About the journal
Food Safety is a
peer-reviewed open-access electronic online journal of English published
quarterly by the Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ). Since the first issue
was published in December of 2013, this journal has been regularly published on broad fields of
sciences on food-related risk assessments. The aim of the publication of Food Safety is to gather and
disseminate scientific and technological information in the field of food
safety on human health, and thereby facilitate the development of science and
technology for risk assessments of foods. The journal publishes original
articles, short communications, and reviews covering broad areas of food safety
related to the risk assessment of foods as well as risk assessments conducted
by FSCJ. The scope of Food Safety covers: (1) pathogenicity or
toxicity
of biological, physical, or chemical agents concerning food safety; (2)
occurrence of
biological,
physical, or chemical agents in the food chain with emphasis on food safety;
(3)
epidemiology
or control of food-borne illnesses; and (4) safety evaluation of novel
foods
including
nanomaterials, genetically modified organisms, etc. In addition to these areas,
papers
on the methodology of risk assessments concerning food safety are encouraged. We
are grateful to the contributors for supporting the publication of the journal,
which will advance the development of science and technology for food safety. This journal is assigned to Digital Object Identifier (DOI)-Cross Reference.

in March, June, September, and December of each year. This journal is assigned
to Digital Object Identifier (DOI)-Cross Reference. I greatly appreciate the
authors, reviewers, and editorial board members for their enthusiastic and
continued support for the publication. All the peer-reviewed articles in this
five-year period have been submitted from Europe and the USA as well as Japan
in line with our international journal policy. We look forward to receiving
manuscripts within the scope of this journal from all around the world.
Manuscripts presented at symposium or congress meetings are welcome to be
published as original or review articles. The future success of our journal
depends on authors of peer-reviewed articles. We are particularly grateful to
the contributors for supporting the publication of the journal, which will
advance the development of science and technology for food safety.
