Review procedure

The review procedure for the Global Journal of Food and Agricultural Sciences is meticulously structured to ensure the publication of high-quality, impactful research that advances the fields of food science and agricultural practices on a global scale. Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial assessment to confirm adherence to the journal's formatting guidelines and ethical standards. If the manuscript meets these preliminary criteria, it is forwarded for peer review, where two to four independent experts in food science, agricultural sciences, and related disciplines are selected to evaluate the work. Reviewers assess the manuscript based on several critical factors, including the originality and significance of the research question, the rigor of the methodology, the clarity and coherence of the writing, and the relevance of the findings to contemporary issues in food production and agricultural sustainability. Typically, reviewers are allotted 2-4 weeks to complete their evaluations. Following the review process, the editorial team compiles the feedback and recommendations, categorizing the manuscript as accepted, requiring minor revisions, requiring major revisions, or rejected. If revisions are necessary, authors receive detailed comments and are given a specified timeframe to address the reviewers' concerns before resubmitting their manuscript. The editorial team then reviews the revised submission, which may be sent back to the original reviewers for further assessment. A final decision is made based on the comprehensive feedback received, and authors are promptly notified of the outcome. Once a manuscript is accepted, it undergoes final editing and formatting to ensure it meets the journal's publication standards. This rigorous review process not only maintains the integrity of the journal but also promotes the dissemination of significant research that enhances food and agricultural sciences, ultimately benefiting researchers, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide.
