Biochemical Pharmacology
Biochemical Pharmacology publishes original research findings and review articles related to the elucidation of cellular and tissue function(s) at the biochemical and molecular levels, the modification of cellular phenotype(s) by genetic, transcriptional/tran... or drug/compound-induce... modifications, as well as the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics and drugs, the latter including both small molecules and biologics.The journal's target audience includes scientists engaged in the identification and study of the mechanisms of action of xenobiotics, biologics and drugs and in the drug discovery and development process.All areas of cellular biology and cellular, tissue/organ and whole animal pharmacology fall within the scope of the journal. Drug classes covered include anti-infectives, anti-inflammatory agents, chemotherapeutics, cardiovascular, endocrinological, immunological, metabolic, neurological and psychiatric drugs, as well as research on drug metabolism and kinetics. While medicinal chemistry is a topic of complementary interest, manuscripts in this area must contain sufficient biological data to characterize pharmacologically the compounds reported. Submissions describing work focused predominately on chemical synthesis and molecular modeling will not be considered for review.While particular emphasis is placed on reporting the results of molecular and biochemical studies, research involving the use of tissue and animal models of human pathophysiology and toxicology is of interest to the extent that it helps define drug mechanisms of action, safety and efficacy.Reports describing experiments conducted with natural product mixtures, plant or animal extracts will not be considered for publication unless the structures and concentrations of all component substances are known, and the agents can be easily obtained by others wishing to replicate the study.The chemical structure of all novel compounds tested must be included in the submitted manuscript or be readily accessible in the published literature. References to structures in the patent literature must unambiguously identify a single molecular structure. All compounds, reagents, instrumentation and equipment employed in a study must be available from identified commercial suppliers, bio/pharmaceutical companies or from individuals holding legal rights to their use. Submissions will not be considered for publication if the chemical structures of tested compounds are not revealed, generally known, or accessible in the literature.Original research submissions must contain:A rationale for the selection of the compound/drug for study as well as for the concentrations/doses employed. Quantities used for concentration- and dose-response experiments should vary logarithmically, e.g., 1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg, 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100 nanomolar, etc. Justification must be provided for studying only a single concentration or dose of a compound, especially as it relates to reference standards and antagonists/modulato... of receptors, enzymes and signaling pathways.Justificati... must also be provided for the selection of the statistical tests employed as they relate to the experimental design.It is expected that all findings have been subjected to rigorous quantitative analyses, with the calculation and reporting of IC50, Ki, EC50, etc., values. These must be derived from a minimum of three (3) separate and distinct experiments, with the replicates within any single experiment being averaged to obtain a single value for that experimental series.Manuscripts that fail to meet these criteria will be subject to rejection without peer-review.

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes the results of studies concerning toxic and pharmacological effects of (human and veterinary) drugs and of environmental contaminants in animals and man.Areas of special interest are: molecular mechanisms of toxicity, biotransformation and toxicokinetics (including toxicokinetic modelling), molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms explaining differences in sensitivity between species and individuals, the characterisation of pathophysiological models and mechanisms involved in the development of effects and the identification of biological markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in man and animals.In addition to full length papers, short communications, full-length reviews and mini-reviews, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology will publish in depth assessments of special problem areas. The latter publications may exceed the length of a full length paper three to fourfold. A basic requirement is that the assessments are made under the auspices of international groups of leading experts in the fields concerned. The information examined may either consist of data that were already published, or of new data that were obtained within the framework of collaborative research programmes. Provision is also made for the acceptance of minireviews on (classes of) compounds, toxicities or mechanisms, debating recent advances in rapidly developing fields that fall within the scope of the journal.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (TIPS) is a monthly peer-reviewed reviews journal that publishes reviews and opinions in fields broadly covering pharmacology, pharmacy, pharmaceutics and toxicology. Launched in 1979, TIPS every issue of TIPS contains succinct articles on the most exciting recent developments in pharmacology and therapeutics research. The major areas of research that TIPS is interested in are:Drug discovery and development (drug design, target identification and validation, lead generation, preclinical and clinical drug development, drug delivery, pharmaceutical formulation)Basic and clinical hharmacology (drug mechanisms, receptors, enzymes, ion channels, transporters, different classes of ligands, biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug metabolism and pharmacogenetics)The... (gene- based, cell- based, protein-based therapy, other drug modalities, routes of administration, drug classes, drug nomenclature)Drug safety and toxicity (drug- drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, mechanisms of drug toxicity, pharmacovigilance)Ph... pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomicsTIP... particularly seeks articles that are relevant to one or more of these themes. Additionally, TIPS welcomes articles on biopharma regulatory landscape, science policy and regulation and bioethics.Reviews and opinions published in TIPS are usually invited by the editor, Dr. Kusumika Mukherjee but we welcome suggestions from the community as well.

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - Part D: Genomics and Proteomics
Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology (CBP) publishes papers in comparative, environmental and evolutionary physiology.Part D: Genomics and Proteomics (CBPD), focuses on “omics” approaches to physiology, including comparative and functional genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. Most studies employ “omics” and/or system biology to test specific hypotheses about molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying physiological responses to the environment. We encourage papers that address fundamental questions in comparative physiology and biochemistry rather than studies with a focus that is purely technical, methodological or descriptive in nature.All four CBP journals support and follow the editorial direction from all the major societies in the field:Australia & New Zealand Society of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (ANZSCPB)American Physiological Society (APS)Canadian Society of Zoologists (CSZ)Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft (DZG)European Society of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (ESCPB)Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (JSCPB)South American Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (SASCPB)Societe de Physiologie (SDP)Society for Experimental Biology (SEB)Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology (SICB)Benefits to authorsCBP journals are focused on promoting the authors and the work published in the journal:All articles are carefully evaluated directly by the Editors-in-Chief who are leading experts in their field.Availability: contact the Editor-in-Chief for any questions you may have.The Journal will provide upon request free PDFs to all authors who may not have access to their articles via their institution or library.Publication is free to authors (no color or page charges).Supporting open access: if your funding body or institution requires your article to be open access, CBP offers that option. Please see details here.Reuse figures from any CBP article via "get rights and content" hyperlink available within each article (below author names and affiliations) on ScienceDirect.Please click here for more information on more general author services.Other CBP journals Part A (CBPA): Molecular & Integrative Physiology Part B (CBPB): Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Part C (CBPC): Toxicology & Pharmacology
