Aims and Scope
Agriculture (ISSN 2077-0472) is an international, scholarly and scientific open access journal publishing peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, communications and short notes that reflect the breadth and interdisciplinarity of agriculture. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. The aim of Agriculture is to publish research on the science and technology of crop and animal production, biosecurity, and postharvest handling of produce, agricultural technology, management of the natural resource base for agricultural production (land, soil and water), rural management and agricultural development, and agriculture in changing environments. Accordingly, the scope of the journal for the consideration of submissions is set out in more detail below.

Verified Reviews
Overall, this time I encountered a difficult reviewer. If there were only reviewers 1 and 2, I believe it would have been a very smooth submission process. However, because of the addition of reviewer 3, who is an expert in the field, I endured ten days of struggle and anxiety. Nevertheless, I am happy. The quality of the revised article has visibly improved, and more importantly, several major issues that I had overlooked in my research became clear during the process of addressing the reviewer's comments. So I am truly grateful to this responsible junior colleague. The journal requirements are not high, but having professional reviewers is equally satisfying.
The original Chinese manuscript was originally submitted to a prestigious domestic journal. The reviewers estimated that it was reviewed by students and did not carefully review it. They provided a bunch of irrelevant review comments. Some said that my results were problematic, even though they did not look at the evaluation criteria. The editorial team rejected it based on their opinions. I was frustrated and didn't want to deal with the editorial team and these reviewers anymore. So I translated and submitted it to Agriculture. I submitted it on February 10th and received the first round of comments 18 days later, with a request to revise within 10 days. I couldn't wait for 10 days, so I revised it in 3 days. I wrote a reply to the comments, which ended up being around 10 pages long. Although it felt like writing another mini paper, I had to do it because the reviewers had some specific and challenging comments that needed serious replies. After the revision, it took another ten days for both the reviewers and the editorial team to come to a satisfactory conclusion. It was then accepted for publication. It took a few more days for proofreading and typesetting, totaling 31 days. One more day and it wouldn't have been within a month.
