What Our Authors Say
"Thanks a lot for speedy movement of the manuscript. We believe that our other colleagues stand to benefit if they also publish their works in JAR. Certainly we will encourage them. We at the same time feel that the JAR will also stand to gain status if the review process is also toughened."
Dr. Raj Gupta
National Agriculture Science Centre Complex, India
"Journal of Agronomy Research is the newest journal of open access pub based on open science model which permits a massively distributed collaboration via the internet. Through a modern online advanced manuscript review processor and a single blind peer review the initial decision to publish an article is made in less than 30 days—a source of great encouragement to prospecting authors. My recent experience of publishing as an author in this journal has been excellent and I recommend strongly its choice by others."
