International Journal of Food Studies

FOREWORD

This is the 3^rd issue (vol.2 | issue 1) of International Journal of Food Studies (IJFS), a journal of the ISEKI_Food Association.

The IJFS was recently included in the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) http://www.doaj.org, http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=openurl&genre=journal&issn=21821054, and in the directory LIVRE: http://livre.cnen.gov.br. The IJFS was also submitted to Google Schoolar (http://scholar.google.com/), and very soon all the journal papers will be automatically indexed and searchable. Google Schoolar provides citations and metrics about authors, papers and journals.

After publishing this 3^rd issue, the IJFS will be submitted to following platforms: Scopus, Web of Knowledge, and Journal of Citation Report. After acceptance by Web of Knowledge, it will take about 2 years to get the impact factor, since the Web of Science will be counting the number of citations in order to calculate the impact factor.

We wish you appreciate this 3^rd issue of the IJFS as much as the previous. Make the IJFS your mean of communicating your main achievements in the field of Food studies in Education, Research and Industry.
