AUTHOR GUIDELINES
1. SUBMISSION
Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
New submissions should be made via the Research Exchange submission portal https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/JFS. Should your manuscript proceed to the revision stage, you will be directed to make your revisions via the same submission portal. You may check the status of your submission at anytime by logging on to submission.wiley.com and clicking the “My Submissions” button.

3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Original Papers – reports of new research findings or conceptual analyses that make a significant contribution to knowledge.
Book reviews related to the field of food microbiology and food safety are welcome.
Review papers – critical reviews of the literature, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Topics must receive editor approval prior to submission.
Short communications on exceptionally novel research of interest to the international food microbiology community will be considered.
Specific guidelines:
The Journal of Food Safety does not consider manuscripts consisting mainly of the following areas:
- Simple identification of a microorganism(s)
- Simple antibiotic resistance patterns of clinical isolates
- Simple sequence types of clinical isolates
- Clinical statistics
- Simple production and biotechnological application of natural or recombinant products
- Simple expression of a cloned gene(s) in a microbial host
- Antimicrobial activities of natural products without providing information with regard to defined mechanisms or application.
Please note that the journal no longer requires a practical applications section. This section should be removed on all future submissions. A graphical abstract should be submitted instead. More information can be found under the Preparing the Submission section.

4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION
Free Format Submission
The Journal of Food Safety now offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.
Before you submit, you will need:
Your manuscript: this can be a single file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files – whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers. If your manuscript is difficult to read, the editorial office may send it back to you for revision. Double spaced text is much easier for editors and reviewers to read and make notes and can help to expedite peer review. As a consideration, please upload manuscripts with text double spaced.
The title page of the manuscript, including statements relating to our ethics and integrity policies:
data availability statement
funding statement
conflict of interest disclosure
ethics approval statement
patient consent statement
permission to reproduce material from other sources
Your co-author details, including affiliation and email address. (Why is this important? We need to keep all co-authors informed of the outcome of the peer review process.)
An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Why is this important? Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)
