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:

1. Abstract:
   • Describes experimental system (e.g., in vivo species, cell culture) in the abstract.
   • Includes exposure dose/concentration and duration producing observed effects.
2. 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:

1. Chemical Characterization: Does not publish results from exposures to uncharacterized chemical mixtures or extracts; exposures must be fully characterized analytically.
2. Descriptive Studies: Does not publish purely descriptive safety studies; emphasis on proposed mechanisms of toxicity.

Language: English
