Legume Research - An International Journal (LR IJ)

Legume Research – An International Journal is a peer‑reviewed scientific journal published by the Agricultural Research Communication Centre (ARCC) in India. It focuses on research related to legumes — a vital group of crops important for global food security, soil fertility, and sustainable agriculture. The journal publishes original research articles, review papers, and short communications that span a breadth of disciplines relevant to legume crops, including genetics and breeding, physiology and biochemistry, agronomy and ecology, seed science, microbiology, and crop production. Legumes such as chickpea, pigeon pea, lentil, and soybean are key research subjects because they fix nitrogen, enhance soil health, and provide protein‑rich food worldwide. The journal’s peer‑review process ensures that contributions are scientifically sound and impactful, helping researchers, breeders, agronomists, and policy planners stay updated on advances in pulse and legume research. It is indexed in major scientific databases like Scopus, BIOSIS, Biological Abstracts, and others, reflecting its recognition in agricultural and plant science communities. Legume Research has a strong editorial board with international experts, and the publication supports global collaboration on legume science and sustainable crop improvement.
