# Society & Regional Agriculture Journals — Author Guideline Skill **Verified:** 2026-07 · These are the **Q1/Q2 agriculture journals whose publisher format is not shared with any other skill in this suite** (see `journals/_coverage_agriculture.md`). They come from societies, academies, and university presses, so requirements vary — **always confirm at the journal's own author guide** (linked below). Agriculture journals from Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, Taylor & Francis, MDPI, Cambridge, Oxford, Emerald, Frontiers, BMC, KeAi, ACS, and Annual Reviews use the existing publisher-tier skills instead — no duplicates. ## Applies to (representative Q1/Q2 titles) | Journal | Abbrev | Publisher | Ref style* | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | SOIL | SOIL | Copernicus (EGU) | author–date | https://www.soil-journal.net/submission.html | | Plant, Soil and Environment | PLANT SOIL ENVIRON | Czech Acad.
