Guide for Authors
PURPOSE AND AIMS
Motivation for Global Food Security arose from concern about the difficulty for scientists and policy makers to keep up with the expanding volume of information published about the challenge of ensuring food systems are meeting human food and nutritional requirements while protecting the environment, securing livelihoods, mitigating against climate change, and ensuring equity.
Global Food Security aims to publish papers that contribute to better understanding of economic, social, biophysical, technological, and institutional drivers of current and future global food security, nutrition and food systems. It aims to stimulate debate that is rooted in strong science, has strong interdisciplinary connections, and recognizes trade-offs that often occur as a result of reconciling competing objectives and outcomes that may differ depending on spatial and temporal scale.
While integration across academic disciplines is encouraged, papers on components of Global Food Security will also be considered if they address important constraints and have a broad inference space. The goal is to publish concise and timely reviews and synthesis articles about research on following elements of food security and food systems:
Food availability (sufficient quantity and quality);
Food access (economic and physical access, functioning markets and food environments);
Food safety, nutrition and sanitation;
Stability, environment and climate change (resilience and ecosystem services).
The type of articles the Journal publishes is:
Strategic views of experts from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives on prospects for ensuring food security and nutrition, based on the best available science, in a clear and readable form for a wide audience, bridging the gap between biological, social and environmental sciences.
Reviews, opinions and debates that synthesize, extend and critique research approaches and findings from the rapidly growing body of original publications on global food security, nutrition and food systems.
Distinguishing features of Global Food Security content are:
issues that contain several papers that address specific, timely topics of importance to food security, nutrition and food systems;
authors who are recognized authorities in their field;
a focus on food security, nutrition and food systems challenges in an interdisciplinary manner and at national to global scales; and
a focus on challenging current paradigms, seeking to provide out-of-the box thinking on global issues.
Given this focus, Global Food Security is considered an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, students, professionals, policy makers and the international media.
If you have an idea for a review or a Special Issue please submit a short proposal describing the issues to be covered and the substance behind the analysis to the Editor-in-Chief, Jessica Fanzo at jfanzo1@jhu.edu.
TYPES OF ARTICLES
Review papers
(The majority of the papers published in this journal)
Addresses an issue related to agriculture, nutrition, or the environment of relevance to global food security, nutrition and/or food systems as defined on the journal web site.
Preferably multidisciplinary and relatively non-technical so it is does not require deep disciplinary knowledge to understand, but we strongly recommend that authors consider standardized, systematic approaches such as ROSES or PRISMA.
Not country specific although exceptions may be made for very large countries on issues that impact global food security and nutrition, or for a review of a country experience that is highly relevant to other countries.
5500 word limit.
Please choose Article Type "Review" in EM when submitting your article.
Original research
Addresses an issue related to agriculture, nutrition, or the environment of relevance to food security, nutrition and/or food systems as currently defined on the journal web site.
Preferably multidisciplinary and relatively non-technical so it is does not require deep disciplinary knowledge to understand (e.g., avoids complex econometrics or crop models).
Results that can be summarized in a few simple tables or figures. More detailed results may be included in supplementary materials.
Not country specific but covers multiple countries, a region, or the world. Papers on a large country that explores links to global food security may be considered.
5500 word limit.
Please choose Article Type FLA "Invited Research Article" in EM when submitting your article.
Perspectives
Addresses an emerging topic or debate on global food security, nutrition and/or food systems.
Various types:
Builds on a major body of work in which the author has been involved, such as an international panel report, conference, or a major study;
Questions conventional wisdom through an evidence-based approach; and
Outlines gaps in our knowledge and needed research.
Authored by a well-known authority on the subject.
Light and timely review, often by the Editors.
2500 word limit.
Please choose Article Type SSU "Perspective Article" in EM when submitting your article.
Special issues
Requires a proposal with a one-page rationale for the issue, the names and bios of the guest editors, and the authors, titles and abstracts of proposed papers.
Well-recognized guest editors with a good publication record.
Topic of importance to global food security, nutrition and/or food systems with global or regional coverage.
Papers may be reviews or original research as defined above.
Maximum of 12 published papers per issue.
5500 word limit per paper plus an overview of about 2500 words.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ethics in publishing
Please see our information on Ethics in publishing.
Declaration of competing interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors should create a declaration of competing interest statement using this tool and upload to the submission system at the Attach Files step. Note: Please do not convert the .docx template to another file type. Author signatures are not required.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Preprints
Please note that preprints can be shared anywhere at any time, in line with Elsevier's sharing policy. Sharing your preprints e.g. on a preprint server will not count as prior publication (see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information).
Changes to authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' (see more information on this). An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' form or a link to the online version of this agreement.
