Oxford University Press (OUP), together with Zhejiang University Press (ZUP) in Hangzhou, China, has launched a new, peer reviewed open-access journal: Food Quality and Safety (FQS).
The editors-in-chief, Dr. Kunsong Chen (Zhejiang University) and Dr. Mondher Bouzayen (French National Institute for Agricultural Research) will ensure FQS offers an international and comprehensive overview of food production and nutrition, food processing technology, and food distribution and shelf life.
Kimi Zeng, senior consultant at OUP's Beijing office, added: "OUP aims to work with the highest quality China-based English journals, to help Chinese authors publish in international journals, and to disseminate the best scholarship to the widest possible audience. We are excited about this promising new journal, and OUP will provide a full publishing service to ensure a successful launch, including production, marketing, editorial and daily contact with the editors to develop the journal worldwide."
"With food quality and food safety being of paramount concern to consumers, the food producers need up-to-date and high-quality information to keep abreast of key issues in the area" states Kunsong Chen, one of the editors-in-chief. "The aim of the FQS is to provide a platform to deal with the quality and safety of foods for extensive study. I look forward to working with our editorial team, our reviewers and authors, and the Oxford University Press publication team to ensure the growth and success of FQS."
FQS will be published quarterly. FQS is initially waiving article processing charges and offers prompt peer review and rapid international dissemination. The journal is available here: https://academic.oup.com/fqs
