The Supplementary Material can be uploaded as Figures (.FIG) and 3D imaging data (NIfTI), Data Sheet (word, excel, csv, fasta, pdf or zip files), Presentation (power point, pdf or zip files), Audio (mp3, wav or wma) or Movie (avi, divx, flv, mov, mp4, mpeg, mpg or wmv).</p> </div> <h4 class="expand">Guidelines for Other article types</h4> <h5 class="expand">Review articles</h5> <div class="collapse"> <p>Articles that provide systematic, critical and constructive analyses of previously published material in a specific field, help in identifying research gaps and summarize the current understanding in the specific research field would be considered as review articles. The manuscript structure remains the same as mentioned for original full length research articles except that there would be a “review” / “body” instead of “results and discussion” section. The materials and methods section should contains for example the information about: selection criteria of studies, source of data/databases, search strategies, number of studies screened and included, statistical methods, softwares used, etc. The main content of the review article should focus on analyses of previously published methodological approaches, models tested, studies/theories that agree or disagree with each other etc. The text must be organized in chronological order and if applicable write each ideas/topics from different geographical location in separate paragraphs. It is important that the authors organize the different pieces on information logically justifying the objective of the review. The conclusions should answer the research questions mentioned in the introduction and gives a message that integrates the points discussed in the review which recommend new research areas. </p></div> <h5 class="expand">Clinical Trial Registration</h5> <div class="collapse"> In order for clinical trial results to be considered for publication in our journal (which adhere to ICMJE standards), all clinical trials that start recruiting patients or volunteers must be registered with a public registry before the enrolment of the first subject. This ensures that everyone can find key information about every clinical trial whose principal aim is to shape medical decision-making. </p> <p>The ICMJE accepts registration of clinical trials in the following registries: </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.anzctr.org.au" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.anzctr.org.au</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.clinicaltrials.gov</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ISRCTN.org" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.ISRCTN.org</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index/htm" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index/htm</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.trialregister.nl" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.trialregister.nl</a> </li> <li><a href="https://eudract.ema.europa.eu/" data-auth="NotApplicable">https://eudract.ema.europa.eu/</a> (new registrations after June 20, 2011)  </li> </ul> <p>In addition to the above registries, starting in June 2007 the ICMJE will also accept registration in any of the primary registries that participate in the WHO International Clinical Trials Portal (see <a href="http://www.who.int/ictrp/network/primary/en/index.html" data-auth="NotApplicable">http://www.who.int/ictrp/network/primary/en/index.html</a>). </p> </div> <h5 class="expand">Articles with novel technique</h5> <div class="collapse"> <p>Emerging technologies with implementation of new techniques in the processing, production, packing and engineering of food and food products has found ways for the potential to the food industry for enhancing product quality, quantity and extend shelf life of fresh and processed foods. Often these techniques do not have substantial peer-reviewed scientific data related to its basics for making a positive review and scientific conclusions. In order to make aware of such novel techniques with potential applications to the scientific community, it is appropriate for publication of articles with acceptable peer review.</p> <p>The advised format for publication includes abstract, introduction, description of the technique, discussion, and references. The technique should be advanced and provide a remarkable advantage in the basic and applied food research. Commercial bias must be avoided and should fully disclose all competing interests or supports. Authors are encouraged to include videos (legends should describe the video; preferably not more than 10 MB in .MPEG video-audio format), images, figures if required. The details of the manufacturer name and their contact should not be included in the video, instead be cited in the text.</p> </div> <h4 class="expand">Manuscript Rejection</h4> <div class="collapse"> <p>JFCN reserves the right to reject the manuscripts publication that do not meet the technical or ethical standards (COPE) according to the editorial policies and retract publications if any breach and/or misconduct of ethical standards, dispute of interests comes to light during post-publication peer review process.</p> <p>Authors are sole responsible for any scientific misconduct including plagiarism in their research article; publisher is not responsible for any scientific misconduct happened in any published research article.
