Publishing journals and scientific literature is now a big time business. So factors of demand and supply do play a very important role so far as marketing of these journals is concerned. The potential market for these journals is less with less readership, less sales, less citations etc. as compared to journals dealing with basic sciences and other applied sciences.
Impact factor takes into account the number of times the articles published in the journal are being cited by other authors along with a number of other factors. Some how the agricultural science journals are not able to compete with journals from other streams. This might be one of the reasons for their low Impact factors.
Dr Singhji very nice. I think Agricultural research (especially applied research) could not able to replicate between different climatic conditions. Many times results restrict to that provenience.
