ISSN / eISSN

Aims and Scope
This ISTRO-affiliated journal examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:
The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.

Until now, there hasn't been any change in the date. During this time, I have been in contact with the Chinese team at Elsevier, and their response has been that there are no reviewers currently reviewing the manuscript, and no reviewers have been invited. This means that the article has been put on hold. Because I didn't know who the responsible editor was, on 10.20, I tried submitting a reminder letter through the system, but did not receive a valid response. On 12.1, I wrote again, and finally, the foreign team at Elsevier helped me contact the editor-in-chief, who then contacted the responsible editor. I was overjoyed!

2022.5.30 invitation for 1st revision, major revision
2022.9.6 submit
2022.9.8 minor revision (Figures and Tables are requested to be placed in the text of the manuscript)
2022.9.11 submit
2022.9.20 under review
2023.1.6 invitation for 2nd revision, minor revision
2023.2.4 submit
2023.4.18 accept
Submission to acceptance took a total of 13 months. The first reviewer was very thorough, and the second revision was based on the manuscript version of O.B. Wendroth, full of details and meticulousness. Wishing him a long and healthy life.
