Submission Preparation Checklist

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
• Authors are required to submit their manuscripts anonymously, as the International Journal of Nutrology employs a double-blind review process. Please submit the title page containing author information separately from the manuscript. Furthermore, ensure that the manuscript text itself contains no author details or professional affiliations.
• The reference standard adopted in all articles is the Vancouver style. References should be cited in numerical order of appearance in the text and in brackets (without a superscript). Examples: [1,2] or [1-3], etc.
