Functional Food Journals
Functional foods can be defined as dietary items that, besides providing nutrients and energy, beneficially modulate one or more targeted functions in the body, by enhancing a certain physiological response and/or by reducing the risk of disease. Nutraceuticals are a group of products that are more than food but less than pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately there is still no internationally accepted definition of these products therefore their judgement varies country by country. In most countries nutraceuticals are taken as part of dietary supplements. Frequency of nutraceuticals use is 50%–70% in developed countries’ population and this number is increasing by the age. Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the journals with high impact factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. To increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals PrimeOA Publications top online publishing journals are indexed in different indexing and archiving services.
