AJD Instruction for authors

    (Revised Dec 1st, 2023)

  1. Objective:
    Asian Journal of Dietetics (AJD) was approved at the council meeting of the Asian Federation of Dietetics Association (AFDA) during the 7th Asian Congress of Dietetics held in Hong Kong on July 9-11, 2018. The journal is an official AFDA publication. It will be a peer-reviewed international web journal published in English for dietitians.

    The studies conducted by dietitians are very broad, covering preventive and clinical dietetics, including case reports, food culture, food behavior, food preparation, nutritional epidemiology, medicine, psychology, sociology, economy, policy, science etc. Finding experts in these diverse fields is often challenging, making the publication process difficult. Given that publication is a crucial requirement for job security and promotion, we aim to establish a specialized journal for dietitians. The initial plan is to publish on a tri-monthly basis, with the potential to increase frequency to bi-monthly or monthly based on the volume of submissions.
