Food and Chemical Toxicology
Affiliated with the Chinese Society of ToxicologyFood and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) is an internationally renowned journal that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects and toxic mechanisms of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment (present in food and/or the human environment). The scope of the journal includes drugs, consumer chemicals/products (e.g. cosmetics); agricultural chemicals/products (e.g. pesticides) and industrial chemicals (e.g relevant to occupational exposure). Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-d... products and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. In these cases, a comprehensive characterisation of the materials under evaluation is necessary. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.In addition, the journal also publishes Special Issues focussed on selected subject areas. These issues typically involve new areas of interest or concern and there will be some flexibility in the papers considered in terms of scope.The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in Toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter.Contributors who do not heed the requirements outlined in the instructions to authors and Editorials risk manuscript rejection without further consideration.Studie... should address at least one of the following:Adverse physiological/bioche... or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances,New techniques for assessing potential toxicity,Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena,Toxicologi... examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.Author... must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract.Studies that consider time- and dose-response effects are likely to be considered more reliable and therefore considered more favourably.Manuscrip... describing research involving the following areas will not be considered:materials... of only local interest,materials/s... for which the chemical composition is not clearly defined,only pharmacological properties or potentially beneficial effects, chemical analyses of toxins in foods without addressing the toxic implication to humans [i.e. a risk assessment should be included],unrealisti... human doses, inappropriate route(s) of exposure, or in vitro experiments that do not reflect serum levels in humans without a compelling justification.FCT is committed to the highest standards. Only papers that have not been previously published, that fit in the above-mentioned scope, and which have been reviewed by experts in the field prior to publication will be considered for eventual publication. Cover letters must be included and state that the manuscript is new and original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Co-authors should be individuals who have contributed substantially to the content of the papers. All authors must declare any potential conflict of interest and all financial support.Any papers offered re-submission after review must contain a separate letter containing a response to all the points raised by the Editors and reviewers.

Biochemical Engineering Journal
endorsed by Division of Biochemical Engineering, The Society of Chemical Engineers, JapanBiochemical Engineering Journal welcomes submissions from NIH-funded authors. We deposit gold open access articles immediately in PubMed Central. For other articles, we shall deposit the accepted manuscript on behalf of the author to PubMed Central after 12 months (the normal embargo period for this journal is 24 months). For more information, please see here.The Biochemical Engineering Journal aims to promote progress in the crucial chemical engineering aspects of the development of biological processes associated with everything from raw materials preparation to product recovery relevant to industries as diverse as medical/healthcare, industrial biotechnology, and environmental biotechnology.The Journal welcomes full length original research papers, short communications, and review papers* in the following research fields:Biocatalysis (enzyme or microbial) and biotransformations, including immobilized biocatalyst preparation and kinetics Biosensors and Biodevices including biofabrication and novel fuel cell development Bioseparations including scale-up and protein refolding/renaturati...
