Resources for Librarians

Supporting library users in producing scholarly information

Our mission is to fundamentally understand and serve the information needs of the food community. We work hard to provide great materials and tools, and to save users time and effort.  

So in addition to our flagship database FSTA, we have developed some fantastic resources which we hope will help you support your library users in navigating the publishing process, from selecting a journal to journal metrics to understanding how to identify and avoid predatory journals.

Help faculty find the right journal for their article

Predatory journals are a growing area, and it can be challenging to identify legitimate journals for references and publishing. We have developed a solution to help, adding even more value to the library - the Journal Look Up Service.

The JLS help you support authors in finding the right journal for their research and avoiding predatory journals. This helps reduce the risk of wasted time and funding, and reputational damage. 

The JLS is based on FSTA's quality-checked coverage list, so you can be confident in the search results' quality, integrity and relevance to the sciences of food and health.
