A Food Science Journal is a type of peer-reviewed journal that experts in the food field use to share their latest research findings with other experts in the same field. The topics covered by Food Science Journals can include things like food safety, food processing, food chemistry, food engineering, and nutrition.
In this article, iLovePhD listed the top 10 Scopus-indexed food science journals based on the Scopus-cite score, which is a way of measuring how often other researchers cite a journal’s articles.
