SCI’s Journal of the Science of Meals and Agriculture (JSFA) has introduced a sister title, JSFA Experiences, in reaction to the substantial number of significant excellent submissions it has been obtaining. Launched in December 2021, the initially two difficulties of JSFA Reviews have protected regions as assorted as soil amendments for strengthening grain quality of grass peas and foodborne pathogen persisters. JSFA Studies has currently experienced over 2,000 downloads inside this brief period.
Both equally titles had been introduced by Professor Andrew Waterhouse, University of California, United states and Dr Mark Shepherd, Ag Exploration Confined, New Zealand. According to Professor Waterhouse:
“Increasingly, we uncovered that we were turning down submissions for JSFA material – submissions that discovered sound science, strong data and data examination. In 2020 by itself, we received in excess of 5,000 submissions, a lot extra than we could at any time publish. Supplied this pretty large amount of reader engagement, we had been loath to transform down so lots of submissions and wanted to create another significant-excellent outlet in reaction to need. The reward for authors is that there is a seamless changeover to consideration by the sister journal if written content room is small.”
The new journal covers the identical topic regions as JSFA – foodstuff, agriculture, and relevant topics – but with a broader scope when it will come to the reducing-edge novelty and international application that JSFA calls for. This provides the authors a platform to publish excellent scientific information which includes and not limited to regionally centered studies, confirmatory reports of a recognised experimental style, system optimisations and survey reports. Even though confirmatory research offer validation and generalizability for experimental set ups, regional research and approach optimisations enable lower the R&D bills when scaling up, so producing these info important to marketplace.
Professor Waterhouse continued:
“In Issue 1 (January 2022) we featured the work on Opportunity markers by DNA-primarily based equipment for dedication of Greek PDO geographical origin and authenticity: ‘Avgotaracho Mesolonghiou’ and ‘Vostizza currant’. This uncovered the very first at any time analyze on the use of DNA primarily based equipment for checking the traceability and authentication of Greek Guarded Designation of Origin (PDO) delicacies. At this time, these kinds of merchandise with the EU PDO label command higher rates in world-wide food items trade thanks to their geographical origin and affiliated common know-how. This necessitates solutions to examine the authenticity and stop adulteration. Expanding our journal portfolio in this way, implies we have extra area for sound results which have immediate application to regional foodstuff manufacturing.
Authors can submit substance to JSFA to be deemed for publication in both of those JSFA as very well as JSFA Studies and will be transferred to JSFA Reviews when relevant. JSFA Stories also accepts direct submissions.
