The scientific journal 'Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos'internationalizes its name to Food Science and Technology

Abstract

The scientific journal 'Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos' internationalizes its name to Food Science and Technology Current year 2013 is evidencing several changes in our scientific journal. The first has been the change of its title from 'Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos' to Food Science and Technology. We are convinced that this change will internationalize further our journal since the title in English will be noticed by researchers worldwide. In fact, our aim is to make the journal accessible to all the scientific community involved in Food Science and Technology from all parts of the world. We may share the benefits of this science which is so useful to humanity. Another change occurs in Instruction for Authors, which will make publication of articles faster within the context of the journal´s internationalization. Food Science and Technology will be exclusively in English and there will be no need for title and abstract in Portuguese when submitting an article. Other alterations will comprise the Paper structure, Reviewing the manuscript structure and Information provided, which will be the author´s responsibility. Original manuscripts should not exceed 16 pages (excluding the references). Further, quotes within the text will be given differently. References should be cited in numerical order according to their order of appearance within the text corresponding to a list of references at the end. They should be numbered consecutively ensuring that the numbered citations will not start again on each page. References in the articles should be listed according to the Vancouver Norms. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/?amp=&depth=2). However, papers which are still to be published or in review should not be included in the references. The names of all authors should be listed and the 'et al.' will not be required any more. According to the SBCTA's Editorial Board, accepted papers which do not follow the standard references style or provide incomplete information WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED until the references comply with norms. Although Food Science and Technology receives funding from the Brazilian foundations CNPq-CAPES and FAPESP, funds are insufficient to cover total publication costs. As from June 2013 the journal Food Science and Technology (Campinas) will publish an article accepted for publication according to rates below: USD 220.00-non-members of SBCTA; USD 200.00-at least one author should be an SBCTA member and should have paid his/her annual membership fee to be eligible for the discount; USD 180.00-at least two authors should be SBCTA members and should have paid their annual membership fee to be eligible for the discount; USD 160.00-three authors should be SBCTA members and should have paid their annual membership fee to be eligible for the discount; USD 140.00-at least four authors should be SBCTA members and should have paid their annual membership fee to be eligible for the discount. Contributing authors should convert the commercial dollar rate of the date of deposit into Brazilian real....
