Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research (SJAR) is an open access scientific journal published by CSIC and edited by the Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria. SJAR publishes papers reporting research findings on the following topics: agricultural economics; agricultural engineering; agricultural environment and ecology; animal breeding, genetics and reproduction; animal health and welfare; animal production; plant breeding, genetics and genetic resources; plant physiology; plant production (field and horticultural crops); plant protection; soil science; and water management. SJAR is not publishing articles on “food science and technology”, “postharvest”, or “socioeconomic studies”.

Formerly known as “Investigación Agraria”, SJAR merged in 2003 from two series: “Producción y Protección Vegetales” and “Producción y Sanidad Animales” founded in 1985. The predecessor of them was “Anales del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agronómicas”, first published in 1952. SJAR began to be available online in 2003, in PDF format, maintaining printed edition until 2015. That year it became an electronic-only journal with no print equivalent publishing in PDF, HTML and XML-JATS formats.

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research is indexed in Web of Science, SCOPUS, DOAJ and other national and international databases.
