# Annual Review of Food Science and Technology — Author Guideline Skill

**Publisher:** Annual Reviews · **ISSN:** 1941-1413 · **Source:** [Journal page](https://www.annualreviews.org/journal/food) · **Verified:** 2026-07 (confirm at source).

## Aims & scope
Authoritative, **invited** critical reviews across food science and technology: food chemistry, microbiology, engineering, safety, nutrition, and emerging technologies. Articles are commissioned by the Editorial Committee — unsolicited submissions are generally not accepted; propose topics to the editors first.

## Article type
Review articles only (comprehensive, synthesis-driven, forward-looking). Typical length is substantial (often ~8,000–10,000 words); confirm the assigned length with the production editor.

## Manuscript structure
Title → Authors & affiliations → Abstract → Keywords → Introduction → thematic sections with descriptive headings → Summary Points / Future Issues (Annual Reviews signature elements) → Disclosure Statement → Acknowledgments → Literature Cited. Provide "Summary Points" and "Future Issues" bullet lists.

- **Abstract:** ~150–250 words.
- **Keywords:** ~6–8.
- **Disclosure statement:** required (funding, affiliations, potential bias).

## Reference style
**Author–date (name–year), Annual Reviews style.** In-text `(Author & Author 2023)`; "Literature Cited" list alphabetical. Article titles included.

Example:
> Author AB, Author CD. 2023. Title of the review article. *Annu. Rev. Food Sci. Technol.* 14:123–45

## Figures & tables
Figures ≥300 dpi (line art higher); Annual Reviews uses professional redraw — supply clear, editable source files and permissions for any reused figures; RGB/CMYK per production; editable tables; cite in order.
