Today it is clear that organic agriculture (OA) is a viable option to overcome many environmental and health challenges, but it needs further development (Organic 3.0). The results of the research must be published in scientific journals to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the findings. Unfortunately, many OA researchers are not aware of the importance of scientific publication in peer-reviewed journals, publication standards, technical procedures and research marketing. Therefore, a large proportion of OA research results are not published in recognized, reliable and respected peer-reviewed journals while ISOFAR has its own high ranked Springer Journal “Organic Agriculture” which is an international multidisciplinary journal publishing research on organic agricultural related food systems and extends coverage to soil, plant production, animal husbandry, resource management, agroecology, and many more topics.
This workshop has been designed especially for junior researchers to meet senior researchers. It has provided a forum for relevant information and the chance to discuss questions in OA research. In this workshop which dated on Dec. 4th, 2024 and moderated by Prof. Raffaele Zanoli (Editor-in- Chief of Organic Agriculture, Springer Journal) and Prof. Daniel Neuhoff (Associate Editor of Organic Agriculture, section: Plant and Soil), the lecturers discussed on important challenges on how to construct a high-quality scientific paper from the introduction till the conclusions.
