ATTENTION

Turkish Journal of Field Crops is the official publication of Society of Field Crops Scienct offers the latest developments in research to scientists active in field crops. Turkish Journal of Field Crops propose "Open Access" to the full text of research articles for the best interests of the scientific community. The Journal includes only the original research papers on the following topics:

• Breeding and Genetics
• Agronomy
• Physiology
• Forage Crops
• Medicinal and Aromatical Plants
• Biotechnology
• Utilization

All papers are reviewed by the scientists qualified to judge the quality of the research and presentation. Acceptance or rejection, however, is the decision of the Editorial Board. Acceptance of a paper is based solely on its scientific merit. Accepted manuscripts are published in the chronological order they have received.

Turkish Journal of Field Crops is indexed and abstracted in: Science Citation Index (SciSearch), WOS Core Collection (Clarivate), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition. In CABI Abstracts: Crops Physiology Abstr., Field Crops Abstr., Grasslands and Forage Abstr., Plant Breeding Abstr., Seed Abstr. and the ULAKBIM of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.

The journal is protected by copyright held by the publisher after the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission of a manuscript to Turkish Journal of Field Crops implies that it consists of unpublished new information and does not contain any material that has been published or is under review or consideration for publication elsewhere and that the work described has not been published previously in any language (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a thesis) and that it has been approved for submission by all of the authors.

Manuscript should be written in Microsoft Word, DIN-A4 pages, letter «Times New Roman» size 12, with 1.5 line spacing, 2 cm margins on each side, page and line numbers.

Word editor should be used to create tables, for tables each item should be placed into a separate cell. Dimensions of tables must be maximum 16 × 20 cm and minimum 8 cm wide. Tables are to be numbered with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are referred to in the text and have a brief, but self-explanatory title. Abbreviations or symbols used in the tables must be explained either in the table title or as a footnote.

Figures should be submitted in TIFF or JPG format and dimensions of figures must be maximum 16 × 20 cm and minimum 8 cm wide. All photos, graphs, illustrations and diagrams should be referred to as a figure and numbered, continually according to the order in which they are included in the text.

If any abbreviations are used in a paper, they shall be explained appropriately when they are used in the text for the first time. It is not advisable to use any abbreviations in the paper title or in the abstract. Then use the abbreviation throughout the entire article. The SI international system of measurement units should be used. Genus and species are always italicized. Do not italicize "spp." or "sensu stricto" or "sensu lato" that may follow genus and species.

.

The title should be short and clear and usually cover less than two printed lines. It should not include chemical formulas or arbitrary abbreviations. The list of authors and their affiliations, including city, state, country and the corresponding author’s email address should be provided in this section, marked with an asterisk for identification.

.

The abstract should be a single paragraph of 250 words or less. It should be specific, telling why and how the study was made, what the results were, and why they were important. In the abstract, the objectives, methods, results, and conclusions should be clearly articulated using concise sentences. Keywords (a maximum of 6 in alphabetical order) should differ from words mentioned in the title.

KEYWORDS

The main text of scientific paper must be developed under the following headings: Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion. Results and Discussion can be presented under one heading.

Introduction should outline the main reasons why the research was conducted; describe a brief review of literature consisting of refereed periodicals, journals and books, and the goal of the authors. It is recommended to include references to papers from reviewed or peer reviewed periodicals only.

All materials, experiments conducted, their extent, conditions and course should be described in detail in this section. All original procedures used for processing experimental material and all analytical methods used for evaluation should also be detailed. Data verifying the quality of acquired data should be indicated for the used methods. Methods of statistical processing, including the software used should also be listed in this section. Mathematical formulas should be written using the Equation tool. Company names should not be included in commercial materials such as equipment, chemicals, and varieties used.

It should be a single section as "Results and Discussion" or if necessary, can be split into separate "Results" and "Discussion" sections. Discussion should be logical and results must be discussed in the light of previous literature justifying your findings.

After the referee evaluations and last editing;

The author should make a contribution of USD 250 to share the publication costs. The Open Access publication model allows all interested readers to freely view, download, print, and redistribute articles without requiring a subscription. This enables far broader dissemination of an author’s work. Through Open Access, both the scientific community and the general public can access all published content immediately and at no cost once it becomes available online. However, open access publishing is not possible without expenses. Since we do not rely on online subscriptions, we cover editorial and production costs by collecting a manuscript handling fee from authors who wish to publish their articles under the Open Access model. The publication fee and payment information are stated on our website (https://www.field-crops.org/).
