COI, authorship, and contributions

All authors must disclose any financial, employment, institutional, professional, academic, family, or personal conflicts of interest that could influence the conception, conduct, interpretation, or publication of the manuscript.

Reviewers must refrain from evaluating manuscripts when there is an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest. In case of doubt, they must inform the editor before agreeing to review the manuscript.

Editors and members of the editorial team must recuse themselves from involvement in manuscripts where there is a conflict of interest with authors, funders, institutions, or study results.

Authorship must reflect a substantive and verifiable intellectual contribution. The journal does not accept honorary, invited, gifted, or ghost authorship.

AgroPS adopts the CRediT taxonomy to ensure transparency regarding contributions. Each manuscript must specify the role of each author, including at least one of the following: conceptualization, methodology, research, data management, formal analysis, drafting the original manuscript, revising and editing the text, supervision, project management, and securing funding, as applicable.
