Instructions for Authors
Editorial Policy
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before ; that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as - tacitly or explicitly - by the responsible authorities at the institution where the work was carried out. The author warrants that his/her contribution is original and that he/she has full power to make this grant. All the manuscripts to Food Science and Biotechnology should adhere to these regulations. Manuscripts submitted to the journal must represent reports of original research, and the original data must be available for review by the editor if necessary. By submission of a manuscript to the journal, the authors guarantee that they have the authority to publish the work and that the manuscript, or one with substantially the same content, was not published previously, is not being considered or published elsewhere.
Research Ethics
All the manuscripts should be prepared under strict observation of research. When citing from published scholarly literature, author try to do so accurately, and unless the material is of common knowledge, author must cite the source for the data clearly. Information acquired through personal contact should be cited only after obtaining permission from the informant. In the revision process, author must respond to reviewer's comments and either alters your manuscript as requested or state clearly why you consider the suggestion inappropriate. Unfair research activities refer to fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, including inappropriate authors, in the process of proposing, performing, and publishing the research. Details as follows; "Fabrication" refers to making or producing a fraudulent data or experiment results that do not exist. "Falsification" is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing, or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. "Plagiarism" is appropriating and using as one's own another person's documented ideas, processes, results, or words without proper acknowledgement or giving appropriate credit. Inappropriate authors mean to include an individual's name as author who has not contributed significantly to either the research or contents of a paper as a token of gratitude or for reason of honorable treatment, etc. or to not grant authorship to a person who has academically contributed to research contents or results, without right reason. Also deliberate interference in procedure for the investigation of misconduct in research and deviation from commonly accepted practices within the scientific community are included in unfair research activities.
FSB will assist with the detection of "Plagiarism” by using iThenticate before review process. The manuscript with high similarity to other publications will be rejected without review. It is highly recommended that the authors pursue individual "Plagiarism” check and attach the similarity report, before manuscript submission, by using a specific program provided by their own institutes or a free text similarity service such as CrossCheck, Chimpsky, CitePlag, CopyTracker, eTBLAST, Plagium, SeeSources, and The Plagiarism Checker. In preparation of a manuscript, the following information should be included, if necessary, in where appropriate prior to submission. If any unethical irregularities in FSB contents have been found or noticed, further necessary actions will be conducted by the Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) based on the policy of the committee.
Statement of Human and Animal Rights
When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 and 2008. Any study reporting experiments on animals including human must indicate approval by a responsible institutional review board (IRB). If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should be asked to indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
- For studies with animals include the following sentence: 'All institutional and national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals were followed.'
- For articles that do not contain studies with human or animal subjects performed by any of the authors. While it is not absolutely necessary, we recommend to include the following sentence, just to make sure that readers are aware that there are no ethical issues with human or animal subjects:
‘This article does not contain any studies with human or animal subjects performed by the any of the authors.'
