Aim and Scope

Journal of Nutrients is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in nutrition science, food composition, nutrient metabolism, and human health. The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, reviews, short communications, case studies, and perspectives that contribute to understanding the role of nutrients in health promotion, disease prevention, and clinical nutrition practice.

The journal aims to disseminate innovative findings on nutrient requirements, dietary sources, nutritional interventions, and nutrition-related health outcomes. It serves as a platform for researchers, clinicians, nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, and public health professionals to exchange scientific knowledge and address contemporary challenges in human nutrition.

The journal welcomes submissions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

1. Nutrient Science and Metabolism

  • Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats)

  • Micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and trace elements)

  • Essential nutrients and nutrient deficiencies

  • Nutrient metabolism, bioavailability, and absorption

  • Nutrient requirements and dietary recommendations

2. Food Sources of Nutrients

  • Plant-based nutrient sources and products

  • Animal-derived foods and nutrients

  • Marine foods and aquatic nutrient resources

  • Food composition and nutrient profiling

  • Novel and sustainable nutrient sources

3. Human Nutrition and Health

  • Human nutrition across the life cycle

  • Dietary patterns and nutritional assessment
