Submission guidelines
Instructions for Authors
Types of Papers
The JCF welcomes high quality research papers presenting novel data in the fields of food, feed, commodities, crop protection products, veterinary drugs, genetic engineering and consumer protection. After peer review, new data in these areas are published as RESEARCH ARTICLES, SHORT COMMUNICATIONS and METHODS. Research papers will be accepted that have not been published previously. The JCF also accepts REVIEW ARTICLES after successful peer review.
The JCF also publishes EDITORIALS, OPINION ARTICLES, ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REPORTS, and EVENTS AND NEWS which are not undergoing a peer review.
All submissions in JCF undergo an initial editorial review. The general format for all peer review manuscript types is identical but varies for Editorials, Opinion Articles, Announcements and Reports, and Events and News. The selection is based on the content of the manuscript and will be decided by the editorial office. However, authors are invited to select an appropriate type of paper and draft the manuscript according to the listed criteria. Due to limited space in JCF, all manuscript types are also limited in terms of their length.
General format for peer review articles
Manuscript sections should be presented in the following order:
Title page with abstract and keywords,
Introduction,
Material and methods (except for Short Communications),
Results,
Discussion (or Results and discussion in one section),
Conclusions,
Acknowledgment,
References,
Tables, Figure legends and Figures.
German articles should contain an English title, abstract, and keywords.
Important: Data that are not essential for understanding the content of the paper should be included only as supplementary data.
RESEARCH ARTICLES (original research, peer-reviewed) generally contain extensive advances and/or analyses. The maximal length is 28,000 characters including spaces and references but without tables and figures. The abstract should contain no more than 250 words (self-explanatory and without abbreviations). The reference list should have maximally 50 citations.
SHORT COMMUNICATIONS (original research, peer-reviewed) are concise and independent short articles representing new significant contributions. The maximal length is 14,000 characters including spaces, tables, figures and references. The abstract should contain no more than 150 words (self-explanatory and without abbreviations). The reference list should have maximally 10 citations. No sub-structures (sub-headings) are permitted. Data concerning materials and methods should be included as supplementary data.
METHODS (original research, peer-reviewed) are manuscripts focusing on novel methodology. The maximal length is 21,000 characters including spaces and references but without tables and figures. The abstract should contain no more than 150 words (self-explanatory and without abbreviations)
REVIEW ARTICLES (peer-reviewed) including meta-analyses are critical evaluations of material that has previously been published. The maximal length is 35,000 characters including spaces and references but without tables and figures. The abstract should contain no more than 250 words (self-explanatory and without abbreviations). An appropriate chapter structure should be given. No supplementary data is permitted.
General information for Editorial, Opinion articles, Announcements and Reports, and Events and News sections
Editorial, Opinion Articles, Announcements and Reports, and Events and News sections feature lively articles that present the author's opinion and insights regarding current research or other topics of interest to scientists and/or administration staff. The articles and content can either be invited by the Editors or unsolicited manuscripts; suggestions for topics and authors are welcomed. The editorial office of JCF decides about acceptance, changes or rejection.
EDITORIALS are short, invited opinion pieces that discuss an issue of immediate importance to the research community. Editorials should have a maximum length of 8,000 characters (including spaces), no abstract, no more than five references, and no figures or tables.
OPINION ARTICLES present in-depth analysis of current issues such as policy, regulatory, educational, and legislative topics. Appropriate topics include discussions of methods, one or a cluster of recently published papers or a current research topic of great interest in which an author's perspective sheds an incisive light on key findings in research. Opinions should not exceed 15,000 characters including spaces in total (including abstract, main text, references and figure legends). They should have a short pithy title, a three-sentenced abstract, no more than 10 references, and one figure (with figure legend) or table.
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REPORTS are short contributions concerning administrative surveillance or other administrative activities. The articles can also spotlight recent research findings or policy issues related to a research field and should inform our interdisciplinary readership about exciting scientific developments in the author's area of expertise. The maximal length is 18,000 characters (including spaces, abstract, main text, references and figure legend). They should have a short pithy title, abstract of 100 words or less, no more than 15 references, and 1 or 2 figures (with figure legends) or tables.
EVENTS AND NEWS are various contributions that discuss meeting highlights or books. Maximal length is 10,000 characters (including space characters abstract, main text, references). They should have a short pithy title, a three-sentence abstract, no more than 5 references, and one figure (with figure legend) or table.
