Taylor & Francis Food Journals — Shared Author Guideline Skill

Publisher: Taylor & Francis · Verified: 2026-07 · Confirm each journal's "Instructions for authors" on tandfonline.com. Structure below reflects the common T&F template.

Applies to

| Journal | Abbrev | Type focus | Ref style* | |---|---|---|---| | Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition | CRIT REV FOOD SCI | Reviews only (comprehensive) | author–date (APA-style) | | Food Reviews International | FOOD REV INT | Reviews | author–date | | International Journal of Food Properties | INT J FOOD PROP | Research (open access) | author–date |

*T&F assigns a named reference style per journal; these food titles use an author–date style (APA-like). Confirm at the journal's "Instructions for authors".

Common T&F structure

Title page (with author bios/ORCID) → Abstract → Keywords → Introduction → (Methods) → main body with headings → Conclusion → Disclosure statement → Funding → Data availability → References → Tables → Figure captions → Figures. Review journals: organize by thematic headings rather than IMRaD.

• Abstract: unstructured, typically ≤250 words.
• Keywords: 5–7.
• Word length: review articles are long-form; confirm any cap at the journal (CRFSN reviews are typically comprehensive, often 8,000–12,000 words).

Reference style

Author–date (APA-style, T&F variant). In-text (Author & Author, 2023); alphabetical reference list.

Example (APA-style): > Author, A. B., & Author, C. D. (2023). Title of the article. Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 63(10), 1234–1250. https://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2023.xxxxxxx

Figures & tables

Figures ≥300 dpi (line art ≥600 dpi); TIFF/EPS/PDF/PNG; color figures free online; editable tables; cite in order. T&F offers a LaTeX/Word template (Interact style).

Submission checklist

• [ ] Author–date (APA-style) references · [ ] Abstract ≤~250 words · [ ] 5–7 keywords
• [ ] Disclosure (competing interests) + Funding + Data availability statements
• [ ] ORCID for authors · [ ] Figures ≥300 dpi · [ ] Cover letter (for reviews: scope + why comprehensive/timely)
