Vivrtih Journal of Food Science and Clinical Nutrition

Vivrtih Journal of Food Science and Clinical Nutrition is driven by a vision to:

• Catalyse Innovation: We stimulate multidisciplinary research that converges insights from various scientific domains, thereby unveiling new strategies to tackle modern health and food challenges.
• Promote Excellence: We uphold rigorous peer-review standards to ensure that each published paper contributes robust, evidence-based knowledge.
• Encourage Collaboration: We connect researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and industry experts to foster dialogue and collaborative solutions that address global health issues from a nutrition perspective.
• Enhance Real-World Impact: We emphasise translational research that not only deepens theoretical understanding but also informs practice, policy-making, and community health initiatives.

The journal publishes various article types, including Original Articles, Reviews, Case Studies, Editorials, Protocol Papers, Short Reports, Mini Reviews, and Opinion Papers. We promote a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic fields of food, nutrition, and health sciences. Our interdisciplinary scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

• Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics
• Community Nutrition
• Consumer Behaviour and Food Marketing
• Epidemological Studies
• Experimental Nutrition
• Food chemistry
• Food Microbiology
• Food Nutrition
• Food Safety and Hygiene
• Food Technology
• Lifestyle Interventions
• Mental Health Nutrition
• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods
• Nutrient Metabolism
• Nutrigenomics
• Nutrition & Health Policy Research
• Nutrition Education & Communication
• Nutrition Science
• Nutritional Immunology
• Public Health Nutrition
• Sports Nutrition

Our commitment to transparent science means we also encourage studies that may be overlooked by others, such as, studies with small sample sizes (when convincingly justified), replication research, null findings (provided this is not due to methodological shortcomings), and studies conducted by students and young researchers because we believe that every valid investigation regardless of its size or outcome contributes valuable insights to the cumulative and transparent process of scientific inquiry, fostering innovation and rigor.

This does not mean that such studies will be acceptable "automatically" for Publication. The same scientific quality criteria will be applied as they are established by the journal and means that implications from small sample size, replicative character and lacking statistical "significance" will have to be appropriately discussed.
