ATTENTION
Dear Visitors of our Website,
It has come to our attention that unscrupulous individuals have been impersonating the Turkish Journal of Field Crops over the past five years (between 2020 and 2024). They have engaged in the deceitful practice of accepting manuscripts outside of our journal's scope and publishing them in a counterfeit electronic journal. These actions are perpetrated by individuals lacking integrity, who have exploited the reputation of our esteemed journal without remorse.
We strongly advise against trusting any suspicious offers or visiting fake websites claiming association with our journal. Such deceitful practices not only undermine the credibility of genuine scientific publications but also pose a threat to the integrity of the scientific community as a whole.
We urge you to exercise caution and vigilance when engaging with online platforms claiming affiliation with the Turkish Journal of Field Crops. Should you encounter any questionable activity or receive dubious offers purportedly from our journal, please report them to us immediately.
Thank you for your attention and continued support.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Emre İLKER
Editor - in - Chief
