Editorial NoteDetail information..Dear Authors, Reviewers, Readers, and Esteemed Partners,
The Editorial Board of the Agricultural Biosystem Engineering (ABE) Journal would like to inform our readers that the June 2026 issue has been republished due to an unexpected cybersecurity incident affecting our journal management system. The attack compromised the journal website and resulted in the loss of part of the publication data, including the files and metadata associated with the June 2026 issue.
Although extensive recovery efforts were undertaken, not all publication data could be fully restored. To preserve the integrity, accessibility, and continuity of the scholarly record, the Editorial Board has republished this issue using the recovered and verified final versions of all accepted articles.
As a consequence of this republication process, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) assigned to each article in the June 2026 issue has changed. Authors, readers, librarians, indexing services, and other stakeholders are kindly requested to use the new DOI when citing or referring to articles published in this issue.
We would like to emphasize that this republication does not affect the scientific content, peer-review process, editorial decisions, or publication status of any article. The articles remain identical to the originally accepted and published versions; only the publication metadata, including the DOI, has been updated to ensure permanent accessibility and accurate indexing.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused to our authors, reviewers, readers, indexing partners, and the wider academic community. This incident has prompted us to strengthen our cybersecurity measures, improve our data backup and recovery procedures, and implement additional safeguards to minimize the risk of similar events in the future.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued trust in the Agricultural Biosystem Engineering (ABE) Journal. Your support is invaluable as we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of scholarly publishing and scientific integrity.
Editorial Board
