KANGGIHI: Jurnal Pertanian is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the forefront of agricultural sciences, sustainable farming, and rural economic development. Positioned as a premier multidisciplinary scholarly forum, the journal serves agronomists, agricultural engineers, agro-economists, environmental scientists, and policymakers worldwide. KANGGIHI prioritizes rigorous empirical field research, advanced biotechnological studies, and innovative agribusiness frameworks that address the complex challenges of modern food production, climate resilience, and global food security. By bridging fundamental agricultural theories with contemporary, tech-driven, and ecologically sustainable farming practices, the journal fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of how to optimize crop yields, preserve environmental integrity, and elevate the socio-economic welfare of farming communities.

Scope and Topics

The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical literature reviews, and empirical field studies that offer significant contributions to the following thematic areas:

  • Agronomy & Crop Science: Plant breeding and genetics, crop physiology, seed technology, and the optimization of crop yield and quality under diverse environmental conditions.

  • Soil Science & Agroecology: Soil fertility and plant nutrition, soil microbiology, conservation agriculture, organic farming systems, and climate change adaptation strategies.

  • Plant Protection & Pathology: Integrated Pest Management (IPM), entomology, weed science, phytopathology, and the development of eco-friendly biopesticides.

  • Agribusiness & Agricultural Economics: Supply chain management, farm enterprise modeling, agricultural marketing, rural sociology, and the socio-economic empowerment of local farmers.

  • Agricultural Engineering & Smart Technology: Precision agriculture, the Internet of Things (IoT) in farming, drone-assisted monitoring, modern irrigation systems, and post-harvest technology.

  • Forestry & Environmental Management: Agroforestry systems, biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes, and the sustainable management of natural resources.

Publication Frequency

To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of critical agricultural research, KANGGIHI is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on urgent global food crises, disruptive agricultural technologies (e.g., AI in smart farming), or breakthrough climate adaptation strategies may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process

KANGGIHI enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, scientific validity, and empirical objectivity.

  • Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Subject Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundness (quantitative, qualitative, or experimental design), and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.

  • Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established academic experts or senior practitioners in the specific domain of agricultural sciences.

  • Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the intellectual merit, scientific rigor, and practical applicability of the work to the agricultural sector.

Mission Statement

The mission of KANGGIHI is to deconstruct systemic barriers in food production and catalyze transformative, sustainable agricultural practices within a rapidly changing global climate. Grounded in the philosophy that robust food security, ecological balance, and equitable rural economies are the absolute anchors for human survival and global prosperity, the journal aims to democratize advanced agricultural knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for global scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and rigorous methodological approaches—encompassing laboratory experiments, longitudinal field trials, and socio-economic market analyses—KANGGIHI seeks to empower agronomists, inspire agricultural innovators, and shape future-proof, evidence-based agricultural policies worldwide.
