This article was originally published in The Tan Sheet
Executive Summary
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition announces submission and review guidelines for studies involving dietary supplements. Manuscripts will undergo initial review by at least two editorial board members, who will advise AJCN's editor on suitability for full peer review by evaluating scientific excellence, comprehensiveness and relevance to the field of clinical nutrition. Papers regarding the clinical use of supplements in the context of diet or a diet-related disease will be viewed as appropriate. Review papers on supplements or nutraceuticals will be eligible for peer review and potential publication "if they are found to be both comprehensive and balanced, to deal with all issues of biological and clinical efficacy and safety, and to be of significance to the field of clinical nutrition"
