Nutrition and Food Sciences Research

Aims & Scope

The Nutrition and Food in health and disease is a peer‑reviewed scientific journal that publishes high‑quality, original work across the broad fields of nutrition, food, and public health. We welcome manuscripts that advance scientific understanding and public health practice, including: Original research articles (human, animal, and laboratory studies) Study protocols (submitted before or at the start of participant recruitment) Systematic reviews and meta‑analyses Narrative reviews and expert commentaries that provide new insights or syntheses Randomized controlled trials and clinical studies Short communications, perspectives, and letters to the editor Submission requirements Manuscripts must report original work and must not be under consideration by another journal or conference at the time of submission. All authors must agree to the submission and take responsibility for the manuscript’s content. Study protocols should be submitted before the commencement of the study or, at latest, during the subject‑recruitment phase; protocols describing completed studies will not be considered. Clinical trials must be registered in a publicly accessible trial registry prior to enrollment of the first participant and must comply with recognized ethical standards. Authors are encouraged to follow appropriate reporting guidelines (e.g., CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE) and to provide structured abstracts and complete metadata. Scope — topics we cover Community nutrition and public‑health nutrition (dietary patterns, food choices, nutrition in vulnerable groups, socioeconomic determinants, community interventions) Food and nutrition policy, surveillance, and program evaluation Sustainable nutrition, food security, and global nutrition trends Nutritional epidemiology (including cohort and population studies) Nutritional biochemistry, immunology, and biomarkers of nutritional status Nutrients: physiology, metabolism, interactions, and requirements Clinical nutrition and nutrition‑related randomized controlled trials Cellular and molecular nutrition (nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, nutrimetabolomics, nutriproteomics) Functional foods, food fortification, and biofortification Food safety, food microbiology, food toxicology, and contaminants Food processing and its impact on nutritional value and health Laboratory methods for nutrition assessment and new biomarkers Food‑borne disease epidemiology and prevention Scope exclusions and emphasis The primary axis of all food‑science submissions must be nutrition and health . The nutrition or health relevance must be clear in the manuscript title and abstract. Manuscripts focusing solely on food chemistry, packaging, or engineering without an explicit link to nutritional outcomes or health impact are out of scope and will be declined.
