Ongoing Special Issue
Journal of Farming (JF) maintains ongoing special issues that highlight urgent themes in agriculture, sustainability, and food systems.
These collections publish articles on a rolling basis to keep evidence current and discoverable.
Ongoing special issues are curated collections focused on a defined theme. Articles are published as soon as they are accepted, creating a living resource for the agricultural community.
Themes are selected based on scientific urgency, practical relevance, and potential to advance sustainable farming.
Climate resilient farming
Adaptive practices that protect yields under variable conditions.
Soil health and carbon
Soil management, conservation, and carbon sequestration strategies.
Precision agriculture
Remote sensing, sensors, and data driven farm management.
Livestock systems
Sustainable animal production, welfare, and feed efficiency.
- Confirm your manuscript aligns with the current special issue scope.
- Follow the standard Instructions For Author.
- Identify the special issue theme in the cover letter and submission notes.
- Highlight how your work advances the selected theme.
If your manuscript addresses an adjacent theme, the editorial office can advise whether it should be submitted to the special issue or the regular issue.
All special issue submissions undergo single blind peer review and follow the same ethical and reporting standards as regular issues. The editorial office ensures consistent quality and integrity across the collection.
Align your abstract and keywords with the special issue theme. Include clear descriptions of farm conditions, management practices, and outcome measures so readers can compare results across regions.
Manuscripts that provide practical implications for growers and extension services are more likely to attract attention and citations.
Important: Manuscripts that do not closely match the special issue theme may be considered for the regular issue to avoid delays.
Special issues increase thematic visibility and place your work alongside related studies, improving discovery and citation potential. Focused collections help shape the research agenda and guide practice.
Authors benefit from targeted promotion, cross article visibility, and stronger engagement from readers who follow the selected theme.
JF promotes ongoing special issues through journal channels and discovery platforms. This focused outreach helps practitioners, researchers, and policymakers find the most relevant evidence quickly.
Ongoing special issues are published online as soon as articles are accepted and finalized. This model reduces delays and ensures timely access for researchers, extension services, and farmers.
Early online publication allows results to inform planting decisions, input planning, and seasonal management without waiting for a complete issue release.
If you have an idea for a new special issue theme, submit a brief proposal outlining the topic, relevance, and potential contributors. The editorial office will review proposals and may request additional details.
