Example (APA-style):
Author, A. B., & Author, C. D. (2023). Title of the article. Food Science & Nutrition, 11(4), 1234–1245. https://doi.org/10.1002/fsn3.xxxxx
For eFood (numbered): in-text [1], numbered list.
Figures & tables
Figures ≥300 dpi (line art ≥600–1000 dpi); TIFF/EPS/PDF; RGB online; editable tables; cite in order. Wiley provides an EarlyView production workflow.
