We would like to inform that the International Food Research Journal (IFRJ) is now indexed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) with an impact factor of 0.662 (Q4 in 2018; ranked 118th of 135 journals under the ‘Food Science and Technology’ category).
Nevertheless, IFRJ will remain an ‘open access’ peer-reviewed journal, and as such, all published reviews and articles are freely available online in perpetuity upon publication through which the author(s) could attain wider readership.
However, in a continuous effort to disseminate the scientific findings more efficiently and to ensure quality and timely publication, all peer-reviewed reviews and articles accepted on and after January 1st, 2019 for publication in IFRJ will carry an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD$250 made payable either by the author(s), funder(s), institution(s) or employer(s) after peer-review and before publication.
The APC is fixed regardless of manuscript length and page number, and substantially covers the peer review, journal production, online archiving, and copy editing charges. Even so, IFRJ remains without Submission Fee.
IFRJ Editorial would like to extend our appreciation on the unwavering support we received all these years, and hope that you will continue to consider IFRJ as the instrument by which you could circulate your research findings far and wide. For any inquiries, please contact the Editorial at ifrj@upm.edu.my.
