Letters in Food Research is an Open Access companion journal to Food Research that publishes peer-reviewed research articles and minireview that merit rapid publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and contribution spanning the research issues and trends shaping agri-food sciences. Letters in Food Research is also indexed in Google Scholar.
​
We welcome research letters of well-designed studies containing robust datasets and insightful analysis describing cross-disciplinary research or addressing emerging scientific, policy, and economic issues, replication studies, niche interest or showing negative results. The editors do not exclude papers based on subjective views of their potential impact and make every effort to ensure rapid and fair reviews resulting in timely publication of accepted manuscripts.
