# Journal Selector > Resolve a target food/nutrition journal to its author-guideline skill and formatting constraints. Use at the start of writing, formatting, or submission-prep for a food-science paper, and whenever the user names a journal they want to publish in or format their manuscript for, to load that journal's rules (word/abstract limits, structure, reference/citation style, figure spec).

Full authoritative mapping of all 60 journals: [`journals/_coverage.md`](../journals/_coverage.md). ## Behavior 1. **Determine the target journal.** If the author has already named a journal (full name or JCR abbreviation), resolve it. If not, **ask**: > "Which journal are you targeting? (name or JCR abbreviation — e.g. Food > Chemistry, LWT, Nature Food). If undecided, say 'generic' and I'll use > standard food-science conventions." 2. **Resolve** the journal to its skill folder using the alias table below (or `journals/_coverage.md`). Match case-insensitively on full name or abbreviation. 3. **Load** `journals//SKILL.md` and return its `## Formatting constraints` block plus the checklist. Note any per-journal override row in that skill's "Applies to" table (limits can differ within a publisher group). 4. **Hand off:** the calling pipeline applies these constraints to structure, word/abstract limits, and reference style, and passes `figure_dpi` / `column_widths_*` to the `food-figure` skill. 5. **If 'generic' or unresolved:** use standard food-science conventions (IMRaD; abstract ≤250 words; numbered or author–date references; figures ≥300 dpi; ~90/190 mm columns) and state the assumption so the author can correct it. ## Resolution table (journal / abbreviation → skill folder) - **nature-food** — Nature Food (NAT FOOD); npj Science of Food (NPJ SCI FOOD) - **food-chemistry** — Food Chemistry (FOOD CHEM) - **j-dairy-science** — Journal of Dairy Science (J DAIRY SCI) - **elsevier-food** — Trends in Food Science & Technology; Food Hydrocolloids; Food Hydrocolloids for Health; Food Packaging and Shelf Life; Global Food Security; Current Opinion in Food Science; Food Chemistry-X; Future Foods; Food Research International; Current Research in Food Science; Postharvest Biology and Technology; Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies; LWT; Food Control; Journal of Agriculture and Food Research; Applied Food Research; Meat Science; Food Policy; Food Bioscience; Food Structure; Journal of Food Engineering; International Journal of Food Microbiology; Food Quality and Preference; Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences; Food Microbiology; Journal of Food Composition and Analysis; Microbial Risk Analysis; Journal of Functional Foods; Journal of Cereal Science - **wiley-food** — Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety; Food Frontiers; eFood; Legume Science; Food and Energy Security; Molecular Nutrition & Food Research; Journal of Food Biochemistry; Food Science & Nutrition - **springer-food** — Food Engineering Reviews; Food and Bioprocess Technology; Food Security; Food Production Processing and Nutrition - **crit-rev-food** — Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition; Food Reviews International; International Journal of Food Properties - **foods-mdpi** — Foods; Antioxidants; Toxins - **food-function** — Food & Function; Sustainable Food Technology - **jafc** — Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry - **annu-rev-food** — Annual Review of Food Science and Technology (invited only) - **food-quality-safety** — Food Quality and Safety (Oxford) - **british-food-journal** — British Food Journal (structured abstract required) - **j-future-foods** — Journal of Future Foods; Food Science and Human Wellness - **qas-crops-foods** — Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods - **agri-food-security** — Agriculture & Food Security (BMC declarations block) ### Nutrition journals (Nutrition & Dietetics category) Grouped by publisher format, same as food.
