Trends in Food Science & Technology (trends-in-food-science-and-technology)
Journal positioning
Trends in Food Science & Technology is the Elsevier review and synthesis journal for food science and technology — critical reviews, trend analyses, and opinion that frame the state and direction of a field. Its defining expectation is critical synthesis, not new primary data: a comprehensive, evaluative account that integrates the existing literature, identifies what is settled and what is contested, and points to research gaps and emerging directions. A manuscript whose core contribution is original experimental results is the single largest desk-reject risk here, regardless of quality. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Trends in Food Science & Technology guidance.
