Author Guidelines

Scope

The journal of Human Nutrition Dietetics Food Science and Technology (JHNDFST) is an International peer-reviewed, open access, online journal covering all aspects of food and Food processing, Nutrition, Dietary intake and related disciplines. The journal supports the scientific invention, innovation and progress in Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and related agriculture, food security, health and consumer disciplines. It provides a forum for researchers, academicians, practitioners and industrial workers to disseminate research findings.

Manuscript Submission

Manuscripts must be written in English (UK (e.g. colour) or US (e.g. color), standard throughout) and should be typed in double-line spacing in Times New Romans (font 12) on numbered lines and pages throughout with at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins in a word document. Manuscripts are submitted electronically as an attachment through the journal’s e-mail address, j.hndfst@uonbi.ac.ke. Manuscripts for peer review are accepted for consideration on condition that they are submitted exclusively to JHNDFST with a cover letter stating the significance of the research, agreement of co-authors to publish with the Journal and any other supplementary information. The authors are requested to suggest three names of experts in the research subject area; who can be considered as reviewers.

Authorship

The corresponding author ensures that the details of the co-authors are provided including names, qualifications, designation and current address (es). It is important to note that credit for authorship requires substantial contribution in the research conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data, drafting of the article or critical revision for intellectual content.

Types of articles

Original articles: original articles must present data and information from original research in between 3000 and 4000 words.

Review articles: comprise reviews encasing critical analyses, giving the current and up to date information on the reviewed subjects/topics.

Short communications: a short communication comprises an article of between 1000 and 1500 words containing no more than one illustration and focuses on new findings that may not meet the threshold for original articles but is innovative and interesting enough that the author wishes to communicate to the wider scientific audience. It may also be part of an on-going research whose final conclusion is yet to be made.

Letters to the Editor: caters for authors who wish to give scientific and sound opinion to the editor. The length of letters to the Editor is limited to 450 words (in prose) and to a maximum 4 references.

Space for stakeholders: Caters for those who are not necessarily research scientists but are key consumers of research products who wish to demand or utilize research hence have contributions to make to science. As an innovative edge, JHNDFST has dedicated space for articles in Kiswahili.

Ethical Clearance

Authors must submit, with the article, evidence of ethical clearance for research involving human subjects and any other that requires such clearance.

Acknowledgement

Authors are required to acknowledge specific funding agencies, sources of any other support that is received and study communities.
