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.

Toxicology in Vitro
Affiliated with the American Association for Cellular and Computational Toxicology and the European Society for Toxicology in Vitro.Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers, reviews and workshop reports focusing on the application and use of in vitro and in silico systems for toxicological evaluations (collectively described as New Approach Methodologies (NAM)). This includes the utilisation or the development of NAMs for assessing the potential adverse effects of chemicals for human safety assessment. In vitro techniques include primary cells, tissue slices, cell lines and stem cells (adult, embryonic and induced Pluripotent cells) or subcellular preparations thereof. Our journal strongly supports the Reduction, Refinement and Replacement (3R) of animals in toxicology evaluations.This is a wide topic and thus we have certain preferences including:Developmen... of in vitro techniques and their application to research and regulatory use (i.e. 3R principle.Mechanisti... underpinning of data.Ability to translate outcome to human safety assessment.We strongly encourage :The use of normal (non-transformed) human cells (where appropriate).Reporti... the Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profile of the cells used (especially when cells have been provided as a gift or generated in house).Free access to raw (or primary) data.Appropriate model characterisation.The use (or reduction) of animal free components, including serum. [Especially when the system was already developed under such conditions, such as the HK-2 cell line].Attention to detailed methodology and appropriate statistics.

Chemico-Biological Interactions
A journal of molecular, cellular and biochemical toxicologyChemico-Bi... Interactions publishes research reports and review articles that examine the molecular, cellular, and/or biochemical basis of toxicologically relevant outcomes. Special emphasis is placed on toxicological mechanisms associated with interactions between chemicals and biological systems. Outcomes may include all traditional endpoints caused by synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals, both in vivo and in vitro. Endpoints of interest include, but are not limited to carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, respiratory toxicology, neurotoxicology, reproductive and developmental toxicology, and immunotoxicology.CBI discourages papers that are descriptive in nature and that do not address toxicological mechanisms (e.g., reports of toxicological effects following chemical exposure in absence of mechanistic experiments). CBI also discourages papers reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.Benefi... to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

NeuroToxicology
Affiliated with the International Neurotoxicology AssociationNeuroToxi... specializes in publishing peer-reviewed original research papers describing the effects of toxic substances on the nervous system across the lifespan as determined in humans and/or experimental models (in vivo, in vitro, in silico). The Journal welcomes papers dealing with the neurotoxic effects of occupationally and environmentally relevant exposures to agents (chemical, physical, biological, pharmacological or naturally occurring), singly or in mixtures, including complex mixtures, such as air pollution. Papers describing neurotoxic outcomes associated with natural disasters, industrial accidents, and terrorist attacks are also welcome.Experimental (animal, in vitro, in silico) papers focused on the neurotoxic effects of undefined commercial formulas (i.e., pesticide formulations) will be considered only if the authors report the chemical composition of the formulation and/or determine whether neurotoxic effects are due to the active chemical ingredient(s), carrier, or combination. For human studies, the components of formulations or other mixtures should be identified, but if not available, the source of exposure (i.e. commercial formulation, air pollution, wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural or industrial disasters) should be described as fully as possible.NeuroToxico... welcomes papers describing interventions for mitigating or reversing neurotoxic outcomes, but will accept papers reporting on neuroprotective or neurorestorative properties of formulations, botanical extracts, or other natural products only if full chemical identification and purification information of the active molecule(s) is provided. NeuroToxicology does not accept case reports.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.

It contains polished, concise, and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.In Current Opinion in Toxicology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.Current Opinion in Toxicology serves as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.Current Opinion in Toxicology builds on Elsevier's reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible biomedical research targeted at improving human health. It is a companion to the new Gold Open Access journal Current Research in Toxicology and is part of the Current Opinion and Research(CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists' workflow.Division of the subject into sections: For this purpose, the scope of Toxicology is divided into six selected, high impact themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year:Mechanistic ToxicologyMetabolic ToxicologyRisk assessment in ToxicologyGenomic ToxicologySystems ToxicologyTranslatio... ToxicologyExpertise: Expert authors, who are leaders in their field, are invited to write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject and provide short annotations to the papers that they think are most relevant. Comprehensiveness: There are 27 high-impact Current Opinion review journals in a range of subjects from food science to green and sustainable chemistry. Impact: In addition to a vast readership, Current Opinion titles enjoy high citations, Impact Factors, and CiteScores. Discoverability: Articles get high visibility and maximum exposure on an industry-leading platform that reaches a vast, global audience.Selection of topics to be reviewed Editors, who are major authorities in the field, are approved by the Editors-in-Chief of the journal. They divide their sections into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasised. Editors commission reviews from authors on each topic that they have selected and arrange for the peer review process. The papers are reviewed by 2 independent reviewers.Submission... Opinion in Toxicology allows two ways to submit to the journal:Invitation – in accordance with the established procedure for all Current Opinion titles, andNEW – authors are given a “spontaneous submission option” via the pre-submission route, in order to fully open the journal to the authorship.Short Reviews Authors write short review articles (approx. 2500 words), in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasising the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the 5 years.Editorial Overview For invitation only sections, Section Editors write a short overview at the beginning of the section, to introduce the reviews and to draw the reader's attention to any particularly interesting developments.Ethics in Publishing: General Statement The Editors and the Publisher of this journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly and professional publishing. While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper, are that the paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers, iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this journal. A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the journal is the safest course. All submissions to the journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures, if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.For more information, please refer to: https://www.elsevier...
