The Journal of Food Investigation is a 66-year quarterly scientific journal. It was founded in 1955 at the Budapest Institute of Chemistry and Food Research under the leadership of Dr. József Kottász. Quote from the Foreword to Volume 1, Issue 1: “The purpose of issuing Journal of Fod Investigation is to introduce new food chemistry test methods and to further strengthen the relationship and cooperation between our county and city council quality control institutes and to exchange experiences.”

Our scientific journal has been published continuously since 1955. Over time, with the development of food testing methods, it is publishing scientific papers from an ever-expanding range of food testing. We have been editing our publication in Hungarian and English in a renovated structure since 2014. Our peer-reviewed scientific publications are opened from 2019 (Open Access). 

From 2021, we will provide our published scientific papers with DOI identification numbers issued by the CrossRef (Digital Object Identifier Registration Agency). Our published publication was added to the databases of SCOPUS, SCIMAGO, MATARKA (it is a Hungarian catalogue of scientific articles and books). Additionally, the JFI (ÉVIK) was added to the list of scientific journals accepted by the Department of Agricultural Sciences of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA).
