NJAS Impact in Agricultural and Life Sciences

期刊简介：The provision of healthy food in dynamic market environments, the viability of agricultural production systems affected by risk and shocks, or natural resource management under uncertain conditions, represent some of the multi-dimensional challenges central to NJAS: Impact in Agricultural and Life Sciences . This journal offers a platform for multi-disciplinary and impact-driven research that addresses these agricultural and societal challenges. As a journal fostering integrative research, NJAS recognises that this requires opportunities to jointly travel uncharted terrains, to synthesise empirical research and to accept the uncertainties of working across boundaries within the natural and social sciences and between science and society. We encourage papers that demonstrate the value of versatile research in topical domains, evaluate the methodological choices enabling integrative research, show the workings of creatively combined methods, or discuss innovative conceptualisations conducive to integrating multiple dimensions of major societal challenges. The journal aims to do so through the publication of: research papers with a clear empirical, methodological, or conceptual contribution to the field of integrative studies in agricultural and life sciences; special issues focusing on a complex problem in life science through a combination of disciplinary and/or multi-disciplinary papers with a strong editorial to place the papers in a broader societal and scientific context; review papers that provide a multi-perspective view on a current issue in agricultural and life sciences, and; synthesis papers building on a set of research papers (e.g. from a PhD thesis) where the synthesis has an added value by providing a multi-dimensional view on a complex problem in agricultural and life sciences. The journal also aims to build communities of scholars around special issues. We welcome proposals for special issues that collect papers, which, individually or collectively, display how to do collaborative research and address major agricultural and societal challenges. The journal also pro-actively encourages young scholars (including PhD candidates) to propose and organise special issues and offers organisational and editorial support for realising these. Please note that NJAS converted to full Open Access from Volume 93 (2021). Archive content from Volume 48 onward have been made free to access.

【译文】在动态市场环境中提供健康食品、受风险和冲击影响的农业生产系统的生存能力、或不确定条件下的自然资源管理，代表了 NJAS 核心的一些多维挑战：对农业和生命科学的影响。该期刊为解决这些农业和社会挑战的多学科和影响驱动的研究提供了一个平台。作为一本促进综合研究的期刊，NJAS 认识到这需要有机会共同探索未知领域、综合实证研究并接受跨自然科学和社会科学以及科学与社会之间界限工作的不确定性。我们鼓励论文展示主题领域的多功能研究的价值，评估支持综合研究的方法选择，展示创造性组合方法的运作，或讨论有利于整合主要社会挑战的多个维度的创新概念。该杂志的目标是通过出版以下内容来实现这一目标： 对农业和生命科学综合研究领域有明确的实证、方法或概念贡献的研究论文；通过将学科和/或多学科论文与强有力的社论相结合，关注生命科学中复杂问题的特刊，将论文置于更广泛的社会和科学背景下；对农业和生命科学当前问题提供多视角观点的评论论文；综合论文建立在一组研究论文（例如来自博士论文）的基础上，其中综合通过提供农业和生命科学中复杂问题的多维观点而具有附加值。该期刊还旨在围绕特殊问题建立学者社区。我们欢迎收集论文的特刊提案，这些论文单独或集体展示如何进行合作研究并解决主要的农业和社会挑战。该刊还积极鼓励青年学者（包括博士生）提出和组织特刊，并为实现这些特刊提供组织和编辑支持。请注意，NJAS 从第 93 卷（2021 年）转换为完全开放获取。从第 48 卷开始的档案内容已可供免费访问。
