Measurement: Food is a gold open-access journal launched by Elsevier in 2021 as a companion to Measurement, the journal of the International Measurement Confederation, and it publishes measurement science applied to food systems with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 6.3.《测量：食品》（Measurement: Food）由爱思唯尔于 2021 年创办，是国际测量联合会会刊《测量》的姊妹刊，发表应用于食品系统的测量科学，2025 年影响因子为 6.3。

Scope

• Innovative measurement techniques, methods, instrumentation, biomarkers and monitoring approaches for food safety, food quality and nutrition are the journal's core.面向食品安全、食品质量与营养的创新测量技术、方法、仪器、生物标志物与监测手段是本刊核心。
• Coverage includes contaminants, ingredients, allergens, food composition, authenticity and microbial quality, as well as food intake and nutrition epidemiology.覆盖范围包括污染物、配料、过敏原、食品组成、真实性与微生物质量，以及食品摄入与营养流行病学。
• Research on standardisation methods, reference materials, proficiency testing and intercomparison studies is explicitly welcomed.本刊明确欢迎标准化方法、标准物质、能力验证与实验室间比对研究。
• The role of metrology in food production, stabilisation, storage, handling, surveillance, trade and regulation is treated as a distinct field.计量学在食品生产、稳定化、贮藏、处理、监督、贸易与法规中的作用被视为独立领域。
• Nutrition studies that apply metrological principles, including methodological research on dietary and food intake data, are in scope.应用计量学原则的营养研究，包括膳食与食品摄入数据的方法学研究，均属收稿范围。
• Artificial intelligence applied to food development, production, quality analysis, safety assurance and personalised nutrition is expressly encouraged.本刊明确鼓励将人工智能应用于食品开发、生产、质量分析、安全保障与个性化营养的研究。
• Metrological approaches to food bioprocessing in bioreactors, including precise control of environmental conditions for process efficiency and product consistency, are covered.面向生物反应器中食品生物加工的计量学方法，包括为提升工艺效率与产品一致性而精确控制环境条件的研究，均在覆盖范围内。
• Studies of the characteristics, resilience, traceability and sustainability of food systems complete the scope, and papers must state measurement uncertainty and traceability.对食品系统特性、韧性、可追溯性与可持续性的研究构成本刊范围的其余部分，论文必须说明测量不确定度与溯源性。

History

• The journal was established in 2021, with its first volume appearing in June of that year, as a companion title to Measurement, the journal of the International Measurement Confederation.本刊于 2021 年创办，首卷于当年 6 月出版，是国际测量联合会会刊《测量》的姊妹刊。
• It was created because measurement science had become central to food safety, authenticity and nutrition research, yet lacked a dedicated high-quality venue.其创办背景是测量科学已成为食品安全、真实性与营养研究的核心，却缺少专门的高水平发表平台。
• The journal was launched as a fully open-access title, so all articles are immediately free to read and reuse under a Creative Commons licence.本刊以完全开放获取形式创办，所有文章即时免费阅读，并可按知识共享许可再利用。
• Its scope was designed around metrological rigour, requiring validated methods, calibrated equipment and explicit statements of uncertainty.其收稿范围围绕计量严谨性设计，要求使用经验证的方法与经校准的设备，并明确说明不确定度。
• The 2025 impact factor is 6.3, up sharply from 3.6 in 2024, reflecting the journal's rapid growth in visibility.2025 年影响因子为 6.3，较 2024 年的 3.6 大幅提升，反映出本刊关注度的快速增长。
• Articles are published continuously online, with quarterly volumes, and the journal is indexed in Web of Science and Scopus.文章在线连续出版，按季度成卷，本刊被 Web of Science 与 Scopus 收录。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Pasquale Filannino of the University of Bari in Italy, whose research covers microbial biotechnology, fermentation, functional foods and metabolomics.主编为意大利巴里大学的 Pasquale Filannino，其研究涵盖微生物生物技术、发酵、功能食品与代谢组学。
• Three senior editors, Mohammad Nadimi of the University of Manitoba, Jolanta Tomaszewska-Gras of Poznan University of Life Sciences and Michela Verni of Roma San Raffaele, support the editorial process.三位高级编辑协助编辑流程，分别为曼尼托巴大学（Mohammad Nadimi）、波兹南生命科学大学（Jolanta Tomaszewska-Gras）与罗马圣拉斐尔大学（Michela Verni）。
• The editorial board comprises 59 editors and board members from 27 countries and regions, with 70 per cent men and 30 per cent women according to publisher data.编委会由来自 27 个国家与地区的 59 位编辑与编委组成，据出版方数据，男性占 70%，女性占 30%。
• Associate editors are drawn from food science, analytical chemistry, metrology and nutrition across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.副编辑来自欧洲、亚洲、非洲与美洲的食品科学、分析化学、计量学与营养学领域。
• Manuscripts are submitted through Elsevier Editorial Manager, and papers lacking measurement-science content are rejected as out of scope.稿件通过爱思唯尔的 Editorial Manager 系统投稿，缺乏测量科学内容的论文将因超出范围而被拒稿。
• Authors are required to report the number of biological and technical replicates so that reviewers can judge the metrological quality of the work.作者须报告生物学重复与技术重复的数量，以便评审人判断工作的计量质量。
