Aims and Scope

The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition is the premier peer-reviewed journal among professionals interested in nutrition, food and water security, health, agriculture and the environment.

The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition:

• provides a distinguished venue for the publication of original articles prepared by scholars and practitioners in the field and reviewed by qualified peers
• publishes manuscripts that advance knowledge across the range of research and practice issues in nutrition, food and water security, health, agriculture and the environment
• supports the professional growth of researchers and practitioners in these areas.

The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition studies the growing connection and interdependence between the environment, food, nutrition, and health. It comprehensively examines local, national and international hunger and environmental nutrition issues—specifically food access, food security, food production, agriculture, and the interconnectedness on nutrition and health. The journal is designed to provide current research and application information on public policy, legislation, and regulation related to sustainable ecosystems and the link with maintaining optimal nutrition and well-being for all people.

Submission of Manuscripts:

Manuscripts may be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Marie Boyle Struble. Send electronic files as WORD documents to mstruble@cse.edu. In the e-mail subject line, the author(s) should indicate that this is a submission for the Journal of Hunger and Environmental Nutrition (JHEN). The body of the e-mail should contain a cover letter indicating names and affiliations of all authors. The manuscripts should be double-spaced (including endnotes and references). Leave one-inch margins on all four sides. Set all notes as endnotes. Submit a cover page with the manuscript, indicating only the article title and an ABSTRACT of about 100 words (below the abstract provide 3-10 key words for indexing purposes); (this is used for anonymous refereeing). Include a second "title page" with the manuscript. The second "title page" should include the title; full authorship; an ABSTRACT of about 100 words (below the abstract provide 3-10 key words for indexing purposes); a header or footer on each page with abbreviated title and page number of total (e.g., pg 2 of 7); and an introductory note with authors' academic degrees, professional titles, affiliations, mailing and e-mail addresses, and any desired acknowledgement of research support or other credit.

Reports of original research (“Research Articles”) should be approximately 25 typed pages (including references and abstract). Reports of results from a small or non-representative sample or report on secondary results from a larger study (“Research Briefs”) should be approximately 14 typed pages. Program and/or project “snapshots” that give a program or project's mission, objectives, implementation process, outcomes, and evaluation (“Field Notes”) should be no longer than 250-500 words. Timely expressions of sensible criticism or reaction to published material (“Letters to the Editor”) should be no longer than 200 words. Lengthier manuscripts may be considered, but only at the discretion of the Editor. Sometimes lengthier manuscripts may be considered if they can be divided up into papers for publication in successive journal issues.

INCONSISTENCIES MUST BE AVOIDED. Be sure you are consistent in your use of abbreviations, terminology, and in citing references, from one part of your paper to another. Words should be underlined only when it is intended that they be typeset in italics.

If your paper is accepted by the editor contingent upon changes that are mandated by anonymous specialist referees and/or members of the editorial board and if the editor returns your manuscript for revisions, you are responsible for retyping any sections of the paper to incorporate these revisions (if applicable, revisions should also be put on disk).

Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.

Prior to publication, all accepted papers are edited for style and grammar by Taylor & Francis's copyeditors.

References

References, citations, and general style of manuscripts should follow the American Medical Association Manual of Style, 9^th Edition. References should be double-spaced and placed in numerical order. They should be identified in the text by superscript Arabic numerals.
