[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label="4. Peer-review/assessment procedure" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]

4. Peer-review/assessment procedure

Original research articles, case reports, and both narrative and systematic reviews may be submitted. All manuscripts in the "Peer Review" section undergo an initial editorial check for formal criteria (scope, completeness, disclosures regarding conflicts of interest and AI usage, and—where applicable—plagiarism screening) and are subsequently evaluated for scientific and methodological quality by independent experts (submission to the peer-review process). Contributions to the "Continuing Education" section undergo an extended review process that includes additional assessment by medical reviewers.

The review process is partially anonymized: reviewers are aware of the submitting authors' identities, whereas the reviewers remain anonymous to the authors. Contributions accepted for publication are published with their submission and acceptance dates. Guidelines adhere to the *Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals* (January 2026 update: www.icmje.org/recommendations/).

No editing or publication fee is charged. However, the publisher generally charges a translation fee if you do not translate your article yourself (see also point 7: English publication and our information on open access publication).

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label="5. Structure of the manuscripts" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]

5. Structure of the manuscripts

A) Peer Reviewed manuscripts

Full Paper

Size: Approx. 6-8 printed pages (24,000 up to 38,000 characters, including blank spaces, summary and keywords, tables, literature). Longer manuscripts may be published in two parts or eSupplements can be published online only.

Title (as short and as striking as possible), possibly with a subtitle, the name of the author with title and fully written out first name, institution, address and e-mail.

Abstract (max. 1,000 characters and max. 5 keywords).

In articles of more than 5,000 characters, the main text is subdivided into up to 3 levels by subtitles. It is normally completed by figures and tables. These are sent separately (see below). Please employ the classical structure (introduction, problem, methods, results, and discussion including limitations [e.g. of the study design]). The article must be structured clearly.

Figures and Tables should be given running Arabic numbers. The text will include a corresponding reference (Table/Figure 1). The number of figures and tables should be appropriate to the text (maximally 2 per printed page). The figures and tables must be submitted in printable quality (300 dpi) as an “open” file (e.g. xls or ppt files, to which the publishers have access) or as a reproducible draft. If figures or tables are taken from other printed works, please give the source precisely. It will be assumed that you have approval for reproduction.

Short Paper

The category Short Paper gives you the chance to publish the results of even small studies in a form that can be cited. In comparison or in addition to volumes of congress reports or symposia, you reach many more readers, as the circulation of ERNÄHRUNGS UMSCHAU is so high.

Short papers are between 4,000 and 8,000 characters in length (including blank spaces), depending on the proportion of figures and tables. This corresponds to two printed pages and is about the size of a classical congress poster. Larger manuscripts are treated as a full paper (see above). Because of the special features of the short paper, it is essential to employ short and striking formulations and to concentrate on the methods, results and discussion sections. If at all possible, duplications (e.g. values in both the tables and text) should be avoided. You can discuss this with the Editorial Office.

Title, main text, summary and references comply with those of Full Papers (except: abstract should not exceed 300 characters incl. blank spaces, references should not exceed 15 citations).

If the study has already been submitted elsewhere in a similar form as a poster, please mention this in the text (e.g. updated version of a poster at function XYZ).

Scientific papers which pass the peer review process also appear as the full English text in the online journal Ernaehrungs Umschau international (see 7. Publication in English within these “Instructions for Authors”).

B) Acquired manuscripts

The form of acquired manuscripts mainly complies with peer reviewed articles. What’s different, is:

Instead of an abstract the manuscript starts with a lead text (max. 400 characters incl. blank spaces) that introduces the topic.
It is not necessary to follow the classical structure (introduction, problem, methods, results, and discussion); structure is to be oriented towards the content.
Length of manuscripts depends on the category and is agreed upon between author and editors.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label="6. References" _builder_version="4.27.5" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]

6. References

The list of references includes the literature references in the sequence in which they are cited in the text. The running numbers are in the text in square brackets. The list should not contain more than 40 references (original articles). A greater number is allowed for review articles, a smaller for Short Papers (15). If more references are cited, editors may publish them not in print, but only online. Please cite original articles where possible.

The standard manner of citation is as follows (1. book; 2. journal; 3. URL).

From 01.01.2020 on, ERNÄHRUNGS UMSCHAU is using the endnote style of “Deutsches Ärzteblatt”.

Referencing Styles

List up to six authors; with seven or more authors, list only the first three, followed by “et al.“
English titles are not capitalized, with the exception of the first word, and proper nouns (e. g. German, German Nutrition Society etc.)
Journal abbreviations follow the convention used in the NLM Catalog <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals">www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals</a>

Declaration on the use of AI and conflicts of interest

In order to make clear to our readers both the nature and extent of the use of AI in the preparation of manuscripts and possible conflicts of interest of the authors of specialist articles, only manuscripts with a declaration on the use of AI and conflicts of interest by all authors involved are published in Ernährungs Umschau. The declaration on the use of AI is signed by the corresponding authors for all co-authors.

Manuscripts submitted for the peer review process without this declaration will not be forwarded for review.

You can download the declaration on the use of AI and conflicts of interest hier.

There is a conflict of interest when your interpretation of data or your presentation of results could be influenced by your personal or financial links to other persons or organizations. Authors should exclude all financial conflicts of interest, as well as non-financial conflicts of interest, which might discredit the publication and/or the authors, if these conflicts first become known after the publication of the manuscript. Please send us a current declaration of conflict of interest with each new manuscript, even if you have frequently published in the Ernährungs Umschau. By signing the imprimatur form, you confirm that the declaration on conflict of interest we have received is correct and valid.

You can base your formulation on the following examples:
I declare that there is no conflict of interest in the sense of the Guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.

Prof. Dr. B. Muster participates in the research projects of the firm XYZ.
Dipl. oec. troph. B. Muster receives lecture fees, expenses and travel costs from the company XYZ.
Dr. B. Muster has received research support from the firms XX, YY, ZZ and the foundation of the company XYZ.
