Nutrition Reviews

Nutrition Reviews (commonly abbreviated as Nutr. Rev.) is a peer-reviewed journal published by Oxford University Press in partnership with the International Life Sciences Institute, issued monthly. Founded in 1942, it concentrates on publishing authoritative and critical literature reviews in nutrition science.《营养评论》（Nutrition Reviews，常用缩写为 Nutr. Rev.）是一份由国际生命科学学会（International Life Sciences Institute，简称 ILSI）主办、牛津大学出版社代为出版的同行评审学术期刊，月刊。该刊创刊于 1942 年，专注发表营养科学领域的权威批评性文献综述。

Scope

The journal's editorial stance restricts it to review as the sole article type, so that it publishes no original research and requires that submissions offer an authoritative, critical synthesis of a nutrition science question, addressed explicitly to nutrition scientists, biomedical researchers, clinical and dietetic practitioners and advanced students. This restriction makes the journal one of the benchmarks for review articles in nutrition. Its principal subject areas include:本刊的取稿立场是「以综述为唯一体裁」，即不发表原创研究论文，而要求来稿对某一营养科学议题作权威、批判性的综合评述，并明确面向营养科学家、生物医学研究者、临床与膳食从业者以及高年级学生。这一体裁限定使该刊成为营养学领域综述类文章的标杆刊物之一。收文覆盖的主要方向包括：

• Nutrition and chronic disease: the role of dietary factors in cardiometabolic disease, diabetes and the development of cancer.营养与慢性病： 膳食因素在心代谢疾病、糖尿病与癌症发生发展中的作用。
• Life-course nutrition: nutrient requirements and evidence for intervention in pregnancy, infancy, childhood and old age.生命周期营养： 孕产期、婴幼儿、老年等生命阶段的营养需求与干预证据。
• Food science and clinical nutrition: the function of food components, nutrition support therapy, and the synthesis of evidence for clinical nutrition practice.食品科学与临床营养： 食品组分功能、营养支持治疗与临床营养实践的证据综合。
• Nutrition policy: evidence-based appraisal of dietary guidelines, food policy and public nutrition intervention.营养政策： 膳食指南、食品政策与公共营养干预的循证评估。
• Review formats: scoping, narrative and systematic reviews, meta-analyses and umbrella reviews, together with commentary, correspondence and reports on emerging science.综述体裁： 范围综述、叙述性综述、系统综述、荟萃分析与伞状综述，以及评论、通信与新兴科学报道。

The journal is a hybrid title. The subscription route charges authors nothing, while open access carries an article processing charge. The publisher publishes neither an acceptance rate nor a review duration for this title, and the library's previous notes of moderate acceptance and a slow six to twelve weeks had no official basis and have been deleted. The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded and carries a 2025 impact factor of 6.3.该刊属混合出版模式：订阅路线不向作者收费，选择开放获取需支付文章处理费。出版方不公布该刊录用比例与审稿时长，库内原记录用率「中等」与审稿「较慢，6 至 12 周」均无官方依据，已删除。该刊被科学引文索引扩展版收录，2025 年影响因子 6.3。
