Evaluates fit, synthesis rigor, and desk-reject risks for manuscripts targeting the Elsevier journal Trends in Food Science & Technology.

The Trends in Food Science & Technology skill provides domain-specific academic publishing guidance for authors targeting Elsevier's flagship food science review journal. It evaluates whether a manuscript meets the strict critical synthesis and comprehensiveness standard required for reviews, identifies common desk-reject risks like inclusion of original experimental data, and assists in structuring frameworks, gap analysis, and forward-looking trends. If a paper does not align with the journal's review-only mandate, the skill provides actionable re-routing suggestions to alternative peer-reviewed venues such as Food Chemistry or Nature Food.
