The Journal of Agricultural Education & Extension: Competence for Rural Innovation and Transformation is an international journal dedicated to inform researchers, policy makers and practitioners of agricultural education and extension about research conducted in this field. The Journal focuses on contributions to theory and improvements in policies, strategies, methods and practices for agricultural education and extension. The Journal accepts authoritative and well-referenced scientific articles within the field of agricultural education and extension, following a double-anonymized peer review process. The field of agricultural education and extension is dynamic and continuously evolves in the context of multiple challenges and new perspectives. To respond to these changes, the journal embraces multi-disciplinary and systemic perspectives, publishing original research and novel evidence on issues related to learning, communication, innovation, change, and competence development related to agricultural education and extension. The journal accepts papers related to advisory and extension practices, policies and systems, intermediaries in agricultural innovation, multi-stakeholder processes, agricultural innovation systems and education related to extension, and emerging innovation in these topics. In the area of agricultural education, the JAEE accepts papers that focus on the education and training of farmers, farm workers, future farmers, agricultural advisors and extension staff, agricultural professionals and change agents. Importantly, in the case of agricultural education studies, agriculture should be the focus and not only the context for the study. For instance, a study on pedagogical strategies used in a faculty of agricultural sciences is not specific enough if it does not pay particular attention to the specificities of teaching topics related to agriculture. All submissions are required to make significant contributions to theory in the context of agricultural education and extension; use state-of-the art methods; contribute to global literature and have both practical and policy implications that go beyond one country or case study and demonstrate relevance to the wider agricultural extension and education community. Studies which focus on agricultural technology adoption or on the evaluation of education and training programs with no strong connection or implications to extension theory are therefore outside the scope of the journal.
