JOURNAL OF CEREAL SCIENCE
Guide for Authors
The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
Notes
The Journal of Cereal Science exists to advance scientific concepts in cereal science, and the content of papers published within it must be consistent with this goal.
Manuscripts should not be purely descriptive or confirmatory in nature, but should be innovative, novel and offer new insights into cereal science research.
Manuscripts dealing with topics of only restricted, local interest will not be sent for review unless the information presented can be demonstrated to be of general applicability.
Manuscripts for which the application happens to be in relation to cereals, but for which the insights are predominantly in an unrelated area of science or technology, will generally not be considered.
Research areas include:
• Composition and Analysis of cereal grains in relation to quality in end use;
• Morphology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics of cereal grains relevant to functional and nutritional characteristics;
• Structure and Physicochemical properties of functionally and nutritionally important components of cereal grains such as polysaccharides, proteins, oils, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals;
• Functional, Nutritional and Safety aspects of cereal-based foods and beverages, Genetics and Functional genomics as they relate to end-use quality;
• Agronomy and Pathology of cereal crops if there is a substantive relationship to end use properties of cereal grains;
• Industrial products (e.g. starch and non-starch polysaccharide derivatives, protein concentrates, and isolates) from cereal grains, and their science;
• Storage of cereal grains and derivatives and effects on nutritional and functional quality.
Types of paper
Research papers:
The main activity of the Journal in fulfilling its mission is the publication of original and innovative research papers of a high scientific standard. These papers should: (a) report a specific identifiable advance in knowledge that has not been published elsewhere; (b) claim no more than can be substantiated by the results; (c) be logically consistent both within themselves and within the existing body of knowledge; (d) give enough information to allow the research to be tested and repeated by competent researchers elsewhere; and (e) give due reference to previously published work relevant to the research described. Papers must contain a maximum of 6000 words of text, no more than six tables or figures and up to 30 references. The second page of the manuscript should contain the Abstract only. The Abstract should be clear and concise with a maximum of 200 words. The text should then follow the sequence: Introduction, Experimental, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figure Captions and, finally, Figures. Please number the pages, and each section should also be numbered.
Critical reviews:
These should present critical appraisals of the current status and future directions of specific areas of topical interest. They are not intended as exhaustive, archival literature surveys over a broad front. They give balanced, objective assessments by giving due reference to relevant published work and not merely represent the prejudices of individual authors or summarize only work carried out by the authors or by those with whom the authors agree. They should also avoid undue speculation. They may contain a maximum of 10000 words of text and no more than 60 references. The number of references may only be exceeded with agreement of the Reviews Editor. The layout for reviews is fairly flexible. An Abstract of maximum 200 words should be included. The background should be contained in an Introduction and there should be a Conclusions section.
Short communications:
These are intended as vehicles for conveying news of advances in cereal science, the scientific importance of which merits preferential treatment or as a means of publishing the results of studies of limited size. Scientific importance and novelty of the information will be the key criteria in judging their acceptability.
The format for Short Communications is flexible. No Abstract is required, and there is no specification as to number of tables, figures or references. The paper should not be split into sections, although it should begin with a few sentences to introduce the subject area and to indicate the nature of the problem being examined. Likewise, at the end of the paper the conclusions drawn from the work should be summarised. Short Communications will be strictly limited to two printed pages in the journal (equivalent of approx. 2000 words) in total, i.e. including title, references, tables and figures, etc. Where figures or tables are used, the number of words must be reduced to compensate for these, giving due regard to the size of such tables and figures. Other details on preparation are as for conventional research papers. Review System
Papers are peer-reviewed by independent reviewers with appropriate expertise in the subject area of the paper. The review process is anonymous, although the reviewers' recommendations and comments are usually transmitted to the authors to help them in revising their manuscripts (which is almost invariably required). The Editors and reviewers attempt to make the review system as constructive and sympathetic as possible, although they must, at the same time, attempt to ensure that only papers of a high standard are published.
Resubmission of Revised Manuscripts
If a manuscript returned to the author for revision is not resubmitted within 6 weeks (making due allowance for postage times), it may on re-submission be deemed a new paper and the date of receipt altered accordingly.
