The Editorial office is committed to the permanent availability and preservation of scholarly research with INTERNET ARCHIVE. Moreover, the Editorial office allows self-archiving of accepted and published papers through open access policy. Authors retain the copyright of their work and can archive pre-print and post-print or publisher’s version/PDF to personal or institutional repositories or libraries without requiring permission from the journal or publisher.
We support authors in letting people know about the work that they have published through Open Access under a CC-BY license. The Editorial Office also shares a DOI-Link to the final published version as it always securely directs people to the correct page even if the website URL would change. Authors are recommended to use their ORCiD when submitting an article for consideration or acquire an ORCiD via the submission process.
To ensure that all communications representing the journal are of high quality, consistent and accurate, conform to policy approved by the Society for Innovative Agriculture (SIA) and adhere to style and standards guidelines, it is the policy that all communications be reviewed and approved by the Editorial office.
The journal uses plagiarism detection software Turnitin to screen the submissions. If plagiarism is identified, the COPE guidelines on plagiarism are followed. The journal also follows Higher Education Commission, Pakistan plagiarism guidelines.
In the case of an authorship dispute during peer review or after acceptance and publication, the Editorial office will not be able to investigate or adjudicate. Authors will be asked to resolve the dispute themselves. If they are unable, the Editorial office reserves the right to withdraw manuscript from the editorial process or in case of a published paper, raise the issue with the authors’ institution(s) and abide by its guidelines.
We publish Open Access articles under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Authors of open access articles published in this journal retain the copyright of their articles and are free to reproduce and disseminate their work.
Changes in authorship, including the addition of authors, the removal of authors, or the reordering of authors, must comply with our authorship criteria. In case of any change of authorship, the corresponding author has the responsibility of obtaining the consent of all authors.
Editorial office is aware that name changes can be sensitive and/or private in nature, for a variety of reasons that may include alignment with gender identity, marriage, divorce, or religious conversion. Therefore, to protect author identity, an Erratum will not be published, and co-authors will not be notified of any change unless the author explicitly chooses to include a public notice alongside the name change request. The article DOI will remain the same. The PDF and the XML of the article will be changed, and the updated metadata will be re-delivered to indexing agencies and third parties; however, Editorial office cannot guarantee changes on other platforms or databases. Similarly, the Editorial office is unable to update citations to articles in which a name change has occurred.
To request a name change, please fill out the form below with your request, the DOIs of the manuscript(s) in question, and confirmation as to whether or not you permit the Editorial office to contact the co-authors to inform them of the change. The completed form will be sent to a dedicated inbox, which is accessed and managed by an employee. The author will receive a proof with the changes and asked to review and approve it before publication.
