Journals in Toxicology

Elsevier's Toxicology collection provides essential insights for researchers and scientists into mitigating the adverse effects of contaminants on organisms, covering research, analysis, risk assessment, detection, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of toxic exposure. Including toxicity testing, environmental toxicology it offers valuable knowledge for addressing public health and safety challenges by examining the adverse effects of contaminants on human health, animals, and the environment.

  • NeuroToxicology

    • ISSN: 0161-813X
    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.

  • Toxicology in Vitro

    • ISSN: 0887-2333
    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. [Readers need to know how you did the experiment, how many times, how many replicates etc?]Reporting the source of the compounded tested, catalogue no. and lot no. Where the chemical has been purified or synthesised a full analytical report is expected.Quantificat... of compounds in exposure medium and/or cells over time (biokinetics).We do not accept solely in vivo investigations and rarely accept animal in vivo, in vitro hybrid papers, except where the animal data was critical in the interpretation or validation of the in vitro data (and not merely confirmatory).We generally discourage investigations relating:Unidentifie... mixtures - for example in plant extracts.Solely pharmacological investigations (e.g. demonstrating your chemical kills cancer cells in vitro is not generally acceptable).Use of non-human cells when human equivalents exist and are available.The lack of adherence to established protocols, without direct explanation.Reportin... cytotoxicity alone, with no mechanistic underpinning and/or no estimation of chemical exposure.

  • Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology

    • ISSN: 1382-6689
    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.

Properly designed prospective clinical studies or community-based surveys are strongly encouraged.- Articles describing activities of venoms or extracts, for example antibacterial, anticancer or analgesic activities, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component.- Bibliometric studies, unless they include a critical evaluation of the field.Toxicon has an open access companion: Toxicon: X. Both journals share the same aims and scope, editorial team, and rigorous peer review. The difference between the journals is the access model under which the journals will publish your work and the indexation status.
