For authors

Author Guidelines

The authors are requested to submit their manuscripts and cover letters via the online submission system of Global Agricultural Research at https://gar-stgau.ru/index.php/gar/about/submissions Prior registration is required. The manuscripts revised after the peer-review process are uploaded following the same submission thread, without initiating a new submission.

Articles are submitted online via the electronic system of the journal. Authors are requested to register in the system.

When registering, the author should pay attention to the correct and complete filling in of all mandatory registration forms. Correspondence between the author and the editorial board is carried out only via the electronic system of the journal.

Before submitting the article, authors are requested to check their manuscripts with the requirements of the journal. Low quality of the article materials can result in an increase in the peer review time. The submission of articles that have already been published or are under consideration by another journal is not permitted. If simultaneous submission of a manuscript to multiple publications is discovered, the published article will be retracted.

Formatting

The Journal considers submissions presented either in the Russian or English languages. The metadata (title, abstract, keywords, author information) should be provided both in Russian and English. The editors offer language support to non-Russian authors in preparing their metadata in Russian (when the article is written in English).

The manuscript, including the bibliography list, should be 4–10 pages in length. Formatting requirements: 12 Times New Roman, 1 line spacing, 3 cm margins.

  1. Information about the authors:
    - Full names of all co-authors;
    -Affiliations (place of work/study) including the city and the country;
    - ORCIDs of all co-authors;
    - Corresponding author, email.

  2. Article title briefly (no more than 12 words) and accurately reflects the research topic and findings.

  3. Abstract (100 to 150 words) outlines the research problem and the research aim, specifies the research techniques used, and summarizes the findings. The use of keywords in the abstract facilitates the online search by potential readers.

  4. Keyword list (5–7) includes the search terms, which reflect the main ideas, achievements, results, and terminology of the conducted research.

  5. Analytical or theoretical articles must be structured with an introduction, a body divided into logically coherent subsections (each with a heading), and a conclusion. Empirical research articles, however, should adhere to the following specific IMRAD sequence:
    Introduction: research background, formulation of the research aims and objectives;
    Materials and Methods: detailed description of research techniques, materials, software, and equipment;
    Results and Discussion: presentation of the results obtained, supported by figures and tables, and their interpretation based on previous research both by the authors and other researchers.
    Conclusion: summary of the main findings, discussion of limitations, indication of future research directions.

  6. Acknowledgments/Funding (if applicable). This section includes sources of funding, including project and/or grant numbers. Persons, organizations, foundations, etc., who provided any assistance in the conduct of the study are acknowledged.

  7. References. The number of cited sources in the text should be at least 10, with about their third being recent (published in the last three years). The reliance on high-quality sources enhances the research validity significantly. The reference list should include only credible publications (not retracted or published in discontinued journals). All other sources (GOST standards, textbooks, links to websites, etc.) are not included in the references list and given in the form of footnotes. In-text references are placed in the order of their mention in the text in square brackets (e.g. [5]). The references are formatted according to the template. Article DOIs (if available) should be included.
