英文摘要 |
It has been 15 years since the first issue of Journal of Food and Drug Analysis (JFDA) was published in January 1993. During the past 15 years, JFDA has encountered many challenges and has overcome many difficulties to achieve this milestone. These challenges included language barriers, manpower shortage and budget constraint. We wish to thank all the editorial board members, reviewers and authors for their kind support and contribution to JFDA. This report will review the current status of JFDA, analyze critical data, assess challenges ahead and present our future directions. So far, 60 issues and 657 articles have been published to date, including 70 review papers, 575 research papers and 12 short notes (Figure 1). All JFDA articles are thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by our designated scholars and reputable researchers in the field, followed by our executive editors. Their hard work ensures timely publication of this journal and maintains high quality of the published papers. Once the paper is accepted based on its scientific merit, it is sent to our English advisors to have a final check of grammatical and syntactic errors before publication. In the last 15 years, almost 1000 papers were submitted and reviewed. We made sure each one was handled properly and efficiently for the timely publication of quality papers. The policy of JFDA is to ensure that scientifically sound papers with high merit get published quickly. With the cooperation of our reviewers and authors, this goal can be achieved to provide good service to all our readers and stakeholders. |
