In case you need a specific article, keep me abreast!

Dear friend, here it link for journal in tropical agriculture in my country (Indonesia). this journal published by our university (the University of Lampung. this the link of Journal of Tropical Soils (http://journal.unila.ac.id/index.php/tropicalsoil/)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry - not especially for tropical agriculture, but a good journal for agriculture and food chemistry, and very short review time!

Dear friend, take a look of this link: http://www.jtropag.in/index.php/ojs

is from the Journal of Tropical Agriculture.

Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics see on web-page: http://www.jarts.info/index.php/jarts

Overall I think the choose of the journal should depend on your work and topic you wish to publish

Journal of Tropical Agriculture & Fruits, Malaysia

Tropical agriculture-may be explored based on your results

all the information you are looking for you will get from AJOL

There are plenty of journals. U select the journal based on ur area whether agronomy, pathology extension etc

First, make a quick search of articles on the field of your interest and see where they are published. For review lapse, you can see in every paper the date of submission and the date of approval, which can tell you approximate time of revision. Check impact factor for a few of the journals and select on this basis. Aim high and don’t be frustrated if the paper is rejected. Reviewers always make useful suggestions, even if rejecting the article, which can help you to improve the next version. All the best.

You check this link. It may usefull to find good journal. Follow the sublinks in there

The journal will depend on the type of work you want to publish. I have done all my research work in the tropics, and did once publish in the journal Tropical Agriculture, which I think was published from the West Indies (Trinidad and Tobago). But I think that that particular journal may no longer be published. You may know better. A coule of key bits of advice:

1. Impact factor is becoming increasingly important for anyone who want to make a career in research. Most journals will show their impact factor (which is a measure of how often their articles are cited by researchers) on the home page of their website. You can also find impact factors for all journals for previous years (as the most recent data is copyrighted) at various places on the web. I am attaching one for 2010. You could probably also get data for 2011 by now. The higher the value the better. Anything more than 1 is good for most young researchers. Good journals are 2 and above and really tough journals (Science and Nature for e.g.) can be 30+.

2. DO NOT be persuaded to publish in the growing number of junk online journals that are basically businesses that will publish anything they receive, as long as you pay them. I can give you more specifics on this if you want. I hire scientists and the more of these fake articles I see in the CV, the less likely I am to hire the person. In general, journals that have a printed version are more likely to be reliable. Thomson makes a list of 'authorized' journals, and you should be able to get a list of them on the web. It's rather hard to get a formal impact factor without being accredited by the Thomson system.

If you let us know your specific interest, we might be able to give more specific suggestions. Best of luck!

Hi Renaldo. Here is the impact factor file.

Thanks for info James.

I am very grateful

No problem Renaldo. Let me know if there is any more info along these lines I might be able to help with. One question for you, since you are at the Univ of WI in Trinidad & Tobago. Do you happen to know what happened with the journal Tropical Agriculture, which I think used to be published from there? If it no longer is, is there no plan to resurrect it? I have fond memories, as I got one of my first ever published papers there as part of a special edition on cassava.

Well James, due to a number of management and other issues the journal is not as relevant as it once was. However, I am told that plans are being put in place to bring this journal into the 21st century

Scientia Agricola (Brazil): http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_issues&pid=0103-9016&lng=pt&nrm=i

Agroforestry Systems: http://www.springerlink.com/content/0167-4366?MUD=MP (it has something for tropics)

And, like it was just said here, many journals are not specific for tropical agriculture. It will depend on what are you looking for.

Forest Ecol. Management, Agriculture Ecossystems and Environment, etc.

Experimental Agriculture, Cambridge University Press

Forget impact factors, there are not enough researchers in the world publishing papers on most tropical crops (e.g. tea, coffee, sweet potato etc) to justify a high impact factor

yes there are quite, for example Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, Biotropica, Agrociencia, Interciencia, or goes to www.sciencedirect.com

Please check the NAAS website. You can get the list of the journals along with the NAAS ratings. Hope this may be useful.

@ James Legg - The Journal " Tropical Agriculture" Published by the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago is still alive. Here is a link to their "recently" launched website "http://sta.uwi.edu/tropicalagriculture/journal.asp ." However, as my colleague Renaldo suggested, work is being done to upgrade some systems. For example, you are now able to submit your manuscript via email ([email protected]) , however, there is not yet a ScholarOne or other Editorial Management software, and review time may be long. For old time sakes James, I have attached latest table of contents of the lastest volume of Tropical Agriculture, which can be downloaded. Do enjoy!

Here's the one to choose, peer-reviewed, free of charge and open access and therfore useful in all parts of the world even where resources are limited (and with practical implication): JARTS - Journal of Agricutlure and Rural development in the Tropics and Subtropics

Impact factor might improve.

Thank you all for your comments. I must add that the Experimental Agriculture journal also has a focus on the tropics
