Author Guidelines
JTEP publishes all aspects in the original research of agricultural engineering. All submissions are reviewed by one of the editor and at least two reviewers. The JTEP uses anonymous reviewing, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential (“blind reviewer”).
Type of Papers
Original papers (regular papers) should report the results of original research. Submission of a manuscript to this Journal represents a certification on the part of the author(s) that it is an original work, and that neither this manuscript nor a version of it has been published elsewhere no is being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.

Manuscripts should be prepared with numbered lines and written in 12 point Time New Roman font double space in A4 paper. Margin on all four sides are 2 cm throughout, i.e. also for abstracts, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. Figures and tables are grouped and put at the end of the manuscript (after the References). The article should be typed in paper length of 15-20 pages, approximately 5000 words. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the ‘spellchecker’ function of your wordprocessor.

Manuscripts are written by using standard citation application (Mendeley/Endnote/Zotero). APA (American Psychological Association) reference style is required.
