Types of Manuscripts :

Review Articles

Narrative and systematic review articles may be solicited by the editors, but unsolicited reviews will be considered for publication. If you have a concern about whether your topic fits within the scope of the journal, please contact the editor, Dr. Katherine Tucker, at katherine_tucker@uml.edu with information on the review topic and the expected length of the manuscript. All review articles undergo the same peer-review and editorial process as original research reports. These reviews generally provide a recent rather than historical review of the subject matter. Authors interested in publishing more extensive reviews should contact the editor before submitting the manuscript.

Perspectives

AN is now accepting “Perspectives” articles, which allow an author or set of authors to take a position on a topic of current major importance or controversy in the field of nutrition. Perspectives should be written within the context of an informed consideration of the state of the art of the topic. Views should be defended with published literature to the extent possible and should acknowledge alternative points of view.

Letters to the Editor

Letters to the Editor may be submitted to the Editor of AN via the  online submission site. Letters are expected to provide substantive comments on papers published in AN in the six months prior to the time a letter is submitted, or other subjects that are of broad interest to the nutrition research community. AN does not permit unpublished data to be published in a letter to the editor. Both the letter and a reply, if appropriate, are published together whenever possible. Letters, including up to 10 references, are limited to one published page and will be reviewed prior to acceptance.
