Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (JAFC) — Author Guideline Skill

Publisher: American Chemical Society · ISSN: 0021-8561 · Source: ACS author guidelines (JAFC) · Verified: 2026-07 (confirm at source).

Aims & scope

Original research on the chemistry and biochemistry of agriculture and food: chemistry/biochemistry of foods and beverages, bioactive constituents, food safety/toxicology, analytical methods, agricultural chemistry, and nutrition chemistry. Emphasis on chemical rigor and food/agriculture relevance.

Article types

Article; Review; Perspective; New Analytical Methods (must show clear advance/validation); Letters to the Editor.

Manuscript structure (ACS)

Title → Authors & affiliations → Abstract → Keywords → Introduction → Materials and Methods → Results and Discussion → (Conclusions) → Author Information → Acknowledgments → Abbreviations → References. A TOC/abstract graphic is required.

Abstract: ≤200 words, single paragraph.
Keywords: ~6.
Word/length: confirm current page/word budget in the ACS guidelines; JAFC favors concise, data-dense papers.

Reference style

ACS style, numbered. In-text superscript or italic numbers per ACS; numbered reference list. Use the ACS journal-article format with article titles.

Example (ACS):

(1) Author, A. B.; Author, C. D. Title of the Article. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2023, 71 (10), 1234–1245. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jafc.3cxxxxx

Figures & tables

Figures ≥300 dpi (line art/combination higher); ACS figure widths (~~8.25 cm single, ~17.78 cm double); embed fonts (Arial/Helvetica); TOC graphic sized per ACS (~~8.5 × 4.75 cm); editable tables; cite in order. Follow ACS SI/units conventions and report method validation (LOD/LOQ, recovery) for analytical work.

Submission checklist

TOC/abstract graphic · [ ] Abstract ≤200 words · [ ] ~6 keywords
ACS numbered references with article titles + DOIs
Method validation reported (analytical papers) · [ ] Safety/ethics statements as applicable
Figures ≥300 dpi, ACS widths · [ ] Cover letter (novelty + food/ag relevance)
