Technical Areas of Publishing
Papers are accepted in the general fields of Agricultural, Food, Biosystems, and Environmental Engineering. A paper should fit into one of the following classifications: (1) a scientific paper based on original research; (2) a technical paper based on design, development, testing or analysis of machines, equipment, structures, processes, or practice; (3) a general paper on education relative to curricula and philosophy or trends in science, on a survey or investigation of some phase of research or research methods, or on extension or extension methods. Technical notes on equipment development, technique of measurement, or method of analysis also will be accepted.
The journal is divided into seven technical areas as listed below. Examples of paper titles are shown.
