Peer Review Policy

The Fundamental and Applied Agriculture (FAA) follow the COPE Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. The submitted papers will pass through initial screening in the editorial office followed by internal review by Internal Board of Reviewing Editors. Those articles which fail to reach the scientific standards of the journal may be declined without further review. Those articles which satisfy the requirements of the Editorial Board will be assigned to External Peer Review by two reviewers. After revision, the paper will be checked through the Advanced Plagiarism Detection Software (CrossCheck powered by iThenticate). The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based on reviewer recommendations. If reviewers consider a manuscript unsuitable for publication in this journal, a statement explaining the basis for the decision will be sent to the authors shortly. The decision of the FAA Editor is final.
