Nutrition Research Reviews is the review journal of the Nutrition Society, publishing authoritative, peer-reviewed survey articles across the full span of nutritional science. Unlike primary research journals, it specialises in synthesis: critical evaluations of evidence on topics from micronutrient metabolism and gut microbiota to dietary patterns and public health interventions. Its articles serve researchers needing orientation in unfamiliar subfields, policymakers seeking evidence summaries, and advanced students building literature foundations. Publication follows rigorous peer review, and the journal’s impact reflects the value the field places on well-conducted reviews in an era of information overload. Alongside its sister journals, the British Journal of Nutrition and Public Health Nutrition, it forms the publishing backbone of one of the world’s oldest nutrition societies, founded in 1941.
