GUIDELINES

Guidelines for Handling and Drafting the Proceedings of the Nuts2022 in the Journal Nutrients 

Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/special_issues/NUTS_2022   

A special issue of Nutrients (ISSN 2072-6643). This special issue belongs to the section "Nutritional Epidemiology".  

Please, beware of the “Instructions for Authors” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/instructions). Briefly, use the Microsoft Word template (click to download it). Note that Nutrients has no restrictions on the length of manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive. 

Considerations 

1.    One manuscript should be written for each NUTS2022 topic/session (10 in total).  

2.    Expenses for publication will be fully covered by the NUTS2022 budget.  

3.    One speaker of each session will be in charge of contacting the other speakers and define/reach consensus for a tentative index for each manuscript.  

a.    NUTS2022 will facilitate the contact information of the speakers to the moderators ahead of time.  

b.    As soon as the preliminary index is drafted, it will be notified to the Editors via e-mail: editors.nuts2022@gmail.com (deadline July 31, 2022).  

4.    The Speakers and Moderators of a specific topic will establish manuscript authorship according to the amount of work spent in drafting by his/her collaborators. Please note that, in case there is no consensus, the Editors will take part in the decision.  

a.    First authorship may be shared.  

b.    Up to two corresponding authors can be included and the last author will be the senior one if appropriate.  

c.    Other co-authors may be invited to participate up to a total number of 8-10 authors for each manuscript.  

Remember that the aim of the manuscripts is to summarize the latest evidence on the salutary effects of nuts, but also to define new topics, needs and opportunities in nut research for the future.  

Deadline for manuscript submissions to the journal is January 30, 2023. Therefore, manuscripts should be sent to the Editors (editors.nuts2022@gmail.com) no later than November 1, 2022 for revision prior submission to the journal.  

If a NUTS2022 speaker or moderator plans to submit to this Special Issue of Nutrients an original article, please first notify the Editors.
