Aquatic Toxicology publishes significant contributions that increase the understanding of the impact of harmful substances (including natural and synthetic chemicals) on aquatic organisms and ecosystems.
Aquatic Toxicology considers both laboratory and field studies with a focus on freshwater/marine environments. The journal strives to attract high quality original scientific papers, critical reviews and expert opinion papers in the following areas:
Effects of harmful substances on molecular, cellular, sub-organismal, organismal, population, community, and ecosystem level;
Mechanisms of toxicity;
Genetic disturbances, transgenerational effects, behavioral and adaptive responses;
Impacts of harmful substances on structure, function of and services provided by aquatic ecosystems;
Mixture and multiple toxicity assessment;
Acute and chronic exposure;
Environmental realistic scenarios;
Impact of emerging substances and environmental pollutants of high actuality;
Statistical approaches to predict exposure to and hazards of contaminants.
The journal also considers manuscripts in other areas, such as the development of innovative concepts, approaches, and methodologies, which promote the wider application of toxicological datasets to the protection of aquatic environments and inform ecological risk assessments and decision making by relevant authorities.
Aquatic Toxicology does not publish articles that focus on the health of aquaculture organisms associated with aquaculture practices, unless these studies enhance our understanding of the potential effects of chemical stressors associated with aquaculture (e.g. pesticides use, water quality degradation) on aquatic organisms and/or ecosystems.
Aquatic Toxicology does not consider articles that focus on monitoring the presence of chemicals in the environment unless these studies further investigate the impacts of the chemicals on aquatic organisms and/or ecological systems. Furthermore, studies that characterize the potential risks of contaminated fish or other aquatic food products on humans or livestock are outside of the scope of the journal.

It covers all aspects of the fields, including clinical, educational, and translational research, associated with new technologies, epidemiology, public health and environmental aspects. JAHD is an international platform for promoting and disseminating findings in quality original articles, guidelines, reviews, and short communications to a wide audience.AimsThe JAHD supports modern and traditional approaches and public health strategies to improve the quality care of patients with allergy, asthma and hypersensitivity. An international team of experts counts as part of the editorial board and reviewers, who ensure dynamic peer-review and timely high impact scientific publications.ContentAll JAHD content will be peer-reviewed. The journal welcomes original articles covering the spectrum of conditions managed by allergists in clinical practice, such as:anaphylaxisdrug-related allergyfood and insect sting allergic and hypersensitivity conditionsallergic and hypersensitivity conditions affecting the eyesskin and respiratory tract conditionseosinophilic and mast cell disordersepidemiological, environmental, mechanistic, and diagnostic researchThe JAHD will present results from these areas in original papers, review articles and short communications. This research must advance the understanding of an allergic condition or medical treatment and contribute to improving the quality of care of patients with allergy, asthma, and hypersensitivity.Article typesThe JAHD will consider articles, reviews, technical notes and letters to the editors for publication, provided that the methodology and the scientific content are of high quality and the results have substantial clinical impact.Publication scheduleThe journal will be published in e-only format and 2 issues in the first year, 4 issues in the second, third and fourth years, and every 2 months in year 5 and after (6 issues per year). The journal will use a fast production workflow, with article-based publishing and article numbering.Editorial board and processesArticle quality will be assured by an international and gender-balanced editorial board nominated by the editor-in-chief.
A section of Mutation ResearchMutation Research: Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis (MRGTEM) publishes papers advancing knowledge in the field of genetic toxicology. Papers are welcomed in the following areas:New developments in genotoxicity testing of chemical agents (e.g., in methodology of assay systems and interpretation of results).Alternatives to and refinement of the use of animals in genotoxicity testing.Nano-genotoxicology, the study of genotoxicity hazards and risks related to novel man-made nanomaterials.Studies of epigenetic changes in relation to genotoxic effects.The use of structure-activity relationships in predicting genotoxic effects.The isolation and chemical characterization of novel environmental mutagens.The measurement of genotoxic effects in human populations, when accompanied by quantitative measurements of environmental or occupational exposures.The application of novel technologies for assessing the hazard and risks associated with genotoxic substances (e.g., OMICS or other high-throughput approaches to genotoxicity testing).Telomere biology as an endpoint for examination of the effects of chemicals and other environmental exposures.MRGTEM is now accepting submissions for a new section of the journal, "Current Topics in Genotoxicity Testing," that will be dedicated to the discussion of current issues relating to design, interpretation, and strategic use of genotoxicity tests. This section is envisaged to include discussions relating to the development of new international testing guidelines, but also to wider topics in the field. The evaluation of contrasting or opposing viewpoints is welcomed as long as the presentation is in accordance with the journal’s aims, scope, and policies.MRGTEM supports and follows the general direction proposed by all major societies in the field part of the International Association of Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Societies (IAEMGS):Asociacion Latinoamericana de Mutagenesis, Carcinogenesis y Teratogenesis Ambiental (ALAMCTA)Brazilian Association of Mutagenesis and Environmental Genomics (MutaGen-Brasil)Chinese Environmental Mutagen Society (CEMS)European Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EEMGS)Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS)Environmental Mutagen Society of India (EMS India)Iranian Environmental Mutagen Society (IrEMS)The Japanese Environmental Mutagen Society (JEMS)Korean Environmental Mutagen Society (KEMS)Molecular and Experimental Pathology Society of Australasia (MEPSA)Pan-African Environmental Mutagen Society (PAEMS)Philippines Environmental Mutagen Society (PEMS)Thai Environmental Mutagen Society (TEMS)Other Mutation Research sections: DNA Repair Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis (MR) Mutation Research - Reviews (MRR)
The subject areas of Mutation Research - Reviews in Mutation Research (MRR) encompass the entire spectrum of the science of mutation research and its applications, with particular emphasis on the relationship between mutation and disease. Thus, this section will cover:Advances in human genome research (including evolving technologies for mutation detection and functional genomics) with applications in clinical genetics, gene therapy and health risk assessment for environmental agents of concernGenetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis (including the factors that modulate the genetic activity of environmental agents) will continue to be prominent topics in this section.MRR supports and follows the general direction proposed by all major societies in the field part of the International Association of Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Societies (IAEMGS):Asociacion Latinoamericana de Mutagenesis, Carcinogenesis y Teratogenesis Ambiental (ALAMCTA)Brazilian Association of Mutagenesis and Environmental Genomics (MutaGen-Brasil)Chinese Environmental Mutagen Society (CEMS)European Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EEMGS)Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS)Environmental Mutagen Society of India (EMS India)Iranian Environmental Mutagen Society (IrEMS)The Japanese Environmental Mutagen Society (JEMS)Korean Environmental Mutagen Society (KEMS)Molecular and Experimental Pathology Society of Australasia (MEPSA)Pan-African Environmental Mutagen Society (PAEMS)Philippines Environmental Mutagen Society (PEMS)Thai Environmental Mutagen Society (TEMS)Other Mutation Research sections: DNA Repair Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis (MR) Mutation Research - Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis (MRGTEM)
