Such notes require no headed sections. Critical research review articles, showing lacunae in research and suggesting possible lines of future work. These are mostly invited from eminent scientists. The research article or note submitted for publication should have a direct bearing on wheat/ barley research or open up new grounds for productive research. Basic type of articles and notes relating to investigation in a narrow specialized branch of wheat may also form an appropriate material for this journal. Peer Review Process An expert in the specific area mandatorily reviews the articles received for publication. The major guidelines for suitability or otherwise of the article are provided to each reviewer. In case of disagreement, the opinion of second reviewer is sought to judge the merit of article.
