Submission guidelines

Instructions for Authors

General

The Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics (JABES) publishes papers of immediate and practical value to applied researchers and statistical consultants in the agricultural sciences, the biological sciences (including biotechnology), and the environmental sciences (including those dealing with natural resources). Only papers that address applied statistical problems will be considered. Interdisciplinary papers as well as papers that illustrate the application of new and important statistical methods using real data are strongly encouraged. For regular papers, a motivating example should be presented early in the paper. The statistical development should then be presented, and the results applied to the example. Expository, review, and survey articles addressing broad-based statistical issues are encouraged. Presentation should be accurate, clear, and comprehensible to readers with a background in statistical applications. When necessary, detailed proofs, computer code, and other lengthy technical portions of a manuscript should be placed in an appendix so that they will not interfere with the primary focus on the paper, which is to be a discussion of the statistical methods and issues being addressed. Real data should almost always be used to illustrate the statistical applications being discussed. Articles that have been previously published in a refereed journal or articles that are under review by another journal may not be submitted to JABES.

Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics encourages authors to include with published papers, where possible, electronic supplementary materials which will be published online on SpringerLink with the article. This includes data and code. Data and code should be clearly documented to allow replication and verification of the results presented in the final version of the paper, and should be submitted together with your manuscript.

Manuscript Submission

Manuscripts submitted in LATEX should generally use the “article” style and should not use any special macros.Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

When submitting a manuscript, please DO NOT include any of your personal information (name, affiliation, etc.) or acknowledgments anywhere in the manuscript or on the cover page. This is to ensure a double-blinded review process. Thank you.

Permissions

Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

Online Submission

Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please follow the hyperlink “Submit online” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.

For queries regarding submission, e-mail jabes.editor@gmail.com. Each manuscript should be completely double-spaced, with one-inch margins and 12- point size letters.

Abstracts

Each manuscript should contain an abstract of about 200 words. Authors must pay great attention to the content and language of the abstract. The first part of the abstract should succinctly describe the manuscript’s motivation and statistical contribution. For the benefit of JABES’s broad readership, the remainder of the abstract should amplify and illustrate, preferably using concrete examples and interesting special cases.

Keywords

Please provide three to six key words or phrases (that do not appear in the title) in alphabetical order. For published manuscripts, these key words will be used, in addition to the title, for indexing in BIOSIS, Current Index to Statistics, Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences (CC/AB&ES), The Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index Expanded, Agricultural On Line Access (AGRICOLA),and Compumath Citation Index.

Length of Manuscripts

Normally, papers exceeding 25 pages in the style described above will be returned to the authors by the editor without review. Please note that the page limits include the appendixes, but not tables and figures. Papers appearing in the journal should rarely have more than six (6) tables or figures combined. Authors are strongly encouraged to be judicious in the use of tabular and graphical displays and should not combine what ought to be several tables or figures into very large single ones. Papers with an extreme number of tables and/or figures may be returned by the editor without review. It is recognized, however, that graphical depictions or images are essential for conveying the message in some substantive areas. In such circumstances, more figures than in the typical submission may be appropriate, and authors should note this explicitly in a covering letter. References to Web sites where additional figures, tables, or mathematical material (such as proofs) may be found are permitted.

General Comments on Style

Do not use footnotes, and avoid abbreviations. References within the text should give the authors’ names, followed by the year of publication in parentheses. Mathematical material in the manuscript should be set using standard mathematical typography. This is normally done using LATEX (and its variants) or mathematical typesetting options such as the Equation Editor or MathType in Word. Please ensure that matrices and vectors are always set in bold. Complicated exponentials should be represented by the symbol exp(). Fractions in the body of the text (and when possible in displayed expressions) and fractions occurring in the numerators or denominators of fractions should be written with the solidus—for example, (a +b)/(c + d).

Figures and Tables

Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively at the top with Arabic numerals and clearly titled and labeled. Figures must be visually clear and capable of withstanding reduction. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors should submit electronic files of all figures. The following formats are accepted: .PS, .EPS, .TIF, .BMP, .JPG, or .PCX. Other formats are also accepted; please contact the ASA production office with any questions. Normally figures will be printed in gray scale or black and white. Color figures are extremely expensive to produce and JABES encourages authors to avoid color unless absolutely necessary. Extra page charges may be levied for color reproduction. Detailed guidelines for preparation of figures and tables are provided in the ASA Style Guide.

Data and Programs

Real, current data should almost always be used to illustrate the statistical applications being discussed. The source of the data must be fully documented. When it is not practical to include the whole dataset in the paper, the paper should state how the complete dataset can be obtained. Exceptions for reasons of security or confidentiality may be granted by the Editor. Authors are strongly encouraged to upload the data analyzed, and copies of the computer programs used in the analysis as online supplements to the article.

References

Citation

Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:

Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).

This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).

This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.

Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Please alphabetize according to the following rules: 1) For one author, by name of author, then chronologically; 2) For two authors, by name of author, then name of coauthor, then chronologically; 3) For more than two authors, by name of first author, then chronologically.

If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).

If you are unsure, please use the full journal title.

Electronic Files

Once a paper has been accepted for publication, the author will be asked to forward an electronic copy of at least the text. Therefore, in order to save time and expense, it is highly recommended that the original manuscript be created in the electronic format in which it will be sent. To save both the author and JABES editing time, we urge that electronic files be sent in formats according to the following order of preference:

1. LATEX (preferred) or TEX.

2. Word or WordPerfect.

3. All other formats, one copy in original format, one saved as ASCII text.

Submitting Revised Manuscripts

Revised manuscripts that are resubmitted more than six months after the last action by the editor may be considered as new submissions.

Copyright

JABES is copyrighted and authors must sign a copyright transfer before their articles are published. U.S. government employees are exempt from this requirement if the work is part of their official duties.

English Language Editing

For editors and reviewers to accurately assess the work presented in your manuscript you need to ensure the English language is of sufficient quality to be understood. If you need help with writing in English you should consider:

Asking a colleague who is a native English speaker to review your manuscript for clarity.

Visiting the English language tutorial which covers the common mistakes when writing in English.

Using a professional language editing service where editors will improve the English to ensure that your meaning is clear and identify problems that require your review. Two such services are provided by our affiliates Nature Research Editing Service and American Journal Experts. Springer authors are entitled to a 10% discount on their first submission to either of these services, simply follow the links below.

Please note that the use of a language editing service is not a requirement for publication in this journal and does not imply or guarantee that the article will be selected for peer review or accepted.

If your manuscript is accepted it will be checked by our copyeditors for spelling and formal style before publication.
