Focus and Scope

The Journal of Indonesia Applied Nutrition (JIAN) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that bridges the gap between nutritional science and its practical application.

Our primary mission is to provide an evidence-based platform for improving public health  and nutrition outcomes, with a specific emphasis on the Indonesian context, as well as other regions worldwide.

Scope of Interest

  • Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics: Applied medical nutrition therapy for communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevalent in tropical regions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and infectious diseases.
  • Food Science & Functional Foods: The development and evaluation of local indigenous foods, food fortification, and the nutritional impact of traditional Indonesian processing techniques.
