• March also saw us add 18 new titles to the live list of journals being monitored for relevant content for FSTA, after being carefully checked to ensure the journals’ quality, integrity, and relevance to FSTA. Most importantly, we use our 60-point checklist to identify and exclude journals with potentially predatory or unethical publishing practices.  
   
  These new journals have been sourced from China, the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Italy, and Spain. As well as general Food Science and Technology, some focus on topics such as  Plant Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Environment and Sustainability. Specific topics such as Gastroenterology, Mycology, Genomics, Beverages, Food Safety, and Microbiology are also represented. Data from these titles will flow into FSTA over the upcoming weeks.

We welcome new journal suggestions from publishers and researchers. If you would like to recommend a journal for indexing in FSTA, please submit it through our Recommend a Journal page. Our editorial team will assess whether the journal meets our criteria for inclusion in FSTA.
