agsy-submission
GitHub用于农业系统期刊投稿前的最终预检，涵盖Elsevier Editorial Manager流程。检查文章类型、摘要字数、Highlights、图形摘要、CRediT贡献声明、利益冲突及数据可用性声明等关键要素，确保符合单盲审要求及格式规范，避免提交失败。
Trigger Scenarios
准备在明天或近期通过Editorial Manager提交稿件
不确定Elsevier系统所需的特定文件元数据或格式要求
需要确认文章类型长度限制及前置信息（Front matter）是否准备齐全

Frontmatter
{
"name": "agsy-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Agricultural Systems (AgSy) via the current Elsevier submission path \/ Editorial Manager — article-type selection, abstract <= 250 words, Highlights, graphical abstract, CRediT and declaration-of-interest statements, funding\/AI disclosures, reference style, and data\/code\/model availability. Final checks; it does not draft content."

Submission Preflight (agsy-submission)
The last check before pressing submit through the current Elsevier submission path / Editorial Manager. AgSy is single anonymized, so there is no manuscript-anonymization step — but the front matter (abstract, Highlights, graphical abstract, declarations) and the data/code/model availability statement are where avoidable failures happen. Live-check volatile specifics on the official page before relying on them.
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
- Unsure which files/metadata Editorial Manager expects
- Confirming the article type's guideline length is met and all front matter is prepared
Process facts (source map refreshed 2026-06-20)
- Publisher: Elsevier (ISSN 0308-521X print / 1873-2267 online).
- Portal: current ScienceDirect Submit your article link / Editorial Manager path.
- Review model: single anonymized — no manuscript anonymization required.
- Article types: Research paper (~8,000 words), Short communication (~4,000), Perspective (~2,000, rapid review), Comment (~1,000), Review — no hard word cap, but stay near the guideline.
- Consultation: Review, Perspective, and book-review submissions should be discussed with editors first where the Guide requires it.
- Abstract: ≤ 250 words.
- Highlights: required at submission; 3-5 bullets, each max 85 characters including spaces.
- Graphical abstract: required as a separate file; check the current pixel/format specs before upload.
- Declarations: CRediT author-contribution statement; declaration of competing interest; funding sources; generative-AI disclosure when AI tools were used.
- Data/code/model: Option C repository deposit + dataset citation/link + data-availability statement, or a reason sharing is not possible.
- Fee: Open Access APC USD 3,850 excluding taxes; subscription route has no publication fee charged to authors (verified 2026-06-22; re-check the live ScienceDirect figure before submission).
Preflight checklist
Article type & length
- Article type chosen; length near its guideline (research ~8,000 / short comm ~4,000 / perspective ~2,000 / comment ~1,000)
- Abstract ≤ 250 words; states purpose, principal results, major conclusions
- Highlights drafted (3-5 bullets, max 85 characters each); graphical abstract prepared
Systems content (fit)
- The systems question (interactions / hierarchical levels / trade-offs) is explicit
- Model described, calibrated, and independently evaluated; sensitivity/uncertainty reported
- Decision / management / policy relevance stated (see
agsy-impact-and-implications)
Format & declarations
- References in the journal's style; consistent throughout
- CRediT roles + declaration of competing interest completed
- Funding and AI-use disclosures complete; corresponding author and contact details correct
- Figures/tables self-contained and accessible (see
agsy-figures-and-tables)
Data, code & compliance
- Data + code + model deposited; data-availability statement in the manuscript
(see
agsy-reproducibility-and-data-policy) - Ethics / funding / conflict declarations complete
- Original work; preprint status checked against Elsevier sharing policy
Anti-patterns
- Abstract over 250 words; missing Highlights or graphical abstract
- No CRediT / competing-interest statement; missing funding or AI-use disclosure where required
- A single-factor field trial sent to a systems journal (fit failure — see
agsy-review-process) - A black-box model with no calibration/evaluation or no data/code/model deposit
- Sending a full study to the Perspective track (wrong type and length)
Worked micro-example (illustrative)
A crop–livestock simulation study with scenario analysis is readied for upload; the preflight catches three avoidable failures:
- Abstract = 268 words → over the 250 cap. Trimmed to 242 by cutting two methods sentences and one caveat, keeping purpose, principal result, and the trade-off conclusion.
- No graphical abstract → a conceptual crop–livestock system diagram is prepared, satisfying the requirement and doubling as the framing exhibit.
- Model deposited, run scripts not → Elsevier counts code and models as research data, so run
scripts and parameter files are added to the deposit and the data-availability statement links the
DOI, pre-empting a late reproducibility hold (see
agsy-review-process).
Result: a clean upload rather than three Editorial Manager bounce-backs.
Desk-reject patterns this preflight catches
- Fit failure. A single-factor field trial with no interactions, model, or trade-off reads as an
agronomy paper at a systems journal — reframe via
agsy-topic-selectionor re-route. - Black-box model. No version, calibration, evaluation, or deposit → the model cannot be assessed.
- Wrong track. A full study compressed into Perspective length, or a Perspective padded into a research paper — type/length mismatch is an early screen.
- Incomplete front matter. Missing Highlights, graphical abstract, CRediT, COI, funding, or AI-use disclosure stalls the submission before review starts.
Calibration anchors
- The ≤250-word abstract, 3-5 Highlights, graphical abstract, CRediT roles, competing-interest declaration, funding disclosure, AI-use disclosure, and Option C data statement are the current pre-submission checks.
- Re-open the ScienceDirect Submit your article link and Guide for Authors before upload because URLs, fees, and file specs can change.
