SOIL RESEARCH
Peer review
Soil Research is a peer-reviewed journal that uses a single-blind peer-review. The Editors-in-Chief are responsible to maintain high-quality peer-review of papers submitted to the journal and work together with the Associate Editors to ensure a thorough and fair peer-review and the highest scientific publishing standards. All submissions undergo preliminary assessment by an Editor-in-Chief, who may reject a paper before peer review when it is outside the journal’s scope or is of insufficient quality. Associate Editors select reviewers and after at least two review reports are received, they make the decision whether to accept/reject or send a manuscript for revision. The final decision is made by the Associate Editor.
Under our single-blind policy, reviewers’ names are not disclosed to the authors. To increase transparency, reviewers may choose to sign their reports. We ask reviewers and authors not to directly contact each other while the manuscript is under consideration, rather keep all communication through ScholarOne with the Editor’s involvement.
Authorship
The conditions around authorship for Soil Research should follow the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), for more information see http://www.publish.csiro.au/sr/PublishingPolicies.
Licence to publish
For details regarding copyright, please see Copyright/Licence to Publish.
Open access
Authors may choose to publish their paper Open Access on payment of a publication fee. See Open Access for more details.
Journal editorial policy
The journal aims to rapidly publish high-quality, novel research about fundamental and applied aspects of soil science. As well as welcoming submissions in traditional aspects of soil biology, soil physics and soil chemistry across terrestrial ecosystems, the journal will consider manuscripts dealing with wider interactions of soils with the environment.
Submission of a paper is taken to mean that the results have not been published and are not being considered for publication elsewhere. Abstracts or posters from conferences, where the full data set is not presented and interpretation of results is not extensively developed, would not normally be regarded as publications but should be acknowledged in the submitted manuscript. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief if you are unsure.
CSIRO Publishing requires that all authors of a multi-authored paper agree to its submission. This journal will use its best endeavours to ensure that work published is that of the named authors except where acknowledged and, through its reviewing procedures, that any published results and conclusions are consistent with the primary data. It takes no responsibility for fraud or inaccuracy on the part of the contributors. Authors of multi-authored papers may wish to assign relative values to their contributions, or to indicate that two or more authors contributed equally to a paper. This can be done in a note at the end of the address field on the paper.
PDFs of published papers are now provided free of charge to corresponding authors. Reprints are still available for purchase; an order form for reprints will be supplied with the page proofs. There are no page charges. Original illustrations will be returned after publication if this is requested at the time of submission.
All paper must be within the broad scope of the Journal.
Research Papers are complete reports of original research results that have not previously been published. Papers must show novelty (what is new to our understanding of soils), make a significant contribution to knowledge and be of international interest. There are no word/page limitations for Research Papers – Soil Research encourages the reporting of full and complete studies in its Research Papers.
The paper should be divided into sections: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions. A short structured Abstract (maximum 250 words) should be provided at the start of the manuscript. This should summarise the context, aims (hypothesis(es) if appropriate), methods, results, and conclusions. The Introduction should provide a general context for the work, explaining its significance and indicating why it could be of interest to soil scientists. The final paragraph should succinctly describe the aim of the current study - how does it add to what we already know? It should clearly state the hypothesis(es) being tested or research question(s) being asked. Where the nature of the study does not allow this, a clear indication of the aim and purpose of the work should be given. The Materials and methods section should be detailed and complete allowing other scientists to repeat the work. Allowance will be given for commonly used techniques or analysis in soils, where the citation of the appropriate method is preferred, along with any deviation from the standard published technique. The Results should be presented and described in a concise, logical, clear and balanced manner, using clear graphics and tabulation to show the data in the best way to address the aim of the paper. Wherever possible robust statistical analysis should be employed to show where significant difference exists between treatments. The Discussion should address the hypothesis(es) being tested or research question(s) being asked, with due reference to other relevant studies. This section should draw out the novelty and significance of the findings in the work in the context of current knowledge. In some few (often shorter) manuscripts the nature of the study may support an integrated Results and Discussion section, where this is the most effective way to present and explain the findings. Should you choose to write a combined Results and Discussion, please explain why separate sections would undermine the overall presentation of the science in the cover letter to the editors at submission. The Conclusions should briefly restate the main findings of the study, describe how the work has advanced the field, and provide a comment on future research directions. Authors may also wish to include an (optional) Acknowledgements section at the end of their papers that recognise technical and other colleagues who may have offered assistance in the development of their work and manuscript. There is an option for submitting supplementary information that may be in form of text, tables and figures.
