Aims and Scope
Food & Nutrition Research is a peer-reviewed journal that presents the latest scientific research in various fields focusing on human nutrition. The journal publishes both quantitative and qualitative research papers.
Through an Open Access publishing model, Food & Nutrition Research opens an important forum for researchers from academic and private arenas to exchange the latest results from research on human nutrition in a broad sense, both original papers and reviews, including:
- Associations and effects of foods and nutrients on health
- Dietary patterns and health
- Molecular nutrition
- Health claims on foods
- Nutrition and cognitive functions
- Nutritional effects of food composition and processing
- Nutrition in developing countries
- Animal and in vitro models with clear relevance for human nutrition
- Nutrition and the Environment
- Food and Nutrition Education
- Nutrition and Economics
Research papers on food chemistry (focus on chemical composition and analysis of foods) are generally not considered eligible, unless the results have a clear impact on human nutrition.
The journal focuses on the different aspects of nutrition for people involved in nutrition research such as Dentists, Dieticians, Medical doctors, Nutritionists, Teachers, Journalists and Manufacturers in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Peer Review Process
Papers submitted to Food & Nutrition Research are subject to rigorous peer review so as to ensure that the research published is 'good science'.
Manuscripts are sent out for review electronically, and all correspondence takes place via e-mail. Although the peer review process is accelerated by the use of electronic communication, traditional, high-quality peer-review standards are applied to all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
Food & Nutrition Research has a 'single blind' review process: Authors are not told who reviewed their paper. The peer referees’ identity remains unknown to the authors although it is up to the referee if he/she wants to contact the author at a later stage and reveal his/her identity.
Peer reviewers are asked to give their opinion on a number of issues pertinent to the scientific and formal aspects of a paper, and to judge the papers on grounds of originality and urgency. All relevant information will be forwarded to the author(s).
Peer reviewers will have six possible options, for each article:
1. Accept manuscript (i.e. no need for any revision)
2. Accept after revision (i.e. accepted if the author makes the requested revisions)
3. Revise and resubmit (i.e. accepted or rejected after revisions have been made - paper will be sent out for another peer review round)
4. Submit elsewhere (i.e. if the manuscript is better suited for another journal)
5. Reject manuscript (i.e. if the manuscript is substandard)
6. See comments (i.e. if the reviewer cannot choose from any of the above)
In addition, papers may be rejected directly by the Chief Editor if judged to be out of scope or if scientifically or formally sub-standard.
When asking for revisions, reviewers have two possible goals: to ask authors to tighten their arguments based on existing data or to identify areas where more data are needed. Even formal revision may be required if the language or style is sub-standard. To facilitate rapid publication, authors are given a maximum of 2 months for revision. After 2 months, revised manuscripts will be considered new submissions.
Publication Frequency
All articles to Food & Nutrition Research are posted online immediately as they are ready for publication. All articles will be assigned a DOI number (Digital Object Identifier) whereby they become searchable and citeable without delay.
Archiving
This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.
In addition, all files will be archived with PubMed Central (PMC), CLOCKSS and Portico.
Author Self-Archiving
Authors are permitted and encouraged to post items submitted to this journal on personal or institutional websites, prior to and after publication (while providing the bibliographic details of that publication)
Open Access Policy
Food & Nutrition Research is accessible via the journal’s website at www.foodandnutritionresearch.net as well as via international search engines such as Google Scholar, in addition to the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Under the Open Access model authors retain copyright. See copyright section.
Publication fee
The Open Access model used for Food & Nutrition Research implies that production costs are mainly covered by publication fees. We strive to keep publication fee at a minimum. The publication of an article (up to 7 typeset pages) in Food & Nutrition Research incurs a charge of €1200 (Europe) or $1660 (rest of the world). Articles exceeding 7 pages incur an additional charge of €75/$105 per page. Swedish VAT (25%) will be added to customers within the European Union, except non-Swedish organisations that provide their VAT-number. It is customary that the author’s institution covers the publication costs for articles resulting from research undertaken at the institution, or that money has been earmarked in the grant or stipend the author has received to be able to carry out the research. For a list of OA-friendly universities and funding agencies, please see here. Additional information on how to claim reimbursement/support for publication fees can be found here.
The total sum will be charged to the author(s) upon acceptance of his/her article.
Waivers We offer a complete or partial fee waiver on a case-by-case basis for individual authors or author groups who do not have funds to cover publication fees. Please mail your request for a waiver to waivers@co-action.net before submission of your manuscript. Requests for waivers of the publication fee for manuscripts that have already gone through peer review or been typeset will not be granted. Editors and reviewers have no access to author payment information, and inability to pay will therefore not influence the decision to accept your paper or not.
Withdrawal of manuscript If you withdraw your manuscript after it has been typeset (but not yet published) you will be charged for the peer review and typesetting costs, €60/$85 per page.

Manuscript Layout Wherever possible, the paper should follow the traditional layout: introduction (motivation, problem identification and a short literature survey), present investigation (background, method, materials, subjects and results), and conclusion.
Begin each section, including figure and table legends, on separate sheets; insert running page numbers. Line numbers should also be inserted. Title page Organize the title page in the following way: 1) title of manuscript, 2) name of author(s), 3) name of department(s) and institution(s), and 4) name and full postal address of the corresponding author who also acts as 'Guarantor' for all parts of the paper.
The title should be informative and accurate and at the same time trigger the interest of the reader. A short running head will be derived from the title to appear on each page of the paper.
Abstract Articles must include a structured abstract of 200-300 words. The abstract should be able to provide sufficient information for a reader to be able to decide whether or not to proceed to the full text of the article. The abstract should be structured in the following way: Background, Objective, Design, Results, Conclusions. After the abstract, please give 5-10 key words; avoid using the same words as in the title.
Section headings Please do not number section headings. Use a maximum of three levels of headings made clear by orthographic indicators, i.e. capitals, italics, bold etc.
References Number the references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in the text by arabic numerals and in parentheses [e.g. (14)]. References should follow the standard biomedical format (so-called Vancouver style), recommended by ICJME. ARTICLES FAILING TO FOLLOW THIS STYLE WILL BE RETURNED TO THE AUTHORS FOR CORRECTION.
Information from papers in manuscript but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as 'unpublished observation(s)' or 'personal communication'.

Like most website operators, Co-Action Publishing collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Co-Action Publishing’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Co-Action Publishing’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Co-Action Publishing may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Co-Action Publishing’s websites interact with Co-Action Publishing in ways that require Co-Action Publishing to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Co-Action Publishing gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Co-Action Publishing’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Co-Action Publishing will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Co-Action Publishing discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Co-Action Publishing believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Co-Action Publishing, third parties or the public at large.
