Manuscripts that do not meet these basic criteria may be returned to the authors for revision or declined before entering the peer-review stage.
Eligible manuscripts are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the subject area of the submission. Reviewers are selected based on their academic qualifications, research experience, publication record, and professional expertise in fields related to public health, community service, nutrition, functional foods, food science and technology, nursing, midwifery, environmental health, or other relevant health disciplines.
