Abstract
Dr. Manfred Kroger, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science at Pennsylvania State University, served as both an editor for the Journal of Food Science and the Scientific Editor for CRFSFS. He also reviewed many papers and provided authors with pages of hand-written notes to help them be more successful in their manuscript submissions. In 2014, the IFT journals created the Manfred Kroger Award to recognize an outstanding journal reviewer. This year, we offer the first Kroger Award specifically for reviewing for CRFSFS. The Scientific Editors base their voting on the number of reviews provided, the timeliness of the reviews, and the quality of the constructive criticism provided.
The inaugural winner of the Kroger Award for this journal is Dr. Gloria López-Gálvez, D.V.M. She is a Senior Scientific Officer of the European Food Safety Authority in Parma, Italy, where she has worked since 2004. At the time of her selection, Dr. López-Gálvez had completed 19 reviews with an average reviewer rating of 2.96 out of a possible 3.0. Her reviews are typically completed in less than 2 weeks, and she has not refused to accept a review assignment since 2019. Her dedication to excellence in reviewing led to her appointment as one of the journal's Editorial Board Members at Large. Dr. López-Gálvez contributes valuable expertise in food safety assessment, food microbiology, mycotoxins, and fruits and vegetables.
期刊介绍:
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety (CRFSFS) is an online peer-reviewed journal established in 2002. It aims to provide scientists with unique and comprehensive reviews covering various aspects of food science and technology.
CRFSFS publishes in-depth reviews addressing the chemical, microbiological, physical, sensory, and nutritional properties of foods, as well as food processing, engineering, analytical methods, and packaging. Manuscripts should contribute new insights and recommendations to the scientific knowledge on the topic. The journal prioritizes recent developments and encourages critical assessment of experimental design and interpretation of results.
Topics related to food safety, such as preventive controls, ingredient contaminants, storage, food authenticity, and adulteration, are considered. Reviews on food hazards must demonstrate validity and reliability in real food systems, not just in model systems. Additionally, reviews on nutritional properties should provide a realistic perspective on how foods influence health, considering processing and storage effects on bioactivity.
The journal also accepts reviews on consumer behavior, risk assessment, food regulations, and post-harvest physiology. Authors are encouraged to consult the Editor in Chief before submission to ensure topic suitability. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on analytical and sensory methods, quality control, and food safety approaches are welcomed, with authors advised to follow IFIS Good review practice guidelines.
