Manuscript Submission Guidelines

Big Data in Agriculture (BDA) use Editorial Manager for online submission and manuscript tracking. We’ve created a step-by-step guide to help you through the process of submitting your paper. Here is the link for submission https://zibelinejournalsubmissions.com/index.php/BDA/submissions

Preparing your files

To submit your manuscript, you need the following files:

  1. Your manuscript (including a title page with the names of all authors and co-authors)

A main document file with abstract, keywords, main text and references, which should be kept anonymous if the journal you are submitting to uses double-blind peer review

  1. Figure files
  2. Table files
  3. Any extra files such as supplemental material or biographical notes.
  4. Main document file – with all author details

A full version of your manuscript as you would like it to appear when published. You must label this file as “not for review” if you are submitting to a journal which uses double-blind peer review.

  1. Within this document, please include:
  • Article title
  • Journal name
  • Full name and details of the corresponding author
  • The full names and details of all co-authors of the paper*
  • Acknowledgements
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Main text
  • Indication of figures and tables
  • References
  • Appendices
  • Figure or table files

You can enter caption and link text before or after uploading any figures, images, and tables. Once uploaded, you can organize your files, using the thumbnail images to help. To remove a file, or edit its metadata, use the drop-down option in the Actions column.

Don’t forget, if the journal uses double-blind peer review, you must anonymize your figures and tables before you submit them.
