F&N Bulletin Vol 23 No 1b - United Nations University

Note for contributors
The editors of the Food and Nutrition Bulletin welcome
contributions of relevance to its concerns (see the statement
of editorial policy on the inside of the front cover).
Submission of an article does not guarantee publication—which
depends on the judgement of the editors and
reviewers as to its relevance and quality. All potentially
acceptable manuscripts are peer-reviewed. Contributors
should examine recent issues of the Bulletin for content
and style.
Language. Contributions should be in English.
Format. Manuscripts should be typed or printed on a
word processor, double-spaced, and with ample margins.
Only an original typed copy or a photocopy of equivalent
quality should be submitted; photocopies on thin or shiny
paper are not acceptable.
When the manuscript has been prepared on a word
processor, a diskette should be included with the manuscript,
with an indication of the disk format and the
word-processing program used. To the extent possible,
manuscripts should be submitted electronically.
Length. Ordinarily contributions should not exceed
4,000 words.
Abstract. An abstract of not more than 150 words should
be included with the manuscript, stating the purposes
of the study or investigation, basic procedures (study
subjects or experimental animals and observational and
analytical methods), main findings (give specific data and
their statistical significance if possible), and the principal
conclusions. Emphasize new and important aspects of the
study or observations. Do not include any information that
is not given in the body of the article. Do not cite references
or use abbreviations or acronyms in the abstract.
Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should be on
separate pages. Tables should be typed or printed out
double-spaced. Submit only original figures, original line
drawings in India ink, or glossy photographs. Labels on
the figures should be typed or professionally lettered or
printed, not handwritten.
Photographs. Ideally photographic materials should be
submitted in the form of black and white negatives or
black and white glossy prints. Photographs will not be
returned unless a specific request is made.
Units of measurement. Preferably all measurements
should be expressed in metric units. If other units are
used, their metric equivalents should be indicated.
Abbreviations. Please explain any abbreviations used
unless they are immediately obvious.
References. References should be listed at the end of the
article, also double-spaced. Unpublished papers should
not be listed in references, nor should papers submitted
for publication but not yet accepted.
Number references consecutively in the order in which
they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in
the text and in tables and figure legends by arabic numerals
enclosed in square brackets. References cited only in tables
or figure legends should be numbered in accordance with
the first mention of the relevant table or figure in the text.
Be sure references are complete.
Reference citations should follow the format illustrated
below.
