability in agricultural and food systems.
IJAS publishes both theoretical developments and critical appraisals of new evidence on what is not sustainable about current or past agricultural and food systems, as well as on transitions towards agricultural and rural sustainability at farm, community, regional, national and international levels, and through food supply chains. It is committed to clear and consistent use of language and logic, and the use of appropriate evidence to substantiate empirical statements.
IJAS increases knowledge on what technologies and processes are contributing to agricultural sustainability, what policies, institutions and economic structures are preventing or promoting sustainability, and what relevant lessons should be learned.
Topics covered include:
Agriculture-Environment Interactions
Agriculture and Rural Economy Interactions
Institutional and Policy Issues
Technology Development Food and Consumer Issues
Instructions to Authors
Authors' Charter
To assist authors to understand the journals publishing process, this document makes our procedures and policies explicit. It also shows our commitment to the continuous improvement of our publications, and best practice in general.
Submissions
Acknowledgement. When we receive your paper, its details will be entered into our database and the paper will be allocated a unique editor' s reference number. The editor will check that the paper is appropriate for the journal in terms of word count, scope and focus. Some papers will be returned to authors without being refereed if they do not pass these initial tests. Authors should adhere strictly to the guidelines for submission; failure to do so may result in delays.
Refereeing. All journals use a blinded refereeing process. Neither the author(s) nor referee(s) will know the others' identities. The authors' names, addresses and other forms of identification will not appear on the version sent to referees. Referees are given deadlines for return of comments and where these are not forthcoming, alternatives will be found.
Decision. The Editor in Chief will decide whether to accept or reject a paper, based on the advice from referees, and members of the Editorial Board. The Editor will provide the corresponding author with any feedback from the referees. If the paper requires revision, the Editor will inform the author whether the changes are minor or major. Minor changes will be checked by the Editor, major changes will be reviewed by the referees. In the cases of major revision, the paper may require further changes after the referees have seen it and may still be rejected at this point.
Revisions. If you are invited to respond to referees' comments by revising your paper, we provide a timeframe for this task. We do not send reminders to authors. If we do not hear from you within the stated period, then the status of your paper will be changed from "under revision" to "withdrawn" and the file closed. We will hold on to the file for 12 months before disposing of it.
Acceptance and publication. After acceptance, a paper enters the production process. The amount of time it takes between acceptance and publication depends on the number of accepted papers awaiting publication. The position in the queue is from the date of acceptance, but the Editor also aims to achieve a balance between topics, regions and institutions. The production process takes a minimum of 12 working weeks, during which period the paper is copy edited, typeset, checked by the author, printed, bound and distributed. The corresponding author will be sent a proof of the typeset paper for checking prior to publication.
Copyright
Transfer. At present our journals policy remains that we ask authors to transfer copyright to the publisher. This policy is constantly under review and may change according to circumstances and more general moves within the industry. Nevertheless, authors retain the right to publish their original (submitted) work on their own website and to authorise their institution to host this version of the paper in a local repository. In these cases we ask that the author or institution concerned to recognise and identify the definitive version of the article as that published in the journal, and offer readers a link to the publisher's online journal site. Earthscan will waive the requirement to transfer copyright if the author(s) employer holds the copyright of their work (eg US Government employees). The corresponding author of an accepted paper will be provided with an electronic copy of their paper to distribute amongst colleagues, in lieu of offprints , but not for republication elsewhere. Enquiries about further reproduction of author(s) work should be addressed to: journals@earthscan.co.uk
Plagiarism. Authors of an accepted work, by transferring copyright to the publisher, are stating that the work is original, and that any material derived from other copyright sources has the relevant permissions sought and obtained of the copyright holder. The publisher reserves the right to withdraw an accepted paper if it is established this is not the case, and to inform the author's institution or employer of any such breach.
Funding Research funders increasingly expect to receive recognition of their support for research, and as a publisher we are keen that there is transparency in the publication process for research literature. We would encourage authors whose work has been funded to provide an acknowledgement using a form of words similar to: This work was supported by the ----- (name of research council or other body) under grant number - - - - .If the work in question received no particular funding, then it is permissible to state: This research received no specific grant funding from any agency, public or commercial?
