Journal Title：Journal Of Insects As Food And Feed

The Journal of Insects as Food and Feed covers edible insects from harvesting in the wild through to industrial scale production. It publishes contributions to understanding the ecology and biology of edible insects and the factors that determine their abundance, the importance of food insects in people’s livelihoods, the value of ethno-entomological knowledge, and the role of technology transfer to assist people to utilise traditional knowledge to improve the value of insect foods in their lives. The journal aims to cover the whole chain of insect collecting or rearing to marketing edible insect products, including the development of sustainable technology, such as automation processes at affordable costs, detection, identification and mitigating of microbial contaminants, development of protocols for quality control, processing methodologies and how they affect digestibility and nutritional composition of insects, and the potential of insects to transform low value organic wastes into high protein products. At the end of the edible insect food or feed chain, marketing issues, consumer acceptance, regulation and legislation pose new research challenges. Food safety and legislation are intimately related. Consumer attitude is strongly dependent on the perceived safety. Microbial safety, toxicity due to chemical contaminants, and allergies are important issues in safety of insects as food and feed. Innovative contributions that address the multitude of aspects relevant for the utilisation of insects in increasing food and feed quality, safety and security are welcomed.

《作为食物和饲料的昆虫杂志》涵盖了从野外收获到工业规模生产的可食用昆虫。它发表了对了解食用昆虫的生态学和生物学以及决定其数量的因素、食用昆虫在人们生计中的重要性、民族昆虫学知识的价值以及技术转让在帮助人们利用传统知识方面的作用的贡献提高昆虫食物在生活中的价值。该杂志旨在涵盖昆虫采集或饲养到销售可食用昆虫产品的整个链条，包括可持续技术的开发，例如以可承受的成本进行自动化过程，检测、识别和减轻微生物污染物，制定质量控制协议，加工方法以及它们如何影响昆虫的消化率和营养成分，以及昆虫将低价值有机废物转化为高蛋白产品的潜力。在食用昆虫食品或饲料链的末端，营销问题、消费者接受度、法规和立法提出了新的研究挑战。食品安全与立法密切相关。消费者的态度在很大程度上取决于感知到的安全性。微生物安全、化学污染物引起的毒性和过敏是昆虫作为食品和饲料的安全性的重要问题。欢迎创新贡献解决与利用昆虫提高食品和饲料质量、安全和保障相关的多个方面。

Journal Of Insects As Food And Feed创刊于2015年，由WAGENINGEN ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖Agricultural and Biological Sciences - Insect Science全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。影响因子指数5.100，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。

名词解释：
中科院分区也叫中科院JCR分区，基础版分为13个大类学科，然后按照各类期刊影响因子分别将每个类别分为四个区， 影响因子5%为1区，6%-20%为2区，21%-50%为3区，其余为4区。

大类学科	小类学科	分区
农林科学	ENTOMOLOGY 昆虫学 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 食品科技	3区

名词解释：
JCR没有设置大类，只分为176个具体学科，按当期（1年）的影响因子进行分区；JCR是按照“平均主义”思想， 根据刊物IF的高至低平均划分4个区，每个区含有该领域总量25%的期刊。中科院的分区如同社会阶层的金字塔结构，1区只有5%的顶级期刊， 2~4区期刊数量也逐层增加,所以中科院的1区和2区杂志很少，杂志质量相对也高，基本都是本领域的顶级期刊。
