Toxicology

Toxicology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes only the highest quality original scientific research and critical reviews describing hypothesis-based investigations into mechanisms of toxicity associated with exposures to xenobiotic chemicals, particularly as it relates to human health. In this respect "mechanisms" is defined on both the macro (e.g. physiological, biological, kinetic, species, sex, etc.) and molecular (genomic, transcriptomic, metabolic, etc.) scale. Emphasis is placed on findings that identify novel hazards and that can be extrapolated to exposures and mechanisms that are relevant to estimating human risk. Toxicology also publishes brief communications, personal commentaries and opinion articles, as well as concise expert reviews on contemporary topics. All research and review articles published in Toxicology are subject to rigorous peer review. Authors are asked to contact the Editor-in-Chief prior to submitting review articles or commentaries for consideration for publication in Toxicology.

《Toxicology》是一本国际性的同行评审期刊，只发表最高质量的原创科学研究和评论，描述基于假设的对外来化学物质接触毒性机制的研究，特别是与人类健康相关的毒性机制。在这方面，“机制”既有宏观定义（例如生理、生物、动力学、物种、性别等），也有分子定义（基因组、转录组、代谢等）。重点放在发现新危害并可推断出与评估人类风险相关的接触和机制的研究结果上。
