Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts submitted to Journal of Medicinal Food may not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be acknowledged.
Full Communications should be presented in the standard format described below.
Short Communications are intended for the presentation of brief observations that do not warrant a full-length text, but also are not preliminary results. Include an abstract; do not use section headings in the body of the text; report methods, results, and discussion in a single section. Citations are identical in style to those of full-length articles, but appropriately abbreviated in number.
Technical Notes are brief scientific observations and methods (preparative, analytical, etc.).
Letters to the Editor can be on any issue relevant to the field. They must be brief (one or two journal pages) and appropriately documented by data. Letters may be addressed to the Editor-in Chief or Associate Editors, and may be subject to review.
Reviews and Perspectives may be solicited by the Editors or submitted independently. Reviews are summaries of developments in medicinal food and nutrition. Perspectives are more representative of an opinion about an area of the field or a direction of research. Both may be subject to peer-review.
Conference Proceedings: Authors wishing to submit conference/workshop summaries should contact the editorial office well in advance of the event to discuss publication potential and obtain guidance on preparation.
Manuscript Submission and Copyright Agreement Form
The Copyright Agreement form (available from web site at http://www.liebertpub.com/media/content/transfer_of_copyright.pdf.) should be submitted once your article has been accepted for publication. Manuscripts cannot be published without this form. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining signatures of coauthors. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form signed under the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright. Upon acceptance of your article, please fax the Copyright Agreement form to 914-740-2108.
IMPORTANT:
Please do NOT upload a single PDF file containing all text, figure, and table files. Upload individual files of all manuscript material. Once all individual files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you and the peer-review process.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
Prepare the entire manuscript, including figure legends, in Microsoft Word. The manuscript should be double spaced (6mm minimum), with ample margins (minimum 1”) on all sides.
The title page should include the authors’ names and affiliations, a running title of about 45 characters (including spaces), and the full contact information for the corresponding author (i.e., mailing and/or street address, telephone and fax numbers, and E-mail address.) The second page must consist of an abstract of not more than 250 words, which should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Full communications are structured using the following headings: abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, and references. Number pages consecutively. At the end of the manuscript, give the name, mailing address, and E-mail of the individual to whom correspondence should be directed.
The authors may suggest suitable referees during the submission process, but must provide accurate E-mail addresses for all such individuals.
Key Words. Three to 10 key words or phrases must be provided after the abstract to facilitate computer searches. Key words should not repeat words or phrases used in the title. They should be listed alphabetically.
Acknowledgments. Collaborations, sources of research funds, and other acknowledgments should be listed in a separate section at the end of the text ahead of the REFERENCES section.
Disclosure Statement. Immediately following the Acknowledgments section, include a section entitled “Author Disclosure Statement.” In this portion of the manuscript, authors must disclose any commercial associations that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts. This statement should include appropriate information for EACH author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the Journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will remain confidential while the manuscript is being reviewed and will not influence the editorial decision. Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at www.icmje.org/index.htlm#conflicts for further guidance. If no conflicts exist, the authors must state “No competing financial interests exist."
References. Cite all references within the text by a superscript Arabic number. Number references in the order that they appear in the text. Double-space the references and triple-space between each listing. When there are more than six authors, it is acceptable to list the first three followed by “et al.”, but this must be applied consistently throughout the reference section. Use the following styles as appropriate:
Journals: (1) surname of author(s), initials, (2) article title, (3) journal, (4) year of publication, (5) volume number, and (6) first and last page of citation.
Journal Example:
Lappé MA, Bailey EB, Childress C, Setchell KDR: Alterations in clinically important phytoestrogens in genetically modified, herbicide-tolerant soybeans. J Med Food 1999;1:241–245.

URL (Web Page) Example:
Hsu, D: Chemicool Periodic Table. www.chemicool.com (accessed Jan 1999).
Unpublished References:
When data from an unpublished source are presented, supply complete information, e.g., researcher’s name and location. If work is in press, give the journal in which it is to be published or the publisher. Include “In press” in place of publication date.
Tables. Type each table with its title in a separate file. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Each table must stand alone (i.e., contain all necessary information in the caption) and the table itself must be understood independently of the text. Details of experimental conditions should be included in the table footnotes. Table legends and footnotes should be double-spaced. Information that appears in the text should not be repeated in tables, and tables should not contain data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
Illustrations. Prepare a separate list of figure legends, double-spaced, at the end of the manuscript. Magnifications should be included when appropriate.
Please follow these guidelines for submitting figures:
• Do NOT embed art files into a Word or PDF document.
• Line illustrations should be submitted at 1200 dpi.
• Halftones and color should be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi.
• Save as either TIFF or EPS files.
• Color art must be saved as CYMK—not RGB.
• Black and White art must be submitted as grayscale—not RGB.
• Do NOT submit PowerPoint, PDF, Bitmap, or Excel files.
Please name your artwork files with the submitting authors name i.e. SmithFig1.tif, SmithTable2.tif etc. Authors who do not follow these guidelines may have their submission returned to them without being reviewed.
In order to expedite your submission as quickly and efficiently as possible we ask that all artwork be checked using Digital Expert before submitting. This is a free tool that will ensure that you prepare and submit quality digital materials suitable for print.
Go to http://dx.sheridan.com to check your image files.
You will be given directions on how to correct any files which do not pass.
Converting Word or Excel files: Perhaps the best and easiest way to convert Word or Excel files into a format which is suitable for print is to scan them using the below guidelines:
- All files should be scanned at 100% size.
- 300 dpi
- Final color mode: cmyk
- save file as: .tif or .eps

Permissions
The author must obtain permission to reproduce figures, tables, and text from previously published material. Written permission must be obtained from the original copyright holder (generally the publisher, not the author or editor) of the journal or book concerned. An appropriate credit line should be included in the figure legend or table footnote, and full publication information should be included in the reference list. Written permission must be obtained from the author of any unpublished material cited from other laboratories, and should accompany the manuscript. All permissions listings must be shown in manuscript—they cannot be entered on proofs.
FEES AND REPRINTS
To help defray the cost of printing, the publisher requests that charges of $80 per printed page be paid by all authors who have funds available from research grants or from their institutions. (Editorial Board members will be charged a special price of $55 per printed page.) However, the ability to pay page charges is not a prerequisite for publication. Reprints may be ordered by using the reprint order form that accompanies page proofs. Reprints ordered after the issue is printed will be charged at a substantially higher rate.
