Author Guidelines

1. Plagiarism and Originality

Plagiarism involves using or closely imitating another author’s work without proper attribution. Duplicate publication (self-plagiarism) occurs when an author reuses substantial portions of their previously published work without citation. Manuscripts submitted to Agrivetary will undergo a similarity check, and the similarity index must be ≤18% before review.

If plagiarism is identified post-publication, the journal will notify the author’s institution and funding agencies, and any instances will be documented in the published article.

2. Manuscript Preparation

Language: Manuscripts must be written in English.
Font & Spacing: Cambria, size 10, single line spacing.
