Join the editorial board
Handle manuscripts in your area of nutrition science, guide independent peer review, and put your name to decisions that shape the field.
What editing for IJN involves
The same standard applies to everyone who shapes the journal — rigour, transparency and research ethics first.
Assess fit and rigour
Screen submissions in your specialty for scope, methodology and research ethics before and during review.
Run the review
Select and invite qualified, conflict-free reviewers and manage Single-blind (double-blind on request) peer review.
Decide, and sign it
Make clear, evidence-based recommendations; every decision is signed by a named editor.
Uphold integrity
Work to COPE standards, manage conflicts of interest, and recuse where appropriate.
Recognition that counts
An honest account of the value — academic recognition and access, not payment.
Named recognition
A listed seat on the editorial board with your own profile page on the journal.
Standing in your field
A visible editorial role in the human-nutrition literature, citable in your record of service.
At the frontier
Early sight of new research and a hand in what the field publishes.
Review recognition
Editorial and review activity can be recognised via your ORCID record.
How we appoint
Appointments are by invitation or vetted application — never open self-registration. We review every applicant's publication record, subject expertise and standing before appointing, so the board stays genuinely matched to the journal's scope.
- A current CV and your ORCID iD
- Your specific areas of expertise within human nutrition
- A note on relevant editorial or review experience
