About the Journal

NutriCorex Health Journal (NCHJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the core intersection of nutritional sciences, metabolic health, clinical dietetics, functional foods, and preventive lifestyle medicine. Taking its name from the vital foundation ("Corex") of human nutrition, the journal serves as a premier biomedical and health sciences scholarly forum for nutritional scientists, clinical dietitians, endocrinologists, metabolic researchers, public health experts, and food technologists worldwide. NCHJ prioritizes rigorous empirical research, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), clinical interventions, metabolic pathway analyses, and molecular nutrition studies that evaluate how targeted dietary strategies and nutrient interactions influence systemic health, disease prevention, and therapeutic outcomes. By bridging molecular biochemical mechanisms with clinical nutrition and public health applications, the journal fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of how evidence-based nutritional science optimizes human health and metabolic resilience.

Reflecting its mandate to advance core nutritional science and clinical health integration, the journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trial reports, and empirical nutritional studies within the following thematic areas:

Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Health: Medical nutrition therapy (MNT), metabolic syndrome interventions, diabetes management, cardiovascular nutrition, obesity research, and clinical oncology dietetics.

Molecular, Cellular & Precision Nutrition: Nutrigenomics, epigenetics, nutrient-gene interactions, gut microbiome dynamics, metabolomics, and personalized nutrition frameworks.

Functional Foods, Bioactive Compounds & Nutraceuticals: Bioavailability of phytochemicals, functional food formulation, novel food bioactives, anti-inflammatory dietary strategies, and natural health products.

Public Health Nutrition & Food Security: Population dietary patterns, nutritional epidemiology, malnutrition interventions, food policy frameworks, and sustainable food systems for public health.

Sports Nutrition, Exercise & Human Performance: Energy metabolism in exercise, performance-enhancing dietary strategies, muscle protein synthesis, recovery nutrition, and body composition optimization.

To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and the timely dissemination of nutritional and health research, NCHJ is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on gut microbiome-metabolic interactions, precision nutrigenomics, or dietary strategies for healthy aging may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

NCHJ enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of scientific integrity, biochemical accuracy, and methodological validity across nutritional and clinical health disciplines.

Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Medical/Nutritional Subject Editor to assess scientific alignment, methodological soundness (quantitative clinical trial rigor, biostatistical validity, laboratory analytical accuracy, or epidemiological soundness), and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.

Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established academic researchers, clinical scientists, or senior nutritional specialists in the relevant domain.

Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on scientific merit, empirical rigor, biochemical accuracy, and clinical or public health applicability.
