Current Issue
As part of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the UANL School of Agronomy, we are proud to present the Journal of Agri-Food Sciences and Biotechnology (RCAB) as part of our commitment to academic excellence and innovation. RCAB goes beyond an academic publication; it represents the firm commitment of our Faculty to interdisciplinary research and the dissemination of scientific knowledge to the general public, covering different topics, from sustainable agricultural production to the latest advances in food biotechnology. Thus, its commitment to editorial excellence makes it an ideal platform for disseminating original research, critical reviews, and relevant case studies in the agri-food field and topics of scientific interest. In this context, we invite you to explore the pages of this journal, which reflect not only the effort and dedication of our researchers but also the vitality and relevance of research in agri-food sciences and biotechnology at national and international levels.
Article
Journal presentation
The Journal of Ciencias Agroalimentarias y Biotecnología (RCAB for its Spanish acronym) is a multidisciplinary journal published quarterly by the Faculty of Agronomy of the UANL, dedicated to the dissemination of science, technology and knowledge in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, biosystems or biotechnological sciences and the food industry.
Objective and scope
The RCAB is a journal with the aim of disseminating agricultural, zootechnical, biological and biotechnological studies and the food industry in a clear, educational and accessible language, aimed at the general public, especially high school and university students. The articles should be limited to the development of a topic, without pretending to cover exhaustively all general knowledge in the field. The topics should be approached in a way that could be of interest to young people, with popular treatment rather than a school text.
All entries will be evaluated by specialists in the field. The journal is published four editions per year in digital format through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.
