Manuscript Submission
Manuscripts must be submitted online. There is no submission fee. Author instructions and forms are available at this site. Please note that your author account will be the same for JPEN as well as Nutrition in Clinical Practice (NCP), because authors submitting manuscripts for publication in JPEN are submitting their manuscript to the ASPEN journals’ office database, accessible to the Editors of both ASPEN journals
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously except in abstract form or as preliminary observations and are not under consideration by another publication. Each submission is given unbiased consideration and evaluated without regard to the race, gender, ethnic origin, or citizenship of the author(s). We treat all articles as confidential until they are published in the Journal.
