摘要:Clinical Nutrition Research, the official journal of the Korean Society of Clinical Nutrition, celebrates its inaugural issue as of July, 2012. There has been a dearth of research in this field for some time. With the new law designed to implement proper nutrition policy, which went into effect on March 27, 2012, application of solid science-based nutrition knowledge in the establishment of nutrition policy has been specifically emphasized. Moreover, the legislation requires that the “Certified Clinical Dietitian” complete an extensive education program focused on clinical nutrition and become proficient in the collection and interpretation of data. The primary goal of the Journal is to encourage clinical nutrition research and multidisciplinary communication, which will eventually lead to the accumulation of solid evidence in this field.
