Findings: the proportion of first authors and of authors in general affiliated with English-speaking WEIRD countries, defined as the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, generally decreased over time; the journals carry a substantially larger proportion of authors affiliated with other nations than with English-speaking WEIRD countries; and the three journals differ substantially from one another. THE LIMIT MUST BE IN THE PROSE OR THE SOURCE MUST NOT BE USED: this audits author affiliation rather than sample composition, and it is sensory and food science rather than marketing.
