Identification. The Scientific Editor assigns an identifying (ID) number to every submitted paper if it meets the general suitability for publication in FSTR . The author(s) is requested to use the ID number in future correspondence with the editor.
Acceptance. Every manuscript will be reviewed by at least two referees. Those not meeting FSTR's scientific standard will be rejected outright by the editorial board. The author(s) is requested to return the revised manuscript within two months after the date the editor send it back. The revised manuscript may be handled as a newly submitted paper if it is returned more than two months later. If there is a rational reason that the author(s) cannot return the revised manuscript within two months, he/she should so inform the editor in advance.
Types of Papers. The following types of papers will be considered for publication. Original papers, technical papers, reviews, short communications, notes and letters. Original papers and technical papers should be concisely and clearly written within 6,000 words (equivalent to 20-25 typewritten pages including figures, tables and references). A review article should be no more than 8,000 words in length. Short communications will be accepted for rapid publication, but authors are requested to attach a letter explaining the specific reason for accelerated publication. Short communications and notes should not exceed 4,000 words (equivalent to 12-15 typewritten pages including figures, tables and references). Other articles such as reviews requested by editors can also be published. In addition to regular research papers, letters commenting on the scientific content of papers which have been published in FSTR are considered for publication if the comment is received within 6 months of the date of publication of the paper. The author(s) of the paper may be asked to respond to the comments.
Language. Articles should be written in English. Authors whose primary language is not English should have the paper checked by a person whose native language is English or equivalent before submitting it.
Copyright. All material published in FSTR including figures and tables is copyrighted and should not be reproduced by anyone (including authors) without permission from the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology. Authors are requested to send a signed copyright status form with checked proofs when returned.
Organization of Manuscripts. A regular full-length paper should be composed of Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Theoretical (if necessary), Experimental or Methods, Results, Discussion (or Results and Discussion) and References. Conclusion (s), Acknowldgements and Nomenclature may be included before References and Appendix may be included after References, if necessary.
Title. Concise and clear description of the content of the article using informative keyword(s). If the title exceeds 70 letters, an abbreviated running title within 40 letters including spaces should be supplied. All papers should be submitted to report results of independent research. Consequently, sequential numbering of papers in a series is not allowed.
Author(s). Only the originator(s) of the basic idea and experimental design, one who has performed an experiment which requires special skills, and data analysts can be designated an author. Omit academic and social titles. One who has performed common laboratory tasks, or has merely been a team member or superior of the group is not eligible to claim authorship.
Abstract. Abstracts should be supplied as a clear concise (100-150 words) one-paragraph summary which gives scope and purpose, methods, significant new findings and conclusions. Japanese authors are requested to submit a Japanese abstract (400 letters including title and author(s)) as well.
Keywords. 3-7 keywords or key phrases which express all the topics included in the text should be supplied. Keywords will be used in compiling the annual index.
Trade names and abbreviations. No abbreviation or trade name should appear in titles. Trade names are to be avoided in defining products, except where the value of the paper cannot otherwise be recognized. Define trade names and abbreviations at the point of first use. First letters of trade names are capitalized.
If abbreviations are specialized, include an abbreviation list in the first page of the text.
Introduction. A clear introductory statement of the objective of the research and a review of essential previous work should be given by citing appropriate references. If a recent article has already summarized papers on the subject, cite the article but do not repeat it.
Theoretical. Detailed description of theoretical background of the work may be supplied when it has been conducted based on a new or unique theory.
Experimental or Methods. This section can also be separated into Materials and Methods. Describe sufficient detail of the method so the work can be reproduced. Well-known operations should not be described in detail. List special reagents and apparatus essential for the work with their sources (producer, place). Do not describe reagents and apparatus or equipment which are normally found in the laboratory and used in the normal way. If a recent article has already described these in detail, cite the article.
Results and Discussion. Results and Discussion may be presented in separate sections or a combined section. Describe the results concisely and clearly either in the form of table(s) or figure(s). Both should not be used for the same set of results.
Nomenclature. In general the journal follows the rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Well-known names may be used if no ambiguity is likely. Definitions of symbols used should be listed prior to the reference.
Acknowledgments. If necessary, acknowledgments can be placed at the end of text (before References). Acknowledgments for technical assistance or other services in works, sources of special materials, financial support or one who has proveded creative discussion are appropriate. Acknowledgments indicating encouragement or permission to publish by the author's employer should be omitted. Omit academic and social titles.
References. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.
(1) The name of the journal should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index.
(2) In the text, a reference should be cited by the last name of the author and year; both authors when two but first author et al. when more than two. The names of all authors should be given in References.
(3) Citations should be typed in alphabetical order, with the authors' name(s), year, paper title, journal, volume number, inclusive page numbers. For authors with same last name, give full first names. References by the same author(s) should be listed choronologically with most recent first. List multiple references by the same author(s) in any one year, with a, b, ... by order of citation in the text.
(4) References accepted for publication but not yet published should be listed "In press" and the journal name and year of expected publication shown, if possible. A reference which has been submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be listed "Submitted for publication."
(5) If pages of a reference are not numbered consecutively in the same volume, cite only the number of the first page followed by the issue inparentheses.
(6) Avoid using idem and ibid. but write all names of author(s) and journal, if the same author(s) or journal consecutively appears in the list.
(7) Use "Anonymous" if no author is indicated but cite the same as other papers.
(8) Journals' names and titles in English but in alphabetical characters should be listed in their original languages. Titles not in-English and non-alphabetical characters can be translated but journal names may be cited phonetically. In such cases, Chemical Abstracts numbers may be listed instead of citing the original articles.
(9) Unpublished data and private communications should not appear in the list of References. Please use the formats given in the following examples.
