Appetite is an international research journal specializing in cultural, social, psychological, sensory and physiological influences on the selection and intake of foods and drinks. It covers normal and disordered eating and drinking and welcomes studies of both human and non-human animal behaviour toward food. Appetite publishes research reports, reviews and commentaries. Thematic special issues appear regularly. From time to time the journal carries abstracts from professional meetings. Submissions to Appetite are expected to be based primarily on observations directly related to the selection and intake of foods and drinks; papers that are primarily focused on topics such as nutrition or obesity will not be considered unless they specifically make a novel scientific contribution to the understanding of appetite in line with the journal's aims and scope.

Research areas covered include:

• Psychological, social, sensory and cultural influences on appetite
• Cognitive and behavioural neuroscience of appetite
• Clinical and pre-clinical studies of disordered appetite
• Nutritional influences on appetite
• Food attitudes and consumer behaviour towards food
• Psychology and ethnography of dietary habits
• History of food cultures
