The purpose of Ciência Rural is to publish the results of original research, note and reviews which contribute significantly to knowledge in Agricultural Sciences. Preference will be given to original articles that develop news concepts or experimental approaches and are not merely repositories of scientific data. The decison of acceptance for publication lies with the Editors and is based on the recommendations of Editorial Comission, Area Committee and/ or ad hoc reviewers. The editors and reviewers are external to the institution.
