Pre-Publications

Pre-Publication of Manuscripts for Consultation

The Journal of the National Food Safety Authority of Egypt (JNFSA) is the vehicle developed by NFSA to facilitate sharing, with partners and stakeholders, their scientific reports, comprising risk assessments, risk analysis reports supporting the formulation of decisions, and other scientific communications that underpin food regulatory decisions under the oversight of NFSA. The Journal is peer reviewed through an editorial board appointed by NFSA, comprising NFSA scientists and Egyptian and/or international scientists.

The Journal will include pre-published papers or reports, that are being submitted for review, consultation and overall stakeholder input.

Papers that have benefited from such input after being pre-published will be published as a final publication and can be referenced to support NFSA’s food regulatory decisions.
