The scope of the British Journal of Nutrition

摘要

The British Journal of Nutrition (BJN) is ?rmly established as one of the premier journals in nutritional science (1,2) . It is receiving more manuscripts for consideration than ever before and is now published twice monthly (3) ; an online, fully open access sister journal ( Journal of Nutritional Science) was launched in January 2012 (4,5) . The goal of the BJN is the publication of high-quality papers based on original nutrition research in human subjects and other animal species. Contents include peer-reviewed research papers covering all aspects of nutritional science; reviews, mini-reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses; commentaries on controversial or emerging issues or on published papers; and supplements providing a broad discussion of topics of interest. The Editorial Board of the BJN is international with members from nineteen countries; authorship is even broader than this (6) . In previous editorials I have described the de?nition of authorship (7) , the process by which submitted manuscripts are handled before reaching a decision (8) , and the importance of declaring con?icts of interest (9) . The BJN publishes papers in molecular, cellular, whole body, human, clinical, public health, experimental animal and wild, captive and domesticated animal nutrition.
