ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences has been published by IKSAD (Economic Development and Social Research Institute) since 2017 as a peer-reviewed academic journal. The journal is published quarterly, with four issues per year, in March, June, September, and December.

The journal aims to contribute to the scientific community by publishing original, unpublished, and not previously submitted scientific studies in all fields of agricultural sciences and related disciplines, submitted from Türkiye and all around the world.

Manuscripts submitted to the journal are first subjected to a preliminary evaluation and then assigned by the section editor to at least two (and when necessary, three) independent external reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. All manuscripts are evaluated through a double-blind peer review process, in which neither the identities of the authors nor those of the reviewers are disclosed. Manuscripts returned to authors along with reviewers’ reports must be revised and resubmitted to the editor within the specified period.

ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences uses the Open Journal Systems (OJS) for online manuscript submission and editorial management. All articles published in the journal are made available to stakeholders with unlimited and free online access in accordance with the open access publishing policy. Open Journal Systems provide wider national and international visibility compared to subscription-based distribution models, thereby increasing the scientific impact of published articles. In addition, OJS offers researchers convenient opportunities for indexing, archiving, re-access, and unrestricted dissemination.

All articles published in the journal have been assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) since 2020. Furthermore, as of January 2020, it has been mandatory for all authors to provide their ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) numbers on the article title page. Authors who do not have an ORCID ID are required to register at www.orcid.org to obtain one.
Manuscripts with missing or incorrect ORCID IDs will not be considered for evaluation. During the manuscript submission process, the Title Page must be completed accurately and in full in this regard.
