NJAS-WAGENINGEN JOURNAL OF LIFE SCIENCES SCISCIE

中文简介

《瓦赫宁根生命科学杂志》自1952年出版以来，是荷兰皇家农业科学学会的季刊。NJAS致力于成为农业生产、粮食和营养安全以及自然资源管理等复杂而持久问题的跨学科和跨学科研究的主要科学平台。这些领域的社会和技术挑战要求研究将科学学科结合起来，并找到方法和概念框架的新组合。此外，这些问题和挑战的综合性质适合跨学科研究方法，这些方法嵌入与政策和实践的建设性互动中，并跨越科学和社会之间的边界。参与社会辩论并创造决策空间是研究新型农业食品技术或政策的各种影响的一项重要任务。国际粮食和营养安全的性质(如全球价值链、标准化、贸易),环境问题(如气候变化或竞相宣称在自然资源),和农业相关风险(如植物和动物疾病的传播)挑战研究者不仅关注低水平的聚合,但肯定使用跨学科研究来解开尺度之间的联系或在较高的聚合动力学分析。NJAS认识到，在农业、食品和环境领域，跨学科和跨学科研究的需求得到了广泛承认，政策制定者和实践者也越来越多地表达了这一需求，需要一个平台，让创造性的研究人员和创新思维发挥作用。该杂志旨在为深入、批判性和开放性的讨论提供空间，促进跨学科和跨学科研究方法在农业和生命科学中的发展和应用。此外，NJAS旨在就研究和知识在原型、设计、测试和分析使农业、粮食和营养安全在农学、环境、政治、社会和经济意义上可持续所需的不同干预和管理战略方面的作用展开讨论。NJAS特别鼓励(年轻的)科学家团队开发面向问题的特殊问题，这表明了跨越学科边界并将科学探究与更广泛的社会团体联系起来的价值。

英文简介

Wageningen Journal of Life Sciences, published since 1952, is the quarterly journal of the Royal Netherlands Society for Agricultural Sciences. NJAS aspires to be the main scientific platform for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research on complex and persistent problems in agricultural production, food and nutrition security and natural resource management. The societal and technical challenges in these domains require research integrating scientific disciplines and finding novel combinations of methodologies and conceptual frameworks. Moreover, the composite nature of these problems and challenges fits transdisciplinary research approaches embedded in constructive interactions with policy and practice and crossing the boundaries between science and society. Engaging with societal debate and creating decision space is an important task of research about the diverse impacts of novel agri-food technologies or policies. The international nature of food and nutrition security (e.g. global value chains, standardisation, trade), environmental problems (e.g. climate change or competing claims on natural resources), and risks related to agriculture (e.g. the spread of plant and animal diseases) challenges researchers to focus not only on lower levels of aggregation, but certainly to use interdisciplinary research to unravel linkages between scales or to analyse dynamics at higher levels of aggregation.NJAS recognises that the widely acknowledged need for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, also increasingly expressed by policy makers and practitioners, needs a platform for creative researchers and out-of-the-box thinking in the domains of agriculture, food and environment. The journal aims to offer space for grounded, critical, and open discussions that advance the development and application of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research methodologies in the agricultural and life sciences. Moreover, NJAS aims to open discussions on the role of research and knowledge in the prototyping, designing, testing and analysing of different intervention and management strategies needed to make agriculture, food and nutrition security sustainable in an agronomic, environmental, political, social and economic sense.NJAS especially encourages teams of (young) scientists to develop problem-oriented special issues, which demonstrate the value of crossing disciplinary boundaries and linking scientific inquiry to groups in the wider society.
