For Researchers

How publishing works

Three steps, no submission fee, and a decision inside two weeks.

01

Submit

Upload your manuscript, abstract, and a short bio. No submission fee, no institutional login required.

02

Editorial review

A reviewer with agricultural-science background checks for rigor and clarity, and works with you on revisions within 10 business days.

03

Published & indexed

Your paper gets a permanent page, a citation record, and full search and AI-answer-engine indexing.

What we look for

Four things every submission needs

Real data or field observations

A literature review alone isn't enough — we're looking for original work, even a small field trial or a focused survey.

A plain-language summary

Alongside your technical abstract, so a non-specialist reviewer, funder, or search engine can follow what you found.

A named, contactable author

A real person we can reach with questions — not a departmental inbox or a group submission with no clear contact.

Rights to publish

Original work, or work you hold the rights to republish with attribution — see our disclaimer for how that's handled.

Where this fits

Built for what comes next

Graduate program applications

A public, citable page to link in an application instead of a PDF attachment — with a summary reviewers can skim in under a minute.

Grants & fellowships

A track record that compounds. Every paper adds to a public body of work funders can verify without emailing you for a copy.

Extension & first jobs

One link that shows what you actually researched — readable by a hiring manager and indexable by the recruiters searching for you.

Questions this raises
Is there a submission fee?

No — publishing is free during launch, and reading is always free. There's no plan for that to change; see our Pricing page for the full picture.

Can I submit work already published elsewhere?

Only if you hold the rights to republish it, with clear attribution to the original venue — we state that attribution on the paper's own page. Original, unpublished work is welcome too.

What disciplines do you cover?

Agronomy, soil science, plant pathology, farm economics, agri-engineering, agri data science, and more — see the full list on our Disciplines page.

How long does review take?

A reviewer with an agricultural-science background typically responds within 10 business days, whether that's a straightforward acceptance, a request for revisions, or a decline.

Do I need an institutional affiliation to submit?

No. There's no institutional login required and no requirement to be affiliated with a university or organization — students, early-career researchers, and independent scholars are all welcome.

Ready to submit?

No submission fee, no institutional login — just your manuscript, abstract, and a short bio.
