The Applied Research & Agrotechnology has quarterly basis periodicy and is linked to the Center for Agricultural Technology (NATA-PR) and the Department of Agronomy at the Universidade do Centro Oeste do Paraná - UNICENTRO.
The policy considers on the first moment that the article must meet the requirements of the journal regarding the maximum number of authors, formatting of text and graphical elements and presentation of bibliography. If verified discontinuities the article returns to the author for correction prior. Met the basic requirements, the article will be sent for review of a pair of ad hoc reviewers of expertise in the area of knowledge related to the research topic, and may be approved or be directly suggested fixes. The editor will make the decision based on the opinion of the reviewers. In case of discrepancies between the evaluators, a new opinion may be requested in order to obtain a better judgment. for publication process.The approved articles will be translated in full into English and abstract in Spanish, or as needed, according to the language of the original text. The journal provides a review of basic writing in Portuguese, but the quality of the writing and grammar are the responsibility of the author. The order for publication of articles considers the timing of approvals and also the distribution of themes in the areas of publishing.

The scope of the journa is constituted of publications in the lines of Precision Agriculture, Mechanization and Agricultural Machinery, Storage of Agricultural Products and post harvest, Agricultural Aviation, Agricultural Climatology and Meteorology, Energy and Rural Construction, Soil Physics, Geoprocessing and topography, Water Resources, Systems in Hydraulics and Irrigation, Technology OF Agricultural and Forestry Production.
Peer Review Process
The articles are reviewed by two evaluators with relevant knowledge in the research area, being judged principally the scientific merits inherent to the relevance of the contribution, methodology used, quality of results, clear and objective writing, adequacy and quality of cited references, authenticity of information, copyright (anti-plagiarism ). The editor will make the decision based on the opinion of the reviewers. In case of discrepancies between the evaluators, a new opinion may be requested in order to obtain a better judgment.
