Reviewer Guidelines

Journal of Agrotikos is a peer-reviewed, open access international journal established to invite scientists and educators worldwide to exchange and disseminate theory and practice oriented across the spectrum of agriculture.

Submitted articles will first be reviewed by the editors to determine whether the manuscript conforms to OJJ's author guidelines. Articles that have conformed to the journal template will be reviewed by reviewers. The final decision on article acceptance is made by the editors based on suggestions from the reviewers.

Generally, potential reviewers will be selected based on their reputation in the number and quality of national publications. In the next step, the editor will send an invitation letter to each prospective reviewer. After the prospective reviewers inform their willingness to review, the editor creates an account for each reviewer and then sends the manuscript through OJS.

Reviewers discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the article, how to improve the strength and quality of the paper, the novelty of the submitted paper, the suitability of the manuscript to the scope of the journal, the contribution of the article to knowledge and evaluate the relevance and originality of the manuscript.
