Instructions to Authors
Nutrition Research rapidly publishes original papers and review articles covering basic and applied research on all aspects of the nutritional sciences. It includes articles on nutritional biochemistry and metabolism; nutrient requirements in health and disease; digestion and absorption of foods; nutritional anthropology and epidemiology; the influence of socioeconomic, cultural and political factors on nutrition of the individual and the community; the impact of nutrient intake on disease response, work performance and behavior; the consequences of nutritional deficiency on growth and development, endocrines, nervous system and immunity; food intolerance and allergy; nutrient drug interactions; nutrition and aging; nutrition and cancer; obesity; intervention programs.

The Journal includes original articles, brief communications, critical reviews of topical subjects, hypotheses, editorial commentaries, conference summaries, book reviews and country reports.
Submission of Manuscripts: Papers must be submitted in English. Papers for publication should be sent in triplicate by First Class (Air Mail outside USA and Canada) to Nutrition Research, C/O Dr. R.K. Chandra, PO Box 21272 St. John's, NF A1A 5B2, Canada; Tel: (709) 777 4519, Fax: (709) 753 3322, Email: rchandra@morgan.ucs.mun.ca; Street Address: Nutrition Research, 80 Elizabeth Avenue, St. John's, NF A1A 1W7, Canada
General Instructions: The Journal does not wish to consider for publication a paper or work that has already been reported in a published paper or is described in a paper submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. This does not refer to abstracts of communications presented at scientific meetings. When submitting a manuscript, an author should always make a full statement to the editor about all submissions and prior reports that might be regarded as prior or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work.
Papers describing research on human subjects should include a statement that the research was approved by the ethical committee of the institution. For research on experimental animals, authors are expected to have followed the institutional guideline for the care and use of laboratory animals.
Page Restrictions: Original articles and Review articles should generally not exceed 18 pages. Brief communications should occupy not more than 8 pages. A footnote may be inserted to indicate that further details of data are available from the corresponding author.
Text should be clear and concise. Tables, figures and references must be cited in sequence in the text. Past tense should be used in reference to the work on which the paper is based, while present tense is normally limited to existing knowledge and prevailing concepts. Previous knowledge and new contributions should be clearly differentiated. The text is usually broken down into sections with major headings.
Major Headings: Headings throughout the paper should be arranged to increase clarity. Major headings, are Introduction, Methods and Materials, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, and References. Other headings should be arranged to indicate their relative importance.
Acknowledgements: This section should state the precise role of each coauthor in conducting the study and preparation of the manuscript. In addition, financial and other support should be mentioned and any potential or actual conflict of interest acknowledged.
Statistical Methods: Tests of statistical significance should be identified. Statements about statistical significance of results should be accompanied by indications of the level of significance. It is preferable to provide these as footnotes to tables and in the captions of figures rather than in the text only.
Abbreviations, Symbols and Units of Measure: Use only standard abbreviations. Consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual. Abbreviations should not be used in the title or major headings. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. The International System of Units (SI) should be used for all measurements.
Manuscripts will not be returned. Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. The Editor does not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted. Upon acceptance of an article, author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Submission of accepted papers as electronic manuscripts (i.e., on disk with accompanying manuscript) is encouraged. Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for re-keying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. The preferred storage medium is a 3.5-inch disk in MS-DOS format, although other systems are welcome, e.g., Macintosh (in this case, save your file in the usual manner; do not use the option "save in MS-DOS format"). Do not submit your original paper as an electronic manuscript but hold on to the disk until the Editor requests it (in case your paper is accepted without revisions). Do submit the accepted version of your paper as an electronic manuscript. Make absolutely sure that the file on the disk and the printout are identical. Please use a new and correctly formatted disk and label this with your name; also specify the software and hardware used as well as the title of the file to be processed. Do not convert the file to plain ASCII. Ensure that the letter 'l' and digit '1' and the letter 'O' and digit '0' are used properly, and format your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your word processor (Greek letters mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha,(alpha), , etc., for the Greek letter ). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text; a list of codes used should accompany the electronic manuscript. Do not allow your word processor to introduce word breaks and do not use a justified layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions below on style, arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced, with wide margins, and printed on one side of the paper only. All pages should be numbered consequently. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be printed on separate pages.
The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (i) the title; (ii) the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); (iii) an abstract of no more than 150 words; (iv) and up to six key words. If possible, key words should be taken from the medical subject headings of the Index Medicus.
A footnote on the same sheet should give the name, address, and telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author [as well as an e-mail address].
Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with superscript Arabic numerals. They should be double-spaced and not include displayed formulae or tables.
Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet not to be published).
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. In-text citations are on-line numbers enclosed within brackets, e.g., [1,2]. The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between references cited in the text and those on the list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices, but before tables and legends for figures). It should be double-spaced. References should appear as follows:
For journal articles: [1] Kannel WB, Belanger AJ. Epidemiology of heart failure. Am Heart J 1991;121(3):951--7.
For books: [2] Palmer RJ, Moncada S. Vascular endothelial cells. 3rd ed. New York: Science Publishers, 1996. p. 84--93.
For article or chapter in edited book: [3] Gross SS, Aisaka K, Jaffee EA. Nitric oxide synthesis. In: Levi R, Griffith OW, editors. Biochemistry basics. New York: Biopub Inc., 1990. p. 96--103.
Illustrations will be reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the author; they will not be redrawn by the publisher. Please provide all illustrations in triplicate (two high-contrast originals and one photocopy). Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. The illustrations should not be inserted in the text, and should be marked on the back with figure number, title of paper, and author's name. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Illustration for papers submitted as electronic manuscripts should be in traditional form. Legends to figures should be printed on separate sheets.
Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals and printed on separate sheets.
Any manuscript that does not conform to the above instructions may be returned for the necessary revision before publication.
Suggested Reviewers: Authors are invited to suggest the names and addresses of up to 4 experts who may be called upon to review the manuscript.
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author. Corrections should be restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. Extensive alterations will be charged. Authors will receive a form from the publisher from which to order offprints.
