Requirements for complete, ethical and review-ready culinary and gastronomy manuscripts.
Choose peer-reviewed scientific research only for work with a defined question, method, results and reproducible scholarly argument. Practice commentary belongs in the professional-article class and is labelled as non-peer-reviewed.
Research manuscripts should include title, structured abstract, keywords, introduction, methods, results, discussion, limitations, conclusion and complete references. Tables and figures must be cited consistently.
Submit original work that is not under consideration elsewhere. Every listed author must have made an accountable contribution and approved the submitted version.
State the applicable ethics review, informed consent, food-safety safeguards and participant protections. If formal review was not required, explain the basis accurately.
Use traceable sources, preserve underlying data where lawful, describe methods sufficiently for assessment and never fabricate citations, approvals, identifiers or results.
Disclose financial and non-financial relationships, institutional interests and all funding or explicitly state that none exist.
Initial submission may use Arabic, English or French. Accepted records require aligned publication content in all three journal languages. Upload PDF, DOC or DOCX up to 25 MB.
Provide a structured abstract of 200–300 words and four to eight precise keywords. Research manuscripts should normally contain 3,000–8,000 words, excluding references, tables and appendices; justify necessary exceptions in the cover note.
Use APA 7th edition consistently unless the editors approve a discipline-specific alternative. Include DOI links or other persistent identifiers when available, and verify every citation against its source.
Remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgements and identifying file metadata from the review manuscript. Supply author identities and correspondence details separately through the protected submission fields.
Number every table and figure, provide self-contained captions and accessible alternative text, cite each item in sequence and document permission for third-party material. Publication images should be clear and normally at least 300 dpi.
Include a data-availability statement. Deposit supporting data, code or protocols in a trustworthy repository when lawful and ethical, or explain the privacy, consent, legal or commercial restriction that prevents access.
Generative AI tools cannot qualify as authors. Disclose any substantive use in writing, analysis, translation or image production, identify the tool and purpose, and accept full human responsibility for accuracy, originality, confidentiality and citations.
Submissions may be screened for plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated data, manipulated images and unreliable citations. Material misconduct may lead to rejection, correction, retraction and a permanent auditable editorial record.
Initial completeness screening normally begins within 10 working days and external review is normally targeted within 30 days after reviewer assignment. These are service targets, not acceptance guarantees; authors should use the private tracking portal and official journal email.
Do not enter personal data or verification tokens. Answers use approved public content.
