Food & Nutrition Research (FNR) was launched in 2008. As one of the first peer reviewed Open Access journals in its field, FNR is now an established forum for publication of original research communications as well as reviews, meta-analyses, reports, debate pieces and short communications in the broad field of human nutrition. FNR has an emphasis on food-related nutrition within topics, such as nutrition & physical activity/performance, nutrition and cognitive functions, nutrition and the metabolic syndrome, molecular nutrition, nutritional effects of food composition and processing, nutrition epidemiology, nutrition in developing countries, animal and in vitro models relevant for human nutrition, and scientific substantiation of health claims on foods.
Open access as practiced for FNR is increasingly required by public research funding bodies. Publication fees are covered by more and more funders and institutions. Open access has many advantages for authors:
FNR is free from all access barriers, allowing for the widest possible global dissemination of your work, leading to more citations. Already in 2008 the journal was accessed by readers from 150 countries and territories.
Rapid publication process – upon acceptance of your article, you can expect your work to be online within 3–4 weeks.
All articles published in FNR are automatically deposited in PubMed Central, in compliance with NIH policies.
Authors can deposit any version of their manuscript in any required repository or archive, or post articles to their personal or institutional website.
Easy online submission – simply click on the ‘Submit Manuscript’ button, register yourself as an author, submit your paper and follow its progression.
Authors retain the non-commercial copyright to their own article; you are free to disseminate your work, make unlimited copies and more.
FNR is published by Co-Action Publishing – a small yet global Open Access scholarly publisher dedicated to providing excellent service to authors.
FNR is ready to receive an increasing number of submissions that are rapidly and carefully taken care of by its Editorial team and international Editorial board. Your paper is essential for the further development of the journal.
