Abstract
ABSTRACTNutritional epidemiology is a painstaking field that still includes some clinical observation and field work but whose most essential features today involve tests of statistical rigor and the screening out of potentially skewing factors for large study population studies whenever possible. Understandably, journals of nutrition and epidemiology publish the largest proportion of these studies, but specialized journals of oncology and other diet-influenced pathologies account for much of the remainder. The most prestigious general science and clinical investigation journals publish a relatively small number of papers in nutritional epidemiology and cite journals of nutrition at a proportionately low rate, but their open-access editions, most notably SpringerNature’s Scientific Reports, include some that publish and cite the field significantly more often.
