About this journal
Aims and scope
The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition is the premier peer-reviewed journal that examines global food and water system issues that impact access, nutrition, human health and ecological health.
The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition comprehensively examines local, national, and international hunger and environmental nutrition issues — specifically food access, food and water security, food production and processing, food waste, natural resources, and the interconnectedness to nutrition and health. The journal is designed to provide current research and practical application strategies for policies, systems and environments that maintain optimal nutrition and well being for individuals and communities.The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition :
- Provides a distinguished venue for the publication of original articles prepared by scholars and practitioners and reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees
- Publishes manuscripts that advance knowledge across the range of research and practice issues in nutrition, food and water security, health, agriculture, and the environment; and
- Supports the professional growth of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in these areas.
Manuscripts must be submitted online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Submitted manuscripts are subject to a first screening by the Editors of the Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition, whereupon manuscripts found suitable for further consideration enter the peer-review process. Manuscripts undergo double anonymized peer-review, which means that the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers who handle their specific manuscripts, and reviewers do not know the identities of the authors.
Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
