Damietta Journal of Agricultural Sciences adopts the open access journal system that supports the principle of extended access. Which enables providing open access to the journal's contents to its readers, which may be a very important option.

Editing process (As shown in the diagram)

The Open Journal System moves submissions to the journal through a five-step editorial process, which can be managed by one or more editors.

1. New Assignment track: This is where things start as paragraphs are assigned to one or more editors.
2. Submissions are peer reviewed and the editor makes a decision.
3. Submission Editing: Submissions go through the following stages: editing, layout, and proofreading. They are then queued for publication in an upcoming issue of the journal.
4. Table of Contents: Paragraphs are arranged for publication within the issue's table of contents.

Editorial roles

(Assigned to the Journal management)

• Editor-in-Chief: Defines the roles of the editorial staff (may also serve as editor or in another role).
• Editor: Supervises the editing process; may assign section editors to edit and referee submissions; takes on the responsibility of scheduling paragraphs ready for publication in the journal’s issues.
• Section Editor: Supervises and sometimes edits submissions.
• Proofreader: Works on submissions to improve the linguistic and grammatical quality of the text, asks the author questions about potential errors, and ensures adherence to the journal’s standards and formats.
• Layout Designer: Converts peer-reviewed manuscripts into journal-approved publishing formats (HTML, PDF and/or PS) for electronic publishing.
• Proofreader: Reviews galleys for spelling and formatting errors.

The publishing steps can be summarized as follows:

1- Submission process

• The journal allows authors to submit their submissions directly to the journal’s website. Depending on the options you have selected and which are set by the journal’s editor (step 4.1 of the configuration), authors will be able to register on the site as an author, as well as as a reviewers (to be used to review other submissions) and/or a reader (to receive notifications when new issues of the journal are published, including the issue’s table of contents); the author is taken directly to the user’s home page, which displays their various roles within the journal (i.e., author, reviewer, etc.). Clicking on the author’s role takes the user to their submissions page, where they are presented with a list of their current and previously published publications in the journal. The submission process itself is divided into five steps, with guidance provided for each step. The author does not have to complete all five steps in one go, but can instead return to what is known in the submission table as “incomplete submissions.”
• Author's guidelines (sent as a separate attachment)
• The journal provides a set of guidelines for the author in (The Journal) which cover the writing standards, formatting and styles followed in the journal. For concepts that lack examples in the guidelines texts, the author can review samples of published works in the journal to see how different matters of details, supplements and appendices are addressed.

2-Editing process

• The editing process for a submission to a journal typically involves peer review, usually confidential peer review, followed by a decision by the section editor to accept or reject the submission for publication. If accepted during the peer review stage of the editing process, the submission goes into editing, which includes proofreading, layout design, and proofreading. The submission is then scheduled for publication in a future issue of the journal. Depending on how the journal is organized, the editing process may be done by a single editor or by a team of editors, section editors, layout designers, etc.

3-Publishing process

• The editor supervises the publishing process by creating the journal issues and/or volumes, scheduling requests for publication in those issues, organizing their tables of contents, and finally, releasing those issues for publication. Damietta Journal of Agricultural Sciences relies on collecting several requests for publication in one issue, which is issued every three months (twice a year).
• The term issue or publication represents the method of publication followed by the journal, although a single issue includes a table of contents that can be identified by (a) issue, volume, year; (b) volume, year; (c) year; or (d) title. How issues are identified can be customized through the journal's formatting process carried out by its editor-in-chief.
