Field Crops Research (field-crops-research)
Journal positioning
Field Crops Research, published by Elsevier, is an agronomy and crop-physiology journal centred on field-scale crop performance: yield and its determinants, resource-use efficiency (water, nitrogen, radiation), cropping systems, crop modeling, and management across environments. Its defining expectation is rigorous, adequately replicated field experimentation that generalizes across environments — multi-site and/or multi-season evidence, or modeling validated against field data. A single site-year, unreplicated trial, or a pot/glasshouse study generalized to the field without field validation is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Field Crops Research author guidance.
