INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
The objective of Acta Agronomica Óváriensis is to publish scientific contributions in any field of agricultural and food sciences. These may be research papers on new results of scientific investigations (up to 16 pages including all illustrations), critical review articles summarizing the current state of art of a certain topic (up to 16 pages), or short contributions dealing with a particular question (2 to 4 pages).The papers must be in English. (preferably American) or in Hungarian. In the case when English is not the authors` first language, the manuscript should be given to a native speaker of English for editing and proofreading (before submission). The authors bear the sole responsibility for the content of their contributions. The Editorial Board assumes that by submitting their manuscripts the authors have not violated any internal rules or regulations of their institutions related to the content of the contributions and that they have not submitted the manuscript anywhere else. The acceptance of the paper obliges the authors not to publish the same material elsewhere. Authors are requested to send 2 hard copies and electronic files of their manuscripts to
Editorial Board of Acta Agronomica Óváriensis 9201 Mosonmagyaróvár Vár 2.
E-mail: varzol@mtk.nyme.hu Manuscripts will be reviewed by two independent referees who remain unidentified for the authors. The Editor-in-chief will inform the authors whether or not the manuscript is acceptable for publication, and what modifications, if any, are necessary. Please, follow the order given below when typing manuscripts. Only the manuscripts that conform to the following instructions will be considered. For clearness the manuscript should be divided into the following sections: Title, Summary (with 3 to 6 keywords), Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and discussion, Conclusions, Abstract in Hungarian (if the paper is submitted in English) or in English (if the paper is submitted in Hungarian) with keywords and address of the author(s), Acknowledgments (if necessary), References, Address of the authors. Figures and tables should be printed on separate sheets with their numbers and headlines at the top as well as legends below (when necessary). Their position should be marked in the text. XLS, JPG, TIF, GIF or BMP formats should be used for electronic submission. If a manuscript is submitted in Hungarian, all notices and legends should be translated in the following way: 1. táblázat.
