Aims and Scope
Authors are invited to submit complete original research reports, research protocols, and review articles including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, which are not under review in any other conference or journal. Narrative reviews written by the experts with experience in the related field are also welcomed provided that they are commentary and put new insights forward. Study protocols must be submitted preferably before commencement of the study or at the subject recruitment phase at most. Consequently, protocols submitted after completion of the study cannot be accepted. Agreement of all authors on the contents and the submission of the manuscript is necessary.
The outline of the areas covered by NFSR are:

• Community nutrition including nutrition in subcultures, dietary patterns, food choices, food and nutrition security, nutrition in vulnerable groups, socioeconomic determinants of diet-related disorders, and community trials
• Food and nutrition policy
• Food and nutrition surveillance
• Sustainable nutrition
• Nutritional epidemiology including reports from cohort studies
• Nutritional biochemistry and immunology
• International nutrition including global trends of malnutrition, burden of nutrition-related diseases, comparative studies on
• Nutrients physiology, metabolism, interactions, and requirements
• Clinical nutrition especially randomized controlled trials (RCTs)

• Cellular and molecular nutrition including nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, nutrimetabolomics and nutriproteomics
• Laboratory methods of nutrition assessments including new biomarkers of nutrition status
• Functional foods
• Food fortification
• Food microbiology
• Food safety and quality control
• Food toxicology and food contaminants
• Food processing with the emphasis on the impact on nutritional values of the products
•  Food-borne diseases

Please note that the axis of all articles of food science must be nutrition and health. This issue must be reflected in both title and abstract. Therefore, those manuscripts solely on food chemistry, food technology and packaging without noticing to the impact on the nutritional values of the product are out of the scope of the journal.
