Current Developments in Nutrition Volume 5 Issue 1 to 12

Current Developments in Nutrition (CDN) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that is dedicated to publishing high-quality research articles, brief communications, reports on research methodology, commentaries, and reviews in the field of nutritional sciences. CDN serves as the official monthly publication of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and offers a platform for researchers to swiftly share and disseminate their cutting-edge research in the field of nutrition.

The journal covers a broad spectrum of topics in nutritional sciences and extends its focus from molecular and cellular research to whole-body metabolism, clinical health, fitness, and public health. It encompasses a wide range of subject areas, including, but not limited to:

• Animal nutrition (agricultural and companion animals and aquaculture)
• Bioactive food components and dietary supplements
• Community and global nutrition
• Eating behavior and qualitative assessments
• Food and agricultural sustainability
• Food and nutrition of Indigenous peoples
• Food composition, nutritional value, and toxicology
• Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics
• Geriatric nutrition
• Implementation science and intervention program methods and outcomes
• Maternal and pediatric nutrition
• Microbiome, metagenomics, metaproteomics, and xenometabolomics
• Nutritional biochemistry and physiologic mechanisms
• Nutritional epidemiology and public health
• Nutritional immunology and food allergies
• Nutritional requirements and status
• Nutrition and cognitive function
• Nutrition and exercise physiology
• Nutrition and intestinal physiology
• Nutrition education
• Nutrition in health and disease
• Processing, packaging, and storage effects on nutritional value
• Protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism
• Research methodology and study design
• Vitamins and minerals

CDN also emphasizes six areas of new and added emphasis:

1. Research Methodology and Study Design: Manuscripts in this category focus on new research tools, methodological approaches, and study designs, providing practical relevance to researchers. The method should be validated, applied to important biological or policy questions, and discussed in terms of its performance compared to existing approaches. Innovative methods for data collection, synthesis, analysis, and evaluation, as well as instruments for qualitative and quantitative research, are encouraged.
2. Implementation Science: Articles in this category report on process and impact evaluations of programs at scale. This may include smaller-scale interventions with potential implications for global nutrition and food security programs. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies are accepted, and program costing, cost-effectiveness studies, and innovative scaling-up frameworks based on empirical evidence are encouraged.
3. Food and Nutrition Policy: Manuscripts related to the connection between emerging nutrition science and the design and implementation of food and nutrition policies and programs are welcomed. Topics can focus on the impact of multi-sectoral policies and programs on diet and nutritional status, nutrition assistance programs, food security assessment in the context of sustainable development goals, strategies to improve the effects of agricultural policies on diet diversity and nutritional status, and more.
4. Brief Communications: These include two subtypes:
   • Research Reports: Concise descriptions of studies that are complete but limited in scope. These should have scientific rigor and may explore topics that require further research or share valuable information that doesn’t warrant a full-length article. Research reports follow standard research article format but are limited to 2000 words, including an unstructured abstract and a maximum of two figures or tables.
   • Case Study Reports: Concise reports of novel or unusual findings that have the potential to impact clinical practice or inspire new studies. These reports should be up to 1500 words and can include 1-2 figures/tables.
5. Food/Feed Composition, Nutritional Value & Toxicology: Manuscripts in this category report the chemical composition and nutritional value of human foods and animal feedstuffs. This includes essential and non-essential nutrients, as well as bioactive and anti-nutrient substances. Researchers should describe their sampling methods and include details of sample size and analytical replication. The use of standardized analytic methods is encouraged.
6. Food & Nutrition of Indigenous Peoples: CDN aims to publish scholarship from both academic and Indigenous perspectives on this topic. Manuscripts should address the connections among food, nutrition, and the well-being of Indigenous peoples, both in the US and globally. Research papers may include topics such as food security, access to traditional foods, nutritional composition of traditional foods, and social determinants of Indigenous nutritional health, among others. All research using tribal data must have approval from the appropriate tribal institution.

CDN provides a valuable platform for sharing and disseminating high-quality research in the field of nutrition. The journal is dedicated to promoting the rapid dissemination of knowledge and its application to various aspects of nutritional science and practice. It covers a wide range of topics and serves as a valuable resource for the nutrition research community. All articles undergo peer review and are made freely available to the global research community.
