Scope and Editorial Policy
|
The Brazilian Journal of Food Technology (BJFT) is an electronic rolling pass publication with free access, aimed at publishing articles based on results of original research and technological information that contribute significantly to knowledge related to food production and assessment in the areas of food science, technology, engineering and nutrition (not clinical). Manuscripts with national and/or international scope presenting new concepts or experimental approaches, and which are not merely repositories of scientific data, are accepted. The journal publishes original articles, review articles, and scientific notes. Manuscripts should be written in EnglishSubmission of a manuscript presupposes that the same content has not been published or is under analysis for publication in any other divulging vehicle. The Author(s) is responsible for the article’s content and will be required to provide retractions or corrections, if necessary. Manuscript submitted for publication in the BJFT is previously evaluated by an Editor and, depending on the general quality of the work, it may be rejected or returned to the Authors for adjustments or sent to two ad hoc Reviewers. The whole process is a blind review. The reviewers’ evaluations are sent to the Associate Editor, who qualifies the manuscript’s pertinence for publication. In case of discordance between the reviewers, other reviewers may be consulted. If the publication is possible, the reviewers and Associate Editor evaluations are sent to the Authors for them to verify the suggestions and carry out any pertinent modifications, which should be inserted in the text highlighted in a different color. There is no limit for the number of revisions, this is an interactive process and it depends on the agility of the Reviewers and the Editor in issuing their evaluations and on the Authors in returning the reviewed article. At the end of the process, the final decision is up to the Editor in Chief or Area Editor to approve or to reject the manuscript publication, subsided by the Associate Editor's recommendation and the reviewers’ evaluation. This peer review system is the self-regulatory mechanism adopted by the Journal to certify the credibility of the researches to be published. When the work presents research results involving the participation of human beings, in accordance to Brazilian Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council from Brazil, the project approval number by a Research Ethics Committee must be informed. Articles are published in order of approval, in the Journal’s online version at http://bjft.ital.sp.gov.br and at the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The Brazilian Journal of Food Technology makes use of the Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate) tool to assess plagiarism, contributing to the safety of published articles. The Journal is aligned with Open Science practices and supported by Institute of Food Technology (Ital), linked to the Agency for Agribusiness Technology, the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of São Paulo State. AUTHORSHIP Authors are considered those with effective intellectual and scientific contribution to the work, participating in its conception, execution, analysis, interpretation or writing of the results, approving its final content. Authorship also implies responsibility for all aspects of the work and a commitment to collaborate in the investigation and resolution of issues related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work. If there is interest from the authors, other collaborators who do not meet these requirements, such as suppliers of inputs and samples, those who helped to obtain resources and infrastructure and sponsors, should be mentioned in the acknowledgments section. The order of authorship must be a joint decision of the authors. For the journal, the corresponding author is the responsible for the work and must inform the contribution of each co-author to the development of the study according to the taxonomy CRediT. With regard to the authors, one expects that they attend the following minimal requirements:

Form and preparation of manuscripts
|
1. CONTENT AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENTS FOR PUBLICATION National and international manuscripts presenting new concepts or experimental approaches and not simply scientific data repositories will be accepted. Papers specifically contemplating analytical methodologies will be accepted as long as they are innovative or provide significant improvement to existing methods. “It is at the discretion of the Editors, depending on the subject relevance, the acceptance of works with test results of industrialized products without the information necessary to manufacture them.” Papers aimed essentially at commercial propaganda will not be accepted. Papers published in the BJFT are classified into these categories. 1.1.ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES: These are articles that report the methodology, the final results and the conclusions of original research, structured and documented such that they can be reproduced with margins of error equal or below the limits indicated by the author. The work should not have been previously published, except in the preliminary form as a scientific note or a congress abstract. 1.2. REVIEW ARTICLES: These are interrelated extracts from the available literature about a subject that fits into the scope of this journal and which contain conclusions about the available knowledge. They should preferably be based on literature published in the last five years. 1.3. SCIENTIFIC NOTES: These are partial reports of original research which, due to their relevance, justify prior publication. They should follow the same standard as a scientific article and could subsequently be published in the complete form as a Scientific Article. The manuscripts may be presented in English.
2. STYLE AND FORMATTING 2.1. FORMATTING.
- Microsoft WORD 2010 non-protected text editor or better. 2.2. UNITS OF MEASUREMENT: The International Unit System (SI) should be used and the temperature should be expressed in degrees Celsius. 2.3. TABLES & FIGURES: These must be numbered with Arabic numbers in the order they are mentioned in the text. Titles must be immediately above tables and immediately below figures, and must not contain units. Units must be between brackets in tables and figures. Tables must be inserted in the manuscript body soon after being mentioned. Photographs should be designated as figures. The location of tables and figures in the text should be identified. The TABLES should be edited using the resources of the WORD text editor available for this end, using only horizontal lines. They should be self-explanatory and easy to read and understand. Footnotes should be indicated by lowercase superscript letters. First demarcate the columns and then the lines and follow the same sequence for the footnotes. The FIGURES should preferably be used to highlight the more expressive results. They should not repeat information found in Tables. They should be presented so as to allow a clear visualization and interpretation of their content. The captions should be short, self-explanatory and with no edges. The Figures (graphs, photos, diagrams, etc.) should be in colour and in high definition (300 dpi), so as to be easily interpreted. Figures should be in the form of a JPG or TIF file. Should be sent (File upload) in individual files, separate from the main text, on submitting the manuscript. These individual files should be named according to the figure number. Example: Fig1.jpg, Fig2.tif etc. 2.4. EQUATIONS: The equations should appear in an editable form and only in the text, that is, they should not be presented as figures or sent in separate files. We recommend the use of MathType or Equation Editor of the MS Word type to present equations in the text. Do not mix the tools MathType or Equation Editor in the same equation or mix these resources to insert symbols. Also do not use MathType or Equation Editor to present simple variables in the manuscript text (e.g., a=b2+c2), Greek letters and symbols (e.g., α, _∞, ∆) or mathematical operations (e.g., x, ±, ≥). Whenever possible, when editing the manuscript text, use the tool “insert symbols”.. They should be cited in the text and numbered in increasing sequential order, in Arabic numerals between parentheses, close to the right hand margin. 2.5. ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS: When strictly necessary, abbreviations and acronyms should be defined the first time they are mentioned. Do not use non-standardized acronyms unless they appear more than 3 times in the text. Abbreviations and acronyms should not appear in the Title, nor, if possible, in the Abstract or Keywords. 2.6. NOMENCLATURE: Reagents and ingredients: preferably use the international nonproprietary name (INN), that is, the official generic name. Names of species: use the complete name of the genus and species, in italic, in the title (if present) and for the first mention in the manuscript. Subsequently, the first letter of the genus followed by the complete name of the species can be used.
3. STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE 3.1. COVER PAGE: title, running head, authors/affiliation (It should be submitted as Title Page). TITLE: This must be clear, accurate, concise and identify the main topic of the work. Try to use words usable for indexing and search. Avoid commercial names and abbreviations.

EVALUATION PROCESS Paper submitted for publication in the BJFT is previously evaluated by an Editor and, depending on the general quality of the work, it may be rejected or returned to the Authors for adjustments or sent to two ad hoc Reviewers. The whole process is a blind review. The reviewers’ evaluations are sent to the Associate Editor, who qualifies the manuscript’s pertinence for publication. In case of discordance between the reviewers, other reviewers may be consulted. If the publication is possible, the reviewers and Associate Editor evaluations are sent to the Authors for them to verify the suggestions and carry out any pertinent modifications, which should be inserted in the text highlighted in a different color (or highlighting). There is no limit for the number of revisions, this is an interactive process and it depends on the agility of the Reviewers and the Editor in issuing their evaluations and on the Authors in returning the reviewed article. At the end of the process, the final decision is up to the Editor in Chief or Area Editor to approve or to reject the manuscript publication, subsided by the Associate Editor's recommendation and the reviewers’ evaluation. This peer review system is the self-regulatory mechanism adopted by the Journal to certify the credibility of the researches to be published. When the study presents results of research involving the participation of human beings in Brazil, the number of the process that approved the project by an Ethics in Research Committee must be informed, in accordance with Resolution n° 466 of October 12th 2012, published in 2013 by the National Health Council of Brazil. The prior evaluation carried out by the Editors considers: Conformation with the scope and norms of the journal; Relevance of the study; Broadness of the focus; Adequacy and reproducibility of the methodology; Adequacy and recentness of the bibliography and Quality of the written word. The subsequent evaluation by the Reviewers and Editors/ Counsellors considers the originality, scientific quality, relevance, technical aspects of the manuscript including adequacy of the title and quality of the Resumo/Summary, Introduction, Methodology, Discussion and Conclusions, and the clarity and objectiveness of the text. |
Manuscript Submission

During submission, do not use the back button of the navigator. A cover letter for the manuscript should also be submitted online via ScholarOne, describing the hypothesis/ principal message of the study, what it presents which is unedited, the importance of its contribution to the area in which it fits and its adequacy for the Brazilian Journal of Food Technology. It is mandatory to include the ORCID of the corresponding author when sending the manuscript. It is recommended that you also include the ORCID of the other authors (ORCID: provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID ID) that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from all other researchers - https://orcid.org/). Publication fee Publication fee should be consulted on the Journal's website (http://bjft.ital.sp.gov.br/). The publication process will start after the payment of the publication fee, whose collection and payment instructions will be sent to the correspondent by Editora Cubo as soon as the manuscript is accepted. Authors' contributions The BJFT requires authorship and contribution declarations (Term of Responsibility) in the submission of articles to ensure adherence to processes and policies of authorship / contribution. The BJFT has adopted the methodology called Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to describe the individual contributions of each author to the work. The taxonomy of CRediT does not determine who qualifies as an author. Authorship is determined by the policy of this journal. The author who submits the manuscript is responsible for providing the contributions of all authors. All authors of the manuscript should have the opportunity to review and confirm the contributions attributed to them. Each author can be assigned several contributions and a certain contribution can be made by several authors. When several authors play the same role, the degree of contribution should be specified as "main," "equal," or "support."
The correspondence author must indicate sources of funding for the research project during the submission, indicating the name of the Agency in full, country, scholarship number and year. The authors are responsible for the veracity and accuracy of this data. |
