Article writer

Articles should focus on one topic and stay with that subject to the end. Short articles (450 to 650 words) are always in demand. Feature articles should not exceed 1,000 words and, if the article is informational, should include at least one sidebar (helpful tips, steps to take to accomplish a goal, and additional resource information, etc.)



Information must be reliable——no faddism. Articles should represent the latest findings on the subject, and if scientific in nature, should be properly documented. (References to other lay journals are generally not acceptable.)



If your manuscript contains material that needs footnote documentation–statistics, quotes, findings from studies, etc.–We prefer that the reference be included in the body of the text (i.e., In parenthesis, not as a footnote). We encourage students to supply additional footnotes for editorial verification of nutritional facts and other scientific information.
