Journal Resource Page


What is the Journal Resource Page?
A compilation of peer-reviewed journal articles, recommended by "leaders in the field" and other SNPs who have an interest in obesity research and/or practice.  If you would like to recommend an influential or ‘landmark’ paper in your field, please email us at CON.SNP@gmail.com. Please keep in mind that the purpose of this resource page is to act as a tool which can help guide you when creating a research proposal.
