# Trends in Food Science & Technology (trends-in-food-science-and-technology) ## Journal positioning Trends in Food Science & Technology is the Elsevier review and synthesis journal for food science and technology — critical reviews, trend analyses, and opinion that frame the state and direction of a field. Its defining expectation is **critical synthesis, not new primary data**: a comprehensive, evaluative account that integrates the existing literature, identifies what is settled and what is contested, and points to research gaps and emerging directions. A manuscript whose core contribution is original experimental results is the single largest desk-reject risk here, regardless of quality. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Trends in Food Science & Technology guidance. ## When to trigger - The author names Trends in Food Science & Technology and wants a fit check for a review or trend article in food science. - A body of primary work needs to be re-framed as a critical, gap-identifying synthesis rather than submitted as a primary-research paper. - The author

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill trends-in-food-science-and-technology --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
