Instructions for Authors

【官网信息】

(Revised December 2025)

AIMS AND SCOPE

The

aims of the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition (APJCN) are to

publish high quality clinical nutrition relevant research findings which

can build the capacity of clinical nutritionists in the region and

enhance the practice of human nutrition and related disciplines for

health promotion and disease prevention. APJCN will publish original

research reports, reviews, short communications and case reports. News,

book reviews and other items will also be included. The acceptance

criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research

and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise

stated,manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers

and the Editor. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any

material for publication and advises that authors should retain copies

of submitted manuscripts and correspondence as material cannot be

returned. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board.

Short

Communications about special group or region-al diets, nutrition and

health It is the APJCN policy and approach to descriptive studies,which

record and monitor special group, local or regional food habits,

nutritional status and their health relevance, to provide a short

communication option. Studies which may be considered would be

well-designed and conducted, with a representative and adequate sample

to allow for generalisability to the purported groups studied. Such

publications need to satisfy the following criteria: (1)Brevity, with no

more than 3 tables or figures to succinctly present foods, nutrients

and health (not longer than 3 pages of the Journal including references)

(2) Novel and not simply repetitive of what others have done, although

documentation of adverse or favourable trends is encouraged (3)

Problem-solving in approach.

Clinical trials

All manuscripts should provide the clinical trial registration number (state the reason if not applicable).

Systematic review and meta-analysis

Systematic

reviews should be prospectively registered in either one of the

following five registries: (1) PROSPERO, (2) the Registry of Systematic

Reviews/Meta-Analyses in Research Registry, (3)INPLASY, which are

specific to systematic reviews, and (4) the Open Science Framework

Registries and (5) protocols.io.

*Registry number should be cited in Methods

**PRISMA checklist 2020 should be provided as a supplementary file

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

All

articles submitted to the journal must comply with these instructions.

Failure to do so will result in return of the manuscript and possible

delay in publication. Manuscripts should be written so that they are

intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the

particular field. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for

publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor or the

Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity

and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If

extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to

the author for revision. Authors are advised to have their manuscripts

reviewed by a scientific colleague who is fluent in English so that the

manuscripts will conform to English usage and grammar.

Attribution of Authorship

The

editors and readership need reassurance that the scholarship required

of a scientific paper in APJCN has been duly executed and recognized by

the stated authorship.

Authors

should have regard to the following steps and contributions ordinarily

required to develop, execute and report a scientific project (specify in

the Title page):

 Conception and design



Doing the field, experimental, clinical, data collection or compilation

work, provided there is also a scholarly input during the process Data

analysis and interpretation

 Preparation of draft manuscript, doing revisions or providing critique

 Overall and/or sectional scientific management

If

the contributions are of a more technical or secretarial nature than

intellectual or scholarly, they can be acknowledged as a final footnote

to the paper in the usual way. However, this note should be brief and

represent significant input without which the work would not have

materialized.

APJCN acknowledges only one corresponding author.

The

corresponding author assumes contractual responsibility for all

arrangements between the Journal and the authors while all authors

remain collectively responsible for the scientific integrity of the

paper. However, in certain circumstances where two corresponding authors

are needed, kindly provide a written agreement between the two proposed

corresponding authors which declares joint academic, legal and

financial responsibility for any APJCN publication by them.

Authors

must provide their affiliated email addresses when submitting their

manuscript. Universal or generic email addresses (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo,

Outlook, Hotmail,163, 126, etc.) are not accepted.
