HOW TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE

The Food and Nutrition Bulletin welcomes the submission of policy analyses, state-of-the-art summaries, and original scientific articles relating to multidisciplinary efforts to alleviate the problems of hunger and malnutrition in the developing world.  Also of interest are “Short Communications,” defined as papers that explore a topic with the customary scientific rigor but that do not need extensive analysis and discussion of the data or that have useful information that is not sufficient for a full article.

The content of the articles must be broadly applicable to nutrition research interests and needs in developing countries; articles that pertain only to individuals in a single discipline or within a single country or region will not be accepted.

Before submission
Authors who wish to submit an article to the FNB for consideration should first read the FNB Editorial Policy and the Content and Style Guidelines prior to submission. Please note that articles that do not meet the content and formatting guidelines outlined in these documents will be returned.

How to submit
Once you have read the above guidelines, and followed the formatting instructions, please submit your article as a MS Word document by email to: fnbsubmissions@inffoundation.org.

After article submission
We usually confirm receipt of new manuscripts by email within 72 hours. If you do not receive a confirmation email from us within one week, please do not hesitate to send a follow-up email to ensure that your manuscript was received.

Editorial Process
The FNB editors initially review each new submission, and if acceptable, send out the manuscripts to at least two experienced and knowledgeable peer reviewers. Please note that this peer review process may take 4-6 months.

Once the FNB receives the comments from peer reviewers, the FNB editors and editor-in-chief make a final decision regarding publication. At this stage, the corresponding author may be asked to make certain revisions based on peer reviewer suggestions to be accepted for publication. If a manuscript is not accepted for publication, the corresponding author will receive a letter from the editor which will include an explanation for the decision.
