Article Writing Guide

The Journal of Plant Production Research accepts research and review articles in the field of crop and horticulture with a focus on plant production. An article will be accepted for publication whose full text has not been previously published in any journal or for publication in other journals. Submitted articles can be in Persian or English (with special conditions), but the abstract must be prepared in both languages. In articles that have several authors, the order of the authors' names and rights will be the responsibility of the sender of the article. Each article will be scientifically responsible for the author (s). The publication is free to reject or accept, engrave and modify articles.

A research article is an article that is the result of research and is based on the results of individual or collective research. A review article includes the evaluation and critique of writings that have been published in various scientific journals and books in the same field. In this type of article, the author examines the past research works to clarify the current state of the problem, and then expresses the existing connections, contradictions, and limitations, and finally presents his suggestions. Translated articles are accepted only if they contain a very important scientific method or issue. Each research article should have a title, Persian abstract, keywords in Persian, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion, sources, English abstract and keywords in English and the following principles should be observed in it:

1) The title of the article should be short and clear and should not exceed 15 words.

2) Each article should have a file containing the details of the article, including the name and surname of the author (s), academic ranking and address in both Persian and English, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail.
