About the Journal

FSTRD focuses on next-generation technologies designed to detect, quantify, and prevent food safety hazards across global supply chains. Its speciality is the emphasis on rapid diagnostics an area with high publication density but lacking a dedicated, technology-centric outlet. The journal’s advantage is its strong alignment with engineering, biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and regulatory science, creating a unique cross-disciplinary space. By prioritising innovative methods, portable devices, and field-ready solutions, it appeals to both academic researchers and industry laboratories. This positions the journal for strong submission volume and high citation visibility due to constant needs in food safety innovation.
