# Field Crops Research (field-crops-research)

## Journal positioning

Field Crops Research, published by Elsevier, is an agronomy and crop-physiology journal
centred on **field-scale crop performance**: yield and its determinants, resource-use
efficiency (water, nitrogen, radiation), cropping systems, crop modeling, and management
across environments. Its defining expectation is **rigorous, adequately replicated field
experimentation that generalizes across environments** — multi-site and/or multi-season
evidence, or modeling validated against field data. A single site-year, unreplicated trial,
or a pot/glasshouse study generalized to the field without field validation is a poor fit.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the
journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Field Crops
Research author guidance.
