Peer-review policies
Manuscripts submitted to California Agriculture undergo anonymous peer review. We forward each submission to the appropriate Associate Editor, who makes an initial determination of its scientific soundness and suitability for California Agriculture’s audience. The Associate Editor then sends the article to two qualified reviewers. If the first two reviews are affirmative, the article is accepted. If one is negative, we send the manuscript to a third reviewer. The final decision is made by the Executive Editor in consultation with the Associate Editor.
