Common T&F structure

Title page (with author bios/ORCID) → Abstract → Keywords → Introduction → (Methods) → main body with headings → Conclusion → Disclosure statement → Funding → Data availability → References → Tables → Figure captions → Figures. Review journals: organize by thematic headings rather than IMRaD.

  • Abstract: unstructured, typically ≤250 words.
  • Keywords: 5–7.
  • Word length: review articles are long-form; confirm any cap at the journal (CRFSN reviews are typically comprehensive, often 8,000–12,000 words).

Reference style

Author–date (APA-style, T&F variant). In-text (Author & Author, 2023); alphabetical reference list.

Example (APA-style):

Author, A. B., & Author, C. D. (2023). Title of the article. Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 63(10), 1234–1250. https://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2023.xxxxxxx
