About

“Toros University Journal of Food, Nutrition and Gastronomy” (E-ISSN: 2979-9511) aims to contribute to the knowledge of science by publishing national and international scientific studies in the field of food, nutrition, dietetics, and gastronomy. Our journal is an open access, free of charge, international peer-reviewed e-journal.

“Toros University Journal of Food, Nutrition, and Gastronomy” which started to be published by 2022 is an academic journal that carries out an international double-blind reviewing process that accepts original research articles, review articles, technical notes, and book reviews published twice a year, in June and December. All manuscripts are evaluated by the editor or section editors, editorial board and reviewers. The language of the journal is English. Turkish manuscripts are also included.

Aim and Scope

“Toros University Journal of Food, Nutrition, and Gastronomy” includes disciplinary and interdisciplinary academic studies. The journal particularly regards scientific research in food science, food technology, food chemistry, food microbiology, food engineering, food quality control, nutrition&dietetics, food and beverage culture from ancient times to the present, new trends in gastronomy, gastronomy tourism and product development in gastronomy science.

Academic studies submitted to the journal must be original, filling a gap in the field, not previously published  (papers presented at national/international conferences can be accepted if the journal is informed and authors should provide that the article is developed) or not accepted for publication elsewhere.

Article Evaluation Policy

Articles sent to the journal in accordance with the publication rules are then checked for plagiarism. In Toros University Journal of Food, Nutrition and Gastronomy, plagiarism control is carried out through the package program iThenticate or Turnitin (it should be used in opinions, book chapters, etc., not in the articles), and the similarity rate should not exceed 20% in plagiarism control.

Article Correction Policy

The online, published version of an article is considered the final and complete version. Even though it is possible to correct this version, our policy (in common with other publishers) is not to do so, except in very rare circumstances.

The only typographical errors that can be corrected are: author names, affiliations, article titles, abstracts, and keywords. In such cases, an erratum or corrigendum would be necessary as well (see below) so that there is a record of the difference between the online and print versions.

We can publish a correction to your article if there is a serious error, for example with regard to scientific accuracy, or if your reputation or that of the journal would be affected. We do not publish corrections that do not affect the contribution in a material way or significantly impair the reader’s understanding of the contribution (such as a spelling mistake or a grammatical error).

Please send an email to jfng@toros.edu.tr in the event a correction is needed.

Errata

An erratum will be used if an important error has been found during the publication process of the journal article. Errors requiring an erratum include: an error that affects the publication record, the scientific integrity of the paper, the reputation of the authors or of the journal, and errors of omission.

Erratas are not published for typing errors except where an error is significant . A significant error in a figure or table is corrected by the publication of a newly- corrected figure or table as an erratum. The figure or table is republished only if the editor considers it necessary.

Corrigenda

A corrigendum is a notification of a significant error made by the authors of the article. All authors must sign a corrigenda that is submitted for publication.

In cases where co-authors disagree, the editors will take advice from independent peer-reviewers and impose the appropriate amendment; noting the dissenting author(s) in the text of the published version.

Addenda

An addendum is a notification of a peer-reviewed addition of information to a paper. An example is a response to a reader’s request for clarification. Addenda do not contradict the original publication. If the author inadvertently omits significant information, the information can be published as an addendum after peer review.

Addenda are published only rarely and only when the editors decide that the addendum is crucial to the reader’s understanding of a significant part of the published contribution.

Complaint Policy

Complaints are welcome as they provide an opportunity for improvement. Responses to complaints should be quick, helpful, and constructive. Please address complaints with a volume number, issue number, paper ID, paper title, and page number. Please send an email to jfng@toros.edu.tr for your complaint.
