Aims & Scope

Aims

Gastronomy (ISSN 2813-513X) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal on gastronomy and culinary arts. It mainly publishes reviews, research papers, and communications. Our aim is to publish papers exploring all aspects related to gastronomic sciences, including agro-bioscientific, technological, biomedical, ecological, cultural, and social perspectives. We welcome manuscripts on global food practices and their impacts on health, the environment, the economy, and culture. Full experimental details should be provided so that the results can be reproduced; there is therefore no restriction on the maximum length of papers. Electronic files presenting the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a standard text-based format, can be uploaded alongside the paper as supplementary material.
