ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Historic background

 

The Department of Agricultural Engineering (DEAg) (today the Agricultural Engineering Academic Unit - UAEA) of the Science and Technology Center (CCT) (today the Center of Technology and Natural Resources - CTRN) of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) (today the Federal University of Campina Grande - UFCG), State of Paraíba, Brazil, taking into account the growing importance of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering for irrigated agriculture in the world, decided to launch, at the 209th Ordinary Meeting held on 12/09/1997, the Brazilian Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering – AGRIAMBI (ISSN: 1807-1929 – online; 1415-4366 – printed). The Associación Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Ingeniería Agrícola – ALIA, at the General Assembly held on 11/08/2000, in Guanajuato – Mexico, during the Latin American Congress of Agricultural Engineering (CLIA 2000), decided in favor of AGRIAMBI becoming ALIA Official Journal, a decision that was endorsed by the DEAg/CCT/UFPB Board, at the 236th Ordinary Meeting held on 12/10/2000. In the periods from 1997 to 2004, 2005 to 2006, and 2007 to 2009 the Journal was published every four months, quarterly and bimonthly, respectively, and since 2010 the Journal has been published monthly, in electronic format, by UAEA. All articles published in the Journal, since the beginning of its edition in 1997, are available online on the Journal's website and on the SciELO website, free of charge. Reproduction of published articles is permitted, provided the source is cited. In bibliographical captions, footnotes and references, an abbreviated title may be used in the following form: Rev. Bras. Eng. Agríc. Ambient., Campina Grande.

Peer review process

 

a) In a first stage, articles submitted in each fortnight of the month are evaluated by the Editorial Team, and those that do not fit into the Journal's publication policy or, even, that do not bring a relevant scientific contribution, are rejected by the Editorial Team, on the basis of relative relevance criterion. The articles selected in this first stage are returned to the author(s) for reformulation in accordance with the Journal's norms, before being sent for evaluation to reviewers.

b) With the help of the opinions and suggestions of three reviewers on the first version of the article, the Editorial Team may accept or reject the article or ask the author(s) for a second version which, again, is evaluated by reviewers as well as the Editorial Team. In its second version, the article may be rejected, approved and/or returned to the author(s) foradaptation/modification.

c) It should be noted that, regardless of the reviewers' opinions, the Editorial Team, in any round of evaluation, is responsible for the final decision on approval or rejection of the article and the right to suggest or request modifications to the manuscript, deemed necessary.

d) In principle, suggestions from reviewers and the Editorial Team must be incorporated into the manuscript by the author(s); however, they have the right not to accept them upon express justification, which is analyzed by the reviewer(s) and the Editorial Team.

e) In the case of approval of an article, the Editorial Team asks the corresponding author to get the English revised by a firm accredited by the Journal and, before its layout, if necessary, additional information is requested from the corresponding author. Subsequently, the diagrammed article is sent to the corresponding author in the form of a PDF file, for final review, who will inform the Editorial Team of any corrections after consulting other authors.

f) At the top of the first page of the PDF file of the published article, the link to the article's doi is provided on the left side and on the right side is mentioned if the publication is an Original Article or Review of Literature.

g) At the bottom of the first page of the PDF file of the published article, the name of the Editors responsible for evaluating the article is mentioned, as well as the protocol, dates of receipt, acceptance, and publication of the article.

h) After publication, any errors found by authors or readers, when communicated to the Editorial Team, will after due verification, be corrected through an errata in the next issue of the Journal.

i) Any information regarding the submitted article, the corresponding author may request from the Journal by providing the identification number of the submission in the SciELO System (ID), for example 283312.

 

 

Open data

In the Literature Cited item, the corresponding author must provide the link to the publication's DOI at the end of the bibliographic reference of all scientific articles, when available.

 

 

Text editing

 

a) Microsoft Office 2016 Word: The article should only be edited in this version of Word.

b) Text: Times New Roman font, size 12. There should be no words in bold or italics in the text, except for the title, items and sub-items, which must be in bold, and the scientific names of plant and animal species, which should be in italics. In equations, tables and figures there should be no italics or bold. Equations must be written in the MS Equation application.

c) Spacing: double throughout the text of the manuscript.

d) Paragraph: 0.5 cm.

e) Page: A4 paper, portrait orientation, top and bottom margins of 2.54 cm and left and right margins of 3.00 cm. Pages and lines must be numbered; the numbering of the lines must be continuous, that is, continuing from one page to the next.

f) All items in capital letters, in bold and centered, except Abstract and Resumo, which must be aligned to the left, and Key words and Palavras-chave aligned to the left and only the first letter capitalized. Subitems must be aligned to the left, in bold and only the first letter capitalized.

g) The quantities must be expressed in the IS (International System) and the scientific terminology must follow the international conventions of each area in question.

h) Digital assets (tables, figures, graphs, maps, images, photographs, drawings)

Tables and figures must be self-explanatory and 8.75 or 18 cm wide, with text in Times New Roman font, size 9 and inserted just below the paragraph in which they are cited for the first time. Examples of citations in the text: Figure 1; Table 1. Figures that have practically the same title should be grouped into a single figure, creating, however, an indicator of differentiation. The indicator letter for each subfigure in a grouped figure must be capitalized and with a full stop (.) at the end (example: A.), positioned on the upper left side of the figure. The grouped figures must be cited in the text, as follows: Figure 1A; Figure 1B; Figures 1A and B. Tables and figures measuring 18 cm wide will exceed the left and right margins of 3 cm, without any problems.

Tables must not have vertical dashes and a minimum of horizontal dashes. In the columns, numeric values must be aligned by the last digit. Example of the title, which should be above the table: Table 1. Selected INMET stations (without a full stop (.) at the end). In tables that present the comparison of means, according to statistical analysis, there must be a space between the numerical value (average) and the letter.

Figures must not have borders and their curves (in the case of graphics) can be colored, but always have different caption markers, since captions based only on colors will disappear when xeroxed. Example of the title, which should be below the figure: Figure 1. Accumulated soil loss depending on the time of application of simulated rain (without a full stop (.) at the end).

To avoid becoming redundant, figures should not have data contained in tables. Graphs, diagrams (curves in general) must come in vector images. When dealing with bitmap figures, the minimum resolution must be 300 bpi. Authors must strive for the quality of resolution of the figures in order to ensure a good understanding of them.

Legends, axes and axis titles of the figures must be legible and contain Times New Roman font and no italics or bold letters must be used. In cases of equal axis titles for Figures 1A, B, C... center the axis title for all figures. Figures with captions must have different markers for each curve, as figures with captions only based on color, when printed in black and white the captions disappear, making it impossible to identify each curve.

In case of research with treatments, inform in a table or figure, the value of the coefficient of variation (CV) for each variable evaluated. When there is regression analysis, provide, in a table or figure, for each equation the value of the coefficient of determination (R2) followed by the CV value; there should be no figures of curves with R2 less than 0.60; In these cases, include the equation and the respective R2 value in the discussion of the results. Place in each regression equation presented in a table or figure, the symbols of the significance of the coefficients (* or ** or ns), positioning it in superscript between the values of the coefficients and the variable. Place a footnote in Times New Roman 9 font in the figure or table stating the probability of significance of the equation coefficients and the statistical test adopted; example: ** - Significant at p ≤ 0.01 by the F test. Each experimental point plotted in the figure must have, through a vertical bar, the representation of the standard error or standard deviation, and a footnote with Times New Roman 9 font, must inform whether it is the standard error or standard deviation.

i) Citations and references
The norms for citations and references adopted by the Journal are an adaptation of the Vancouver standards.

Below are examples of citations in the text:

1) When the citation has only one author: Oliveira (2020) or (Oliveira, 2020).

2) When the citation has two authors: Thomaz & Fidalski (2020) or (Thomaz & Fidalski, 2020).

3) When the citation has more than two authors: Anjos et al. (2022) or (Anjos et al., 2022).

4) When the author of the work is an institution/company, the citation must be its acronym, in capital letters: EMBRAPA (2020) or (EMBRAPA, 2020).

5) When there are citations with one or two authors, having the same authors and being from the same year: Oliveira (2020a); Oliveira (2020b); Oliveira (2020a,b); Thomaz & Fidalski (2020a); Thomaz & Fidalski (2020b).

6) When there are citations with more than two authors, having the same name as the first author and being from the same year: Liu et al. (2020a); Liu et al., 2020b); (Liu et al. (2020a,b).
