ABSTRACT: State what was done, how it was done, major results, and
43
conclusions in 250 words or less (if abstract is longer than 250 words, you will be
44
asked to re-write it). Define all acronyms and abbreviations; do not cite
45
references
46
47
Keywords: Include 5 keywords (no acronyms) for indexing purposes (don’t leave
48
out the obvious ones). Use of keywords from the submission form in ScholarOne
49
is highly recommended, for consistency across the journal and for improved
50
search functionality in the online publication.
51
52
Practical Application: (optional; recommended for papers on original research)
53
In 2 to 3 sentences (under 100 words) written in plain laymen’s terms, state the
54
possible industrial or consumer application(s) of this research. This brief
55
paragraph should be easily understood by non-scientists and should not make
56
extravagant claims.
57
*NOTE* Do not include a PA for JFS Concise Reviews, JFSE, and CRFSFS papers.

*NOTE* JFS Concise Reviews, JFSE, and CRFSFS papers do not have to follow the “Materials
60
and Methods” and “Results and Discussion” structured format.

62
Introduction
63
In about 2 pages or less (double spaced), review pertinent work, cite key
64
references, explain the importance of the research, and state the objectives of
65
your work.
66
67
Materials and Methods
68
Provide sufficient detail so work can be repeated. Use subheads for clarity. Avoid
69
use of trade names. Define abbreviations and acronyms.
70
Conduct statistical analysis only if variation with a treatment (standard deviation
71
divided by the means) is greater than 10% and difference among treatment
72
means is less than 3 standard deviations.
73
74
Results and Discussion
75
Present and discuss results concisely, using figures and tables as needed (but
76
not the same information in both figures and tables). Compare results to those
77
previously reported, and indicate what new information is contributed herein.
78
Place figures and tables at the end of the document, after references.
79
80
Conclusion
81
State conclusions (do not summarize) briefly.
82
83
References
84
List only those references cited in the text (be sure references list all text
85
citations). Check “Author Guidelines—IFT Scientific Journals” for required format
86
of references, and look at recently-published papers for examples.
87
88
Acknowledgments
89
List sources of financial or material support and the names of significant
90
contributors (not authors).

92
Nomenclature
93
Not usually needed; can be added if necessary.
94
95
Appendix
96
Not usually needed; can be added if necessary
97
98
Tables
99
Number each table with Arabic numerals, and place a descriptive caption at the
100
top. Print one table per page. Use plain text with tabs and returns—do not
101
embed tables from other programs. Identify footnotes with lower-case letters
102
appearing as superscripts.
103
104
Figures (graphs, charts, line drawings, photographs)
105
Use one illustration per page, with the figure number and caption below each
106
figure. Use Arabic numerals. See “Authors Guidelines—IFT Scientific Journals”
107
for graphics specifications. Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright
108
permission to reproduce copyrighted illustrations.
109
110
Supplemental Information
111
Not usually needed. If you have very large tables, data sets, videos, or other
112
supplementary material that is too large to publish in print or in a format not
113
amenable to print, it can be published in the online version, attached to the paper
114
in the table of contents. Submit supplementary materials as separate files and
115
note at the end of the main body text that those files should be published online
116
as such.
