EDITORIAL POLICY
Preprints
|
We inform that the use of preprints is an option and choice of the authors, considering that preprints share with Journals the originality in the publication of manuscripts and inhibit the use of the double blind procedure in evaluating manuscripts. However, we suggest that the authors who are interested in this form of publication use reliable platforms recognized by SciELO Preprints and inform the Journal about this practice, formatting the manuscript in accordance with our Journal's standards. |
Peer Review Process
|
The purpose of the evaluation is to help authors improve the quality of their work by providing constructive and timely evaluations prepared by experienced reviewers from renowned institutions. Engenharia Agrícola considers the evaluation process to be a fundamental step for the improvement of manuscripts. For this reason, Engenharia Agrícola reviewers are encouraged to present, in addition to the opinion on the publication, suggestions for improvement regarding the content and form of the text. The review process of the manuscript submitted to the Engenharia Agrícola consists on two steps. The first is a preliminary evaluation by the Editor-in-chief and Adjunt Editor, who examine: adequacy to the aims and scope of the Journal, technical grammatical and formal norms, relevance, content, textual coherence, theoretical and methodological consistency. The second consists of peer-review process, carried out by three ad hoc consultants. The Editorial Board of the Journal has the rule to submit each manuscript received to the Field Area Editors, who in turn forward it for review by three Scientific Reviewers, with the main objectives: a) check whether the subject is appropriate for the Journal; b) verify whether the information is sufficiently new to justify its publication, and c) check whether it is presented in a convenient way, especially with regard to clarity, accuracy and conciseness of language. The reviewer considers, primarily, the scientific quality of the text, focusing on the following aspects:
The result of the review process will be sent to the first author of the manuscript, by e-mail.
In line with Open Science communication practices, the Journal now adopts in its editorial policy, the opening of the peer review process in agreement with the reviewer. In addition, authors may choose one or more means of opening the peer review process offered by the Journal, as well as authors may agree to interact directly with reviewers responsible for evaluating the manuscript, when offered the option. Please, see the Open Science Compliance Form. This Journal follows the Gold Open Access model. |
Open Data
|
The Engenharia Agrícola encourages the sharing of the analysis datasets, instruments, statistical analysis scripts, roadmaps, and additional materials, made available at Open online repositories, such as Guide to promoting the opening, transparency and reproducibility of research published by SciELO Journals or, also, Zenodo, Figshare and OSF, if they cannot be published in the manuscript itself, and this information must be indicated in the manuscript. As a result, manuscripts that communicate research should indicate and reference the availability of the contents underlying the elaboration of the research and the results obtained. |

Policy on Conflict of Interest
|
They should be communicated not only by the authors, but by everyone involved in the editorial process of a manuscript. Editors should avoid making decisions about manuscripts that conflict with their own interests, such as those submitted by authors in their department or research collaborators. If editors have a conflict of interest, they should delegate decision-making to other editors. Reviewers should consider any type of conflict of interest before evaluating the manuscript. Working relationships with the author should be considered (e.g., participating or having participated in a research project; maintaining or having maintained scientific collaboration with research groups; having an orientation relationship with the author; having a financial interest in the project involved in the manuscript). See submission process to access to the conflict of interest form. |
Adoption of similarity software
|
As part of the actions to safeguard the manuscript integrity with an AI writing detection solution, the Turnitin was adopted as the first step on the manuscript submission process to the Journal since 2017. |
Adoption of software and use of Artificial Intelligence resources
|
The Engenharia Agrícola Editorial will not accepted the Chatbots as the author of a research paper, as the artificial intelligence tools cannot take responsibility for the development of a research. If AI systems are used in research papers, this must be documented and included in the methodology or in the acknowledgments, or other similar form of citation. |

Photographs: can be colored. In the discussion, compare the results with the data obtained in the Bibliography. EQUATIONS All equations that are part of the text should be aligned with the paragraph and numbered as follows: y = ax + b (1) in which y - speed m s-1; a - angular coefficient; x - speed, rpm; b - linear coefficient. TECHNICAL MANUSCRIPT Should include advances in theories, methodologies and techniques, without a hypothesis presentation. When dealing with a case study, the conclusions should present proposals. It should be written in technical language, easy to understand, on matters of interest to the Agricultural Engineering by author(s) showing experience on the subject dealt, allowing guidance to the different users of Agricultural Engineering. It only justifies submitting manuscripts that bring contribution on the subject and not just personal cases or restricted interest. With freer style than in scientific manuscripts, technical manuscripts should, in most cases, include the following items: Title, Author(s), Abstract, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, description of the subject, Conclusions and References. The text of the technical manuscripts should followthe same guidelines for scientific manuscripts, with the following particular remarks: HEADER: TECHNICAL MANUSCRIPT should appear in the header of the first page, in CAPITAL LETTERS, underlined, in bold, centered and spaced 1.1 cm from the top edge. INTRODUCTION: should contain brief background, explaining the importance, the current status of the subject, relying on literature review, and make clear the aim of the manuscripts. SUBJECT DESCRIPTION: with different titles that can be divided into sub-items, the matter should be discussed, pointing up the theoretical basis, bringing experiences and recommendations, discussing and criticizing situations, based on the fullest bibliography and technical standards on the subject. CONCLUSIONS: When appropriate, should be written in a clear and concise manner, consistent with the goal established. Should not be a simple resubmission of other paragraphs of the manuscript. REVIEW MANUSCRIPT It is the presentation, exclusively by a request of the Editorial Committee, of a study by gathering, analyzing and discussing an issue of importance to the Agricultural Engineering, and based on extensive literature search, allowing compilation of existing knowledge. Although with more stylistic freedom than in scientific mnauscripts, review manuscripts should contain the following items: Title, Author(s), Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Review, Conclusions and References. The writing of these items should follow the same guidelines described for scientific manuscripts, with the following particular remarks: Header: REVIEW MANUSCRIPT should appear on the front page headline in CAPITAL LETTERS, underlined, in bold, centered and spaced 1.1 cm from the top edge. INTRODUCTION: should contain brief background, placing the importance, the current status of the subject and purpose of the review. REVIEW: follow the standards of the Journal citation. If necessary, it can be divided by subjects in sub items. The essay should be critical and not just mere exposure of the issues; it must present a logical sequence in order of subjects and / or chronological. Whenever possible, should contain an analysis of comparative studies on the subject dealt. CONCLUSIONS: should be presented clearly and concisely, consistent with the goals established. It should not be a simple restatement of paragraphs of the review.
