Toxicology Journal Overview:
Scope:
- Multidisciplinary: Toxicology is a multidisciplinary field embracing cutting-edge technologies to investigate adverse consequences of exposures to xenobiotic chemicals, especially in relation to human health.
- Data-Rich Field: The journal focuses on human-relevant and mechanistic research at all biological levels, from molecular to organismal.
Content Emphasis:
- High-Quality Research: Prioritizes original, high-quality research and review papers.
- Hazard Identification: Emphasizes topics relevant to toxicology, particularly hazard identification, subject to rigorous peer review.
Target Audience:
- Diverse Audience: Aims to serve undergraduates to professionals in academic, industrial, and regulatory settings globally.
Editorial Requirements:
- Abstract:
- Describes experimental system (e.g., in vivo species, cell culture) in the abstract.
- Includes exposure dose/concentration and duration producing observed effects.
- Materials and Methods:
- Discusses relevance of experimental system and exposure in terms of potential human exposures.
- Identifies chemicals by CAS number, source, purity, and method of randomization.
- Provides the number of experimental sample replicates, statistical analysis description.
Journal Policy:
- Chemical Characterization: Does not publish results from exposures to uncharacterized chemical mixtures or extracts; exposures must be fully characterized analytically.
- Descriptive Studies: Does not publish purely descriptive safety studies; emphasis on proposed mechanisms of toxicity.
Language: English
