Philippine Journal of Coconut Studies (PJCS) [*open for subscription]
Issued twice a year, the PJCS publishes original and review papers on all
aspects of agricultural and industrial researches on coconut. Since its initial
publication in 1976, the journal has helped in the development of scientific
knowledge relevant to the needs of the coconut industry, served as a link
and a forum of discussion among various parties interested in the research
aspects of the industry, provided technical and non-technical information
to farmers for adoption in their own farms, and served as a reference and
educational material.
The PJCS is circulated internationally to researchers and scientists, public
and private institutions interested in coconut research developments, academic
groups, policymakers and administrators, entrepreneurs, financiers, and other
institutions.
