Submission Guidelines and Authorship Criteria

The Journal of Agricultural Digitalization Research is a monthly, peer-reviewed publication that adopts a continuous publication model to ensure the rapid and global dissemination of digital agriculture research. We welcome submissions from researchers across the globe working in agricultural digitalization, precision farming, agritech, remote sensing, artificial intelligence in agriculture, and other relevant interdisciplinary areas.

All manuscripts undergo a two-stage review process: an initial editorial screening followed by a blinded peer-review conducted by experts in the relevant domain. Authors are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with our Editorial and Ethical Policies before submission. Accepted papers are subject to editorial revisions for clarity, coherence, and adherence to the journals formatting and academic standards.
