  • Food science

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Nutrition Bulletin aims to foster the development of research in Environmental health, Marketing, Food choice, Public health and Context (language use). The journal focuses on Environmental health but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Post partum, Nutrition knowledge, Metabolic syndrome, Impact factor and Healthy food. While the journal focused on Marketing, it was also able to explore topics like Agriculture, Diet quality, Public engagement, Nutrient density and Choice architecture.

Topics in Food choice explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Mental health, Legislature, Food industry and Diversity (business). The journal addresses concerns in Public health which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Nutrition Education, Food standards, Infant mortality and Thiamine. The research on Context (language use) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Glucose control, Starch, Resistant starch, Carbohydrate and Food processing.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • UK food and nutrition security during and after the COVID‐19 pandemic (3 citations)
  • Early versus late time‐restricted feeding in adults at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes: Is there an optimal time to eat for metabolic health? (3 citations)
  • Healthier and more sustainable diets: What changes are needed in high-income countries? (2 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 59.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.55% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.36% of all publications and 25.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Nursing in Nutrition

One field that complements the diverse spheres of nutritional research is nursing. Specializations like Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) play a pivotal role in the healthcare system with their patient-centric approach often complementing studies in Family Medicine and Pediatrics. Massachusetts, for instance, has seen a surge in LPN program applications, causing a higher interest in the loss and gain of nutrients in the body, their impact on health, and the role of ideal nutrition in disease prevention.

Contributing to nutritional research, LPNs measure, analyze, and interpret patients’ nutritional needs. Such trained professionals influence practices in gerontology and environmental health by understanding how nutrition intersects with these areas. They draw from their training in areas such as meal planning, nutritional counselling, and the science of food preparation. Many LPN professionals have contributed valuable insights to the field of Food Science on topics like obesity, public health, disease prevention, and healthcare education.

Much of the interaction between nursing and nutrition happens in academic and professional settings where interdisciplinary studies are encouraged. Some useful resources, such as online education platforms that offer LPN training, provide comprehensive, flexible, and accessible programs. For example, there's this highly-rated resource for online LPN programs in Massachusetts which has been helping aspiring practitioners gain the knowledge required to significantly contribute to the field of nutrition.

Through such collaborations and academic advancements, the expanded role of nursing in nutrition promises to facilitate the growth of the holistic health approach, which considers all factors affecting health, including nutrition.
