Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture (MJA) is a national, open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly publication that promotes scientific agricultural research and is intended for researchers and students in Agricultural Sciences. MJA was first issued in 1966 and published as a single annual issue; in 2000, it was adopted as a national journal; in 2005, it began publishing four issues per year (quarterly). The University of Mosul, the publisher of MJA (Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture), publishes it on behalf of the College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Mosul (institutional society). MJA has adopted a unique DOI number [10.33899/magrj] for each article published since 2005.

The MJA uses a double-blind peer-reviewing system to ensure the quality of the publication. All manuscripts should be submitted through our online manuscript management system. The author should first register in our system and then submit their manuscript. We will use iThenticate to check for plagiarism before sending it to reviewers, and the plagiarism rate should be under 20%. We will notify corresponding authors about their manuscripts through our online system within one to two months.

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture publishes original research papers, review papers, and case reports. It is an open-access Journal dedicated to bringing together scientists, professionals, and the public sector engaged in efforts to understand the Agricultural and veterinary fields.

MJA publishes open-access articles, which means all articles are available online to all users immediately upon publication.

As an open-access journal, publishing an article in this journal requires an Article Processing Charge (APC) that will be billed to the submitting author following acceptance. There are no other fees (for example, submission, page, or color charges). The Article Processing Charge for the journal is 100 US$ for international authors and 150.000 ID for Iraqi authors inside Iraq. 

The MJA stopped reviewing and publishing articles from 2014 (after volume 42, issue 1, year 2014) to 2017 (reactivated from volume 45, issue 2, year 2018) during the three years ISIS occupied Mosul city following the military liberation operation conducted by Iraqi forces. The MJA has started receiving and publishing articles since 2018.

Previously, the journal published articles in Arabic and English, but in 2019, it switched to English-only, with Arabic abstracts.
