Toxicology Reports is dedicated to all aspects of toxicology research and clinical sciences. The journal strives to provide a forum for original research papers pertaining to, but not limited to, the following subjects:Adverse effects of xenobiotics on the health of humans and animalsInfluence of diseases in humans or model animals on chemically induced toxicityToxicity of natural products and traditional medicinesClinical case reports involving exposure to toxinsComputational and predictive toxicologyEnvironmental and occupational exposure to toxinsOther areas of toxicological researchToxicology Reports encourages the submission of novel manuscripts that present a reasonable level of analysis, functional relevance and/or mechanistic insight. Toxicology Reports also welcomes papers that are predominantly descriptive but improve the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent studies, or provide important confirmation of recently published findings. The primary criteria for acceptance are that the work is original and scientifically sound.

Toxicology Research brings together established and emerging areas of toxicology in one journal. Combining chemical and biological studies, the journal aims to advance understanding in all areas of physiological toxicology through the publication of high quality research and review articles. Research which covers interfacial or emerging topics - such as computational and predictive toxicology - is particularly welcome.

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.TAAP also issues a standing call for outstanding Invited Review Articles. Potential authors should contact the Editor-In-Chief and complete an Invited Review Proposal Form before preparing or submitting their Review Article.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Toxicology & Industrial Health welcomes manuscripts dealingwith basic and applied research in the fields of toxicology, genetic and cellulartoxicology and risk assessment associated with hazardous wastes andgroundwater. The journal will accept and rapidly publish brief communicationsreporting on important research. It will publish several types of articlesincluding papers describing original research, reviews on subjects of contemporaryimportance to toxicologists and biochemical scientists; reports orproceedings, which will be published as supplements to issues of the journalat the expense of the organization that submits the proceedings and briefannouncements of scientific meetings or courses of interest to readers.

Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers and reviews on the application and use of in vitro systems for assessing or predicting the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. These in vitro techniques include utilizing cell or tissue cultures, isolated cells, tissue slices, subcellular fractions, transgenic cell cultures, and cells from transgenic organisms, as well as in silico modelling. The Journal will focus on investigations that involve the development and validation of new in vitro methods, e.g. for prediction of toxic effects based on traditional and in silico modelling; on the use of methods in high-throughput toxicology and pharmacology; elucidation of mechanisms of toxic action; the application of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in toxicology, as well as on comparative studies that characterise the relationship between in vitro and in vivo findings. The Journal strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that focus on the development of in vitro methods, their practical applications and regulatory use (e.g. in the areas of food components cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals). Toxicology in Vitro discourages papers that record reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.NEW!

Toxicon's "aims and scope" are laid down in the journal as:To publish:articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganismspapers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxinsmolecular biological studies of toxin and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxinsclinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtainedmaterial on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problemsreview articles on problems related to toxinology.AndTo encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the International Society on Toxinology.Toxicon strives to publish articles that are current and of broad interest and importance to the toxinology research community. Emphasis will be placed upon articles that further the understanding and knowledge of toxinology.Types of paperFull-Length Research Papers: Articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms.Short Communications: Short communications differ from full manuscripts only in that the research study does not lend itself to an extended presentation. Even though brief, the Short communication should represent a complete, coherent and self contained study. The quality of Short Communications is expected to be as good as that of full articles, and both full articles and Short communications will be refereed in an identical manner. The form is identical to that for a full article except that the report should not be divided into Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion. An abstract of not more than 75 words should be provided. The Short Communication may not be longer than five double-spaced typewritten pages (not including references, tables and figures) and should include not more than two tables of two figures or one of each.Letters to the Editor: These may be published if judged by the Editor to be of interest to the broad field of toxinology or of special significance to a smaller group of workers in a specialized field of toxinology. They should be headed `Letter to the Editor' which should be followed by a title for the communication. Names of authors and affiliations should be at the end of the letter.Announcements: Toxicon will only accept for publication announcements of great interest to toxinologists, such as notices of appropriate meetings and symposia and activities of the International Society of Toxinology.Reviews and mini-Reviews: Articles of interest to toxinologists which are published in journals other than Toxicon may be abstracted in the Reviews section of Toxicon. Readers who feel that a particular article or book should be abstracted in this section are encouraged to bring their opinions to the attention of one of the Review Editors. Mini-Reviews and proposals for mini-Reviews are welcomeMolecular Biology: Papers on molecular biological aspects of toxins are welcome. They can include cloning, expression, genetic and related studies. The papers must add to the understanding of the role or function of toxins. Papers providing cDNA sequences without any relevant conclusions are not acceptable. If cDNA sequences are included, authors must guarantee that the sequences will be deposited in a public gene bank before the publication of the paper in Toxicon.Clinical reports: Toxicon will publish clinical reports on poisoning where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been established. Please observe the following: Clinical Reports GuidelinesClassic Toxins: The main aim of these articles is to educate and inform both the experienced scientist and new scientists entering the field of toxinology. These articles should serve as a reference guide for anyone using toxins. Please contact Dr. Ed Rowan with your suggestions for inclusion in the 'classic toxins' feature.
