fcr-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript so it reads for a general agronomy/crop-science audience, follows FCR structure, and meets the format expectations (abstract <=400 words, 3-5 highlights of <=85 characters, grammatically sound English, concise results, a discussion that interprets rather than repeats). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

When to use

• Drafting introduction, results, or discussion
• Writing abstract and highlights
• Tightening verbose results or discussion
• Aligning citations and units to Elsevier/FCR style
• Final polish of FCR manuscript
• Rewriting vague sentences to quantified FCR-ready text
• Checking structure and section discipline
• Ensuring discussion interprets rather than repeats results

When not to use

• Inventing content or claims
• Whole-system modeling for Agricultural Systems
• Agronomic breadth for European Journal of Agronomy
• Cultivar or breeding emphasis for Crop Science
