  • Open Food Facts supports science and scientists.
  • Science is one of the core pillars of Open Food Facts. Open Food Facts, from its creation in 2012, has relied on peer-reviewed scientific work to inform the public, like Nutri-Score and NOVA, and by making them available for a massive amount of people, across the world. We are also very happy and proud to see scientists reuse our data to push scientific knowledge forward. We love to engage with research teams to see what they can come up with, and how we can help them.

I published a scientific work based on Open Food Facts

What?

Who?

Dozens of researchers already know or use Open Food Facts data. See:

How?

🎯 Roadmap

Better track usage

Support new usages

Document best practises

Work In Progress

  • Nature seems to implement a tool for exporting articles in a .ris format (that is readable by most of the citation software : ris on wikipedia)
  • Some articles cite OFF by giving the url in the article :[1], [2]
  • Some cite OFF by giving the name : [3]
  • Some put OFF in citations : [4]

If our objective is to have an easy way to follow the scientific article using OFF, it would be interesting to create a DOI, and propose an easy way to cite the database by offering a way to download the reference in one of the major formats (here are those proposed by google scholar):
