# Wiley Food Journals — Shared Author Guideline Skill

**Publisher:** Wiley · **Verified:** 2026-07 · Confirm each journal's Author Guidelines on Wiley Online Library (each journal's "Author Guidelines" tab). Structure below reflects the common Wiley template.

## Applies to
| Journal | Abbrev | Type focus | Ref style* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety | COMPR REV FOOD SCI F | Reviews only (invited/pre-proposed) | author–date |
| Food Frontiers | FOOD FRONTIERS | Reviews + research (open access) | author–date |
| eFood | EFOOD | Research + reviews (open access) | numbered |
| Legume Science | LEGUME SCI | Research (open access) | author–date |
| Food and Energy Security | FOOD ENERGY SECUR | Research (open access) | author–date |
| Molecular Nutrition & Food Research | MOL NUTR FOOD RES | Research; nutrition/molecular | author–date |
| Journal of Food Biochemistry | J FOOD BIOCHEM | Research | author–date |
| Food Science & Nutrition | FOOD SCI NUTR | Research (open access, broad) | author–date |

*Confirm at the journal's Author Guidelines; Wiley journals mostly use author–date (many APA-like), a few numbered.

## Common Wiley structure
Title page → Abstract → Keywords → Introduction → Materials and Methods → Results → Discussion (or Results and Discussion) → Conclusion → Acknowledgements → Conflict of Interest → Author Contributions → Data Availability Statement → References → Tables → Figure legends → Figures.

- **Abstract:** unstructured, typically ≤250 words (review journals may allow more).
- **Keywords:** typically 5–6.
- **Novelty/impact statement:** some journals (e.g., Food Frontiers) request a short novelty statement.

## Reference style
Most Wiley food journals use **author–date**; several are APA 7th-style. In-text `(Author & Author, 2023)`; alphabetical list.

Example (APA-style):
> Author, A. B., & Author, C. D. (2023). Title of the article. *Food Science & Nutrition*, 11(4), 1234–1245. https://doi.org/10.1002/fsn3.xxxxx

For `eFood` (numbered): in-text `[1]`, numbered list.

## Figures & tables
Figures ≥300 dpi (line art ≥600–1000 dpi); TIFF/EPS/PDF; RGB online; editable tables; cite in order. Wiley provides an EarlyView production workflow.

## Ethics & open access
Most listed titles are Gold open access (APC). Include ethics/consent statements for human/animal studies and an ORCID for the corresponding author.

## Submission checklist
- [ ] Correct reference style (author–date for most; numbered for eFood)
- [ ] Abstract ≤~250 words · [ ] 5–6 keywords · [ ] Novelty statement (if required)
- [ ] Conflict of interest + Author Contributions + Data Availability statements
- [ ] ORCID for corresponding author · [ ] Figures ≥300 dpi · [ ] Cover letter

## Also covers — Wiley nutrition journals
Same Wiley template (mostly author–date/APA); clinical titles add structured
abstracts, trial registration, and reporting guidelines.
