Find 3 related scientific, peer-review articles of research related to the Management Topics listed below
Articles should relate to nutrition management or foodservice management
Articles must be about the same topic (see Management topics below for ideas)
Articles should be from no less than two different journals (JAND, Journal of Hospitality Management, etc.) and no older than 10 years (2009 and after).
