The Archives of Agriculture and Environmental Science (AAES) journal serves as the official publication of the Agriculture and Environmental Science Academy (AESA). It is dedicated to disseminating original and innovative research that has not been previously published elsewhere nor is under consideration for publication by another publisher. Upholding the highest ethical standards, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), an independent body affiliated with AESA, assists editors in addressing issues such as plagiarism, corrections, retractions, withdrawals, and any breaches of the journal’s editorial and publication policies.
AAES strictly adheres to a Zero Tolerance Policy on Plagiarism, requiring all submitted manuscripts’ core content (including abstracts, summaries, hypotheses, observations, results, conclusions, and recommendations) to be entirely free of plagiarism. Non-core sections, such as introductions and discussions, must exhibit plagiarism levels below 10%. Authors are urged to adhere strictly to this policy and submit only original, plagiarism-free work to AAES. For comprehensive details, authors are encouraged to review the Publication Ethics and Best Practice Guidelines available at https://journals.aesacademy.org/index.php/aaes/ethics-author-editor-reviewer.
Archives of Agriculture and Environmental Science is an internationally peer-reviewed journal that publishes original articles reviewed by its Editorial Board and potential reviewers. Peer review is a critical evaluation conducted by experts in the relevant field to ensure the quality, performance, and credibility of published work. This process helps authors align with disciplinary standards, reduces unwarranted claims, and promotes relevant findings. Manuscripts undergo peer review via a single-blind system by members of the editorial board or qualified reviewers. Further instructions for reviewers can be found at https://journals.aesacademy.org/index.php/aaes/editors-reviewers-guide.
The journal participates in CrossMark, a multi-publisher initiative aimed at providing readers with a standardized method to locate the authoritative version of an article or published content. The CrossMark logo signifies AESA’s commitment to maintaining published content and notifying readers of any subsequent changes. Clicking on the CrossMark logo within a document provides its current status and may offer additional publication-record information. AESA utilizes CrossRef for plagiarism checks on submitted manuscripts. For further information on CrossMark, please visit https://www.crossref.org/services/crossmark/. The CrossMark logo is applied to current and future journal content of specific publication types.
CrossMark functionality ensures readers are provided with up-to-date information regarding published articles, including author details, ORCID iDs (if available), research funding information, and an added layer of authenticity to the work. Although efforts are made to publish flawless research, corrections may occasionally be necessary. In such cases, the journal’s correction policy is followed, and any corrections made to published articles are duly noted within the CrossMark information.
