- Description
- It is with great pride and honour that we launch the inaugural issue of the Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism (JNIM). This is an official publication of the Nutrition Society of Australia and currently we are actively seeking affiliations with other credible nutrition organisations. JNIM is an online-only, open access journal and the articles published will be freely available without registration or any access fee. The journal aims to publish original research articles and reviews relating to advances in nutritional sciences. It will present opportunities for researchers to publish their findings on mechanisms by which nutrition interventions influence clinical outcomes, with a focus on research describing how nutrients or nutritional supplements modulate metabolic pathways in the body. The supply of food is no longer a major determinant of malnutrition in the developing world. Rather, availability as well as consumption of nutrient dense foods has become a major barrier in meeting nutrient requirements for optimum growth and development as well as for prevention of obesity and related non-communicable diseases. JNIM aims to foster research and education in the role of nutraceuticals, functional foods and nutritional supplements in achieving ‘nutrition security’ for both the under- and over-nourished communities.
