Aims & Scope
The Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research (JNFSR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal from Directive Publications advancing evidence across human nutrition, food safety, and food science. It serves nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, technologists, and public-health researchers seeking a rigorous, internationally accessible venue for original work that links the laboratory bench to dietary practice and policy.
The journal publishes research on food safety, quality, and adulteration (including milk and dairy authentication, contamination, and supply-chain integrity); functional foods, nutraceuticals, and bioactive compounds such as antioxidants and Moringa-derived ingredients; micronutrients and clinical nutrition, including iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin supplementation; and community and public-health nutrition spanning breastfeeding, child stunting, food security, and school feeding programs.
Methodological contributions in food chemistry, physicochemical and shelf-life analysis, fortification, sensory evaluation, and analytical detection of adulterants are equally welcome. We accept original research, systematic and narrative reviews, case reports, short communications, and editorials.
Every submission undergoes double-blind peer review. Accepted articles are published open access under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) license with authors retaining copyright, assigned a permanent Crossref DOI, and made discoverable through OpenAlex, Google Scholar, and an OAI-PMH endpoint. The journal follows COPE ethical principles; an article-processing charge applies on acceptance, with waivers and discounts available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics does the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research cover?
JNFSR covers human nutrition and food science, including food safety, quality, and adulteration (such as milk authentication and supply-chain integrity); functional foods, nutraceuticals, and bioactive compounds; micronutrients and clinical nutrition such as iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin supplementation; community and public-health nutrition including breastfeeding and child stunting; and food chemistry, processing, and shelf-life analysis.
Who should read and publish in the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research?
The journal is intended for nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists and technologists, food-safety and quality professionals, public-health and community-nutrition researchers, and graduate students. Authors working on food adulteration detection, functional foods, micronutrient interventions, or food-security and dietary-policy studies are encouraged to submit.
How do I submit a manuscript to the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research?
Prepare your manuscript according to the author guidelines and submit it through the journal's submit page. JNFSR welcomes original research, systematic and narrative reviews, case reports, short communications, and editorials in nutrition and food science. Submissions in food safety, functional foods, clinical nutrition, and public-health nutrition are especially welcome.
What types of articles does the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research publish?
JNFSR publishes original research articles, systematic and narrative review articles, case reports, short communications, and editorials. Both laboratory-based food-science studies (food chemistry, analytical detection, processing, shelf-life) and applied nutrition and public-health research (dietary interventions, micronutrient studies, community nutrition) fall within scope.
Is the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research open access and peer reviewed?
Yes. JNFSR is fully open access: every article is published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) license with authors retaining copyright, and is freely available worldwide. All submissions undergo rigorous double-blind peer review, and accepted articles receive a permanent Crossref DOI for citability and long-term preservation.
Does the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research charge an article-processing charge, and are waivers available?
An article-processing charge (APC) applies only on acceptance, after successful peer review; there are no submission fees. Directive Publications offers waivers and discounts to support authors who lack funding, including early-career researchers and authors from low- and middle-income countries. Contact the editorial office for current APC details and waiver eligibility.
How are articles in the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research discovered and indexed?
Each article receives a permanent Crossref DOI and is made discoverable through OpenAlex and Google Scholar, with metadata exposed via an OAI-PMH endpoint for harvesting. The journal follows COPE ethical principles and is actively working toward broader indexing, including preparing its application to the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
What makes the Journal of Nutrition & Food Science Research a good venue for food-safety and functional-foods research?
JNFSR provides a focused home for food-safety, adulteration-detection, and functional-foods scholarship, bridging analytical food science with applied human nutrition. Open-access CC-BY publication maximizes reach to practitioners and policymakers, while permanent Crossref DOIs and OpenAlex/Google Scholar discoverability help your work on topics like milk adulteration, nutraceuticals, and micronutrient interventions reach and be cited by the right audience.
