as a supplementary file to every manuscript submitted to Ciência
Rural. The conformity informed by the authors will be verified
in the initial revision of the manuscripts and later by the
editors and reviewers. We inform the authors that the articles
published in volume 52 (1) will contain the identification
of the chief editor and associate editor responsible by manuscript
evaluation process in the CR, as guided by the practices of
Open Science.
PREPRINT

Rural (CR) recommends all authors to post preprints to accelerate
the circulation of data of papers before peer review process.
If a research with a preprint is accepted for publication
in CR, the preprint and published manuscript will link to
each other at the publication online. All authors should link
their ORCID to the preprint and also to the manuscript.
CR also recommends
editors to consider available comments and information on
the preprint to support the editorial process and, when relevant,
editors may incorporate the information at editorial decision
to authors.
CR fully supports
the deposit of preprint such as BioRXiv,
AgriRxiv
