Metrics

Scimago quartile: —
Cites per paper (2y): 0.6
SJR: —
h-index: 59

“Cites per paper” is a two-year cited-by rate computed from OpenAlex. It is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric (how the two differ). Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline. What the other figures mean: journal quartile, SJR, h-index and article processing charge.

Frequently asked

Is Food and Nutrition Sciences a predatory journal?

Our screening flags Food and Nutrition Sciences as a possible predatory venue because its publisher appears on Beall's archive, which has been frozen since 2017. Treat this as a prompt to check carefully, not a verdict: verify against DOAJ and Think. Check. Submit before submitting.

Is Food and Nutrition Sciences indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Food and Nutrition Sciences appears in: PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Food and Nutrition Sciences?

Papers in Food and Nutrition Sciences are cited about 0.6 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 59. Those are the open equivalents: the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor is a proprietary metric we neither compute nor license, so we show the two-year citation rate and Scimago quartile instead — they answer the same question of how heavily the journal is cited. A citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.

Is Food and Nutrition Sciences open access?

Our index records its access status as "gold". Where this is derived from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic, so confirm on the journal's own site — particularly if an article processing charge matters to you.
