About the journal
The Journal of Food Safety emphasizes mechanistic studies involving inhibition, injury, and metabolism of food poisoning microorganisms, as well as the regulation of growth and toxin production in both model systems and complex food substrates. It also focuses on pathogens which cause food-borne illness, helping readers understand the factors affecting the initial detection of parasites, their development, transmission, and methods of control and destruction.

Exclusive Licence Form.
Publication in the journal is subject to the condition that the article (as a whole or in part) has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. In submitting the manuscript to the publisher, the author certifies that neither the author's contribution nor any text or figures procured and included by the author infringes upon the rights of a third party, and that the author alone is authorized to dispose of the existing right of utilization. The author will refrain from any other duplication and distribution or digital transfer and reproduction (e.g., on the Internet) during the period of the contract. In order for an article to be distributed as widely as possible in the journal, the author must grant Blackwell Publishing Ltd (Blackwell Publishing) an exclusive licence to publish the article, including the abstract in printed and electronic form, in all languages, and to administer subsidiary rights agreements with third parties for the full period of copyright and all renewals, extensions, revisions and revivals. The article is deemed to include all material submitted for publication with the exception of Letters, and includes the text, figures, tables, author contact details and all supplementary material accompanying the article. The Exclusive License form can be found at
This form can be downloaded by following the 'Instructions & Forms' link from http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/foodsafety.
Please be advised that clarity of language is a requirement of acceptance .
Those authors for whom English is not their primary language should seek the assistance of a professional editing service before submitting their manuscript for consideration. Follow the link below for more information on professional editing services:
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp
List on page one the title, which should be concise and informative; the complete name(s) of the author(s); the affiliation of the author(s); and the name and email address to whom correspondence should be sent.
List on page one the title, which should be concise and informative; the complete name(s) of the author(s); the affiliation of the author(s); the name and email address to whom correspondence should be sent; and the names and email addresses of two potential reviewers of the manuscript. Include on page two the following:
1. An abstract of not more than 150 words that is intelligible by itself.
2. A description of not more than 150 words of the practical uses - actual or potential - of the research presented in your manuscript. This text should be entitled "Practical Applications" and appear just below the abstract.
3. A list of up to ten key words that reflect the paper's focus and content.
Begin the main text on page three and follow the arrangement described below:
?nbsp;Introduction: Be brief and state the reason for the work in relation to the field, indicating what new contribution is made by the work described.
?nbsp;Materials and Methods: Provide enough information to allow other investigators to repeat the work. Avoid repeating the details of procedures that have already been published elsewhere.
?nbsp;Results: Present results as concisely as possible. Do not use tables and figures to present of the same data.
?nbsp;Discussion: Interpret the results here. The results should not be repeated, though in some cases it might be desirable to combine results and discussion sections.
?nbsp;References: In the text, give references by the surname of the authors and the year, using et al. when there are more than two authors. In the References section, list all authors, organizing the references alphabetically by the primary author's surname. See below for examples of the style to be used.
DEWALD, B., DULANEY, J.T. and TOUSTER, O. 1974. Solubilization and polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis of membrane enzymes with detergents. In Methods in Enzymology, Vol. xxxii, (S. Fleischer and L. Packer, eds.) pp. 82-91, Academic Press, New York.
HASSON, E.P. and LATIES, G.G. 1976. Separation and characterization of potato lipid acylhydrolases. Plant Physiol. 57, 142-147.
ZABORSKY, O. 1973. Immobilized Enzymes, pp. 28-46, CRC Press, Cleveland, Ohio.
Responsibility for the accuracy of citations rests entirely with the author(s). References to papers in press should indicate the name of the journal, following the abbreviation used in Chemical Abstracts, and should only be used for papers that have been accepted for publication. Refer to submitted papers by such terms as "unpublished observations" or "private communication," though use such resources only when absolutely necessary.
Follow standard nomenclature as used in the scientific literature and avoid laboratory jargon. If ab¬breviations or trade names are used, define the material or compound the first time that it is mentioned.
Figures, tables, and art: Figures, tables, and art should be intelligible without reference to the text, though each one should be referenced in the text.
Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals. Include figure legends on separate pages.
Submit tables in Microsoft Word format, and number them consecutively with Arabic numerals. Include a description of experimental work or an explanation of symbols below the table proper. The title of the table should appear as in the following example:
TABLE 1.
ACTIVITY OF POTATO ACYL-HYDROLASES ON NEUTRAL LIPIDS,
GALACTOLIPIDS, AND PHOSPHOLIPIDS
Please submit artwork in digital format. Save line artwork (vector graphics) as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files and bitmap files (halftones or photographic images) as Tagged Image Format (TIFF), with a resolution of at least 300 dpi at final size. Do not send native file formats. More detailed information on the submission of electronic artwork can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp. If these formats and resolutions are not possible for art, hardcopy art may be submitted.
Acknowledgments: Where applicable, list acknowledgments on a separate page.
Short notes: Short notes will be published where the information is deemed sufficiently important to warrant rapid publication. The format for short papers may be similar to that for regular papers but more concisely written. Short notes may be of a less general nature and written principally for specialists in the particular area with which the manuscript is dealing. Manuscripts that do not meet the requirements of importance and necessity for rapid publication will, after notification of the author(s), be treated as regular papers. Regular papers may be very short in length.
