The Journal of Applied Aquaculture is a platform for sharing practical information that is essential for researchers to meet the needs of investors, farm managers, extension agents and policy makers working to adapt aquaculture theory to achieve economic and food security objectives throughout the world. The journal emphasizes multi-disciplinary research and case studies that propose financially and logistically viable solutions to observable problems.
To make it more accessible to farmers and non-specialists in addition to professional aquaculture researchers, authors publishing in the Journal of Applied Aquaculture are requested to avoid basic research that has only downstream or marginal applicability to actual farming systems. Technical jargon should be kept to a minimum. Tables and figures that facilitate comprehension are encouraged. An economic and feasibility analysis should accompany any proposed technological innovation. Both original research and reviews will be considered.
Suitable topics include, but are by no means limited to:
Practical diet formulation and food conversion efficiencies;
Feed manufacturing, on-farm and industrial;
Techniques to minimize stress, low-tech transport;
Case studies from development projects, small and large-scale;
Cost/benefit analysis of aquaculture in light of environmental conflicts;
Techniques for the management of genetic quality in broodstock;
Review of aquaculture policy, successes and failures;
Market analyses and competition in regional and international trade;
Quarantine procedures and prophylaxis;
On-farm trials;
New materials and construction techniques;
Use of probiotics in health and water quality management.
Manuscripts must be submitted online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Submitted manuscripts are subject to a first screening by the Editors of the Journal of Applied Aquaculture, whereupon manuscripts found suitable for further consideration enter the peer-review process. Manuscripts are double anonymzied peer-reviewed, which means that the authors do not know the identity of the Associate Editors and reviewers who handle their specific manuscripts.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
