Guide for Authors
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture provides international coverage of advances in the development and application of computer hardware, software, electronic instrumentation, and control systems for solving problems in agriculture, including agronomy, horticulture (in both its food and amenity aspects), forestry, aquaculture, and animal/livestock farming.
The journal publishes original papers, reviews, and applications notes on topics pertaining to advances in the use of computers or electronics in plant or animal agricultural production, including agricultural soils, water, pests, controlled environments, structures, and wastes, as well as the plants and animals themselves. Post-harvest operations considered part of agriculture (such as drying, storage, logistics, production assessment, trimming and separation of plant and animal material) are also covered. Relevant areas of technology include artificial intelligence, sensors, machine vision, robotics, networking, and simulation modelling.
Types of paper
1. Original research papers
2. Review articles
3. Application notes
4. Book reviews
Original research papers should report the results of original research. The material should not have been previously published elsewhere, except in a preliminary form.
Review articles should cover subjects falling within the scope of the journal which are of active current interest. They may be submitted or invited.
An Application note is a short but complete description of a specific application, which will not be included in a later paper. It should not occupy more than 4 printed pages (about 8 manuscript pages, including figures, tables and references).
Book reviews will be included in the journal on a range of relevant books which are no more than 2 years old.
Unsolicited reviews will not usually be accepted, but suggestions for appropriate books for review may be sent to one of the Editors-in-Chief.
