Advances in Nutrition (AN/Adv Nutr) publishes literature reviews focused on key findings and recent research in all areas of interest to nutritional scientists and biomedical researchers. This would include nutrition-related research efforts directed toward biochemical, molecular, and genetic studies utilizing experimental animal models, domestic animals and human subjects. The other major foci of the journal are in the clinical nutrition, epidemiology and public health and nutrition education. Review articles will focus on progress made during the past few years rather than research developments over a broad historical timeframe.

Agribusiness: An International Journal publishes research that improves our understanding of how food systems work, how they are evolving, and how public and/or private actions affect the performance of the global agro-industrial complex. The journal focuses on the application of economic analysis to the organization and performance of firms and markets in industrial food systems. Subject matter areas include supply and demand analysis, industrial organization analysis, price and trade analysis, marketing, finance, and public policy analysis. International, cross-country comparative, and within-country studies are welcome. To facilitate research the journal's Forum section, on an intermittent basis, offers commentary and reports on business policy issues.

Agricultural and Food Economics is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen.Agricultural and Food Economics (AFE) is an international peer-reviewed and open access journal published on behalf of the Italian Association of Agricultural Economics. AFE welcomes research articles from economists, scholars and researchers from all over the world to publish problem-oriented, high quality and refereed articles. AFE seeks clearly written articles from experts in the field, to promote insightful understanding of the current trends in the agri-food system. AFE publishes only original articles from a wide variety of economic perspectives that address current and relevant issues related to the agricultural and food system. Published articles focus on applied analysis, the discussion of innovative results, and relevant policy and managerial implications.Agricultural and Food Economics is sponsored by the SIDEA (Italian Society of Agricultural Economics) the most representative associations of agricultural economists in Italy. SIDEA's mission is to contribute to an efficient farm and agrifood sector promoting free, independent and original research in the field of agricultural economics.

Agriculture & Food Security is a peer-reviewed open access journal that addresses the challenge of global food security. It publishes articles within the field of food security research, with a particular focus on research that may inform more sustainable agriculture and food systems that better address local, regional, national and/or global food and nutritional insecurity. The journal considers cutting-edge contributions across the breadth of relevant academic disciplines, including agricultural, ecological, environmental, nutritional, and socio-economic sciences, public health and policy.The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:Agricultural and environmental sciences, including genetics and systems ecologyAnimal husbandry, fisheries science and plant scienceGlobal change, biodiversity, climatology and abiotic stressesFood technology and balancing agricultural outputs across food, feed, fibre and fuelEconomics, information sciences and decision theoryStrategies for the implementation of new policies and practicesPublic health in relation to the condition of food and nutritional securityThe pioneering advances in research reported in Agriculture & Food Security have far reaching implications both for the developing world and for sustainability in the developed world. The published articles are accessible not only to researchers, but are also of special interest to the wider community of farmers, development and public health workers, policy makers and the general public.

Science Editor: Linda F. Bisson, Department of Viticulture and Enology, University of California, DavisThe American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (AJEV), published quarterly, is the official journal of the American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) and is the premier journal in the English language dedicated to scientific research on winemaking and grapegrowing. AJEV publishes full-length research papers, literature reviews, research notes, and technical briefs on various aspects of enology and viticulture, including wine chemistry, sensory science, process engineering, wine quality assessments, microbiology, methods development, plant pathogenesis, diseases and pests of grape, rootstock and clonal evaluation, effect of field practices, and grape genetics and breeding. All papers are peer reviewed, and authorship of papers is not limited to members of ASEV. The science editor and a group of associate editors, who are drawn from academic and research institutions worldwide, guide the content of the Journal.AJEV was first published in 1950 as a single proceedings volume by the American Society of Enologists, founded by a group of University of California researchers and California winemakers, with further yearly proceedings published in 1951 to 1953. In 1954 the first issue of the American Journal of Enology was published, and in 1955 quarterly publication began. The Journal was renamed the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture in 1966. The Society was renamed the American Society for Enology and Viticulture in 1984. Each year a committee of ASEV members selects one enology and one viticulture paper for the "best paper" awards, which include $2000.00 US for the authors of each paper.

Comprehensive Analyses of the Animal and Food SciencesResearch papers in Animal Production Science (continuing Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture) focus on improving livestock and food production, and on the social and economic issues that influence primary producers. The journal is predominantly concerned with domesticated animals (beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, pigs, and poultry); however, contributions on horses and wild animals may be published where relevant.Animal Production Science publishes the highest quality original contributions dealing with:* animal breeding and genetics* animal nutrition and reproduction* livestock farming systems, sustainability and natural resource management* meat science and consumer acceptability* behaviour, health and welfare* feed quality and nutritional value* bio-pharmaceuticals derived from animalsCritical Reviews, Interdisciplinary Views and CommentsWith the new scope of Animal Production Science you´ll benefit from exposure to debate from subject specialists from a variety of disciplines, including:* genetic and reproductive biotechnologies for livestock improvement* animal behaviour, health and welfare* dairy science and technology* sustainable production systems* meat science and quality .

The Professional Animal Scientist (PAS) is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal and the official publication of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS). The purpose of ARPAS is to provide certification of professional status for qualified members of the society, to strengthen animal sciences among the professions, and to promote animal sciences and the work of animal scientists. Continual education is required of all certified professionals to keep abreast of rapidly changing technology in their fields.

In continuous publication since 1985, PAS is a leading outlet for animal science research. The journal welcomes novel manuscripts on applied technology, reviews on the use or application of research-based information on animal agriculture, commentaries on contemporary issues, case studies, and technical notes. Topics which will be considered for publication include (but are not limited to): feed science, farm animal management and production, dairy science, meat science, animal nutrition, reproduction, animal physiology and behavior, disease control and prevention, microbiology, agricultural economics, and environmental issues related to agriculture. Themed special issues may also be considered for publication.

PAS is indexed in Scopus, CABI, and AGRICOLA, and caters to a wide and comprehensive audience. The readers are typically university, extension, and government staff; members of professional societies and related organizations; producers, commodity organizations, and related food industries; researchers and students; and consultants and companies providing products and services.
