The field of public health nutrition includes the study of nutrients during growth, reproduction, aging, health, and disease. Original research articles must declare a research hypothesis and include aspects of mechanisms. Reviews are open to systematic reviews and meta-analyses but the review must provide critical analysis of existing nutrition evidence, identify gaps in knowledge, and include recommendations for future research.
