(Revised December 2025)
AIMS AND SCOPE
The aims of the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition (APJCN) are to publish high quality clinical nutrition relevant research findings which can build the capacity of clinical nutritionists in the region and enhance the practice of human nutrition and related disciplines for health promotion and disease prevention. APJCN will publish original research reports, reviews, short communications and case reports. News, book reviews and other items will also be included. The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated,manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers and the Editor. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any material for publication and advises that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts and correspondence as material cannot be returned. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board.
Short Communications about special group or region-al diets, nutrition and health It is the APJCN policy and approach to descriptive studies,which record and monitor special group, local or regional food habits, nutritional status and their health relevance, to provide a short communication option. Studies which may be considered would be well-designed and conducted, with a representative and adequate sample to allow for generalisability to the purported groups studied. Such publications need to satisfy the following criteria: (1)Brevity, with no more than 3 tables or figures to succinctly present foods, nutrients and health (not longer than 3 pages of the Journal including references) (2) Novel and not simply repetitive of what others have done, although documentation of adverse or favourable trends is encouraged (3) Problem-solving in approach.
Clinical trials
All manuscripts should provide the clinical trial registration number (state the reason if not applicable).
Systematic review and meta-analysis
Systematic reviews should be prospectively registered in either one of the following five registries: (1) PROSPERO, (2) the Registry of Systematic Reviews/Meta-Analyses in Research Registry, (3)INPLASY, which are specific to systematic reviews, and (4) the Open Science Framework Registries and (5) protocols.io.
*Registry number should be cited in Methods
**PRISMA checklist 2020 should be provided as a supplementary file
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
All articles submitted to the journal must comply with these instructions. Failure to do so will result in return of the manuscript and possible delay in publication. Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor or the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision. Authors are advised to have their manuscripts reviewed by a scientific colleague who is fluent in English so that the manuscripts will conform to English usage and grammar.
Attribution of Authorship
The editors and readership need reassurance that the scholarship required of a scientific paper in APJCN has been duly executed and recognized by the stated authorship.
Authors should have regard to the following steps and contributions ordinarily required to develop, execute and report a scientific project (specify in the Title page):
Conception and design
Doing the field, experimental, clinical, data collection or compilation work, provided there is also a scholarly input during the process Data analysis and interpretation
Preparation of draft manuscript, doing revisions or providing critique
Overall and/or sectional scientific management
If the contributions are of a more technical or secretarial nature than intellectual or scholarly, they can be acknowledged as a final footnote to the paper in the usual way. However, this note should be brief and represent significant input without which the work would not have materialized.
APJCN acknowledges only one corresponding author.
The corresponding author assumes contractual responsibility for all arrangements between the Journal and the authors while all authors remain collectively responsible for the scientific integrity of the paper. However, in certain circumstances where two corresponding authors are needed, kindly provide a written agreement between the two proposed corresponding authors which declares joint academic, legal and financial responsibility for any APJCN publication by them.
Authors must provide their affiliated email addresses when submitting their manuscript. Universal or generic email addresses (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail,163, 126, etc.) are not accepted.
