Abstract

This article outlines the history and development of Genes and Environment, the official journal of the Japanese Environmental Mutagen and Genome Society (JEMS). In the 1970s, there was growing concern about the mutagenicity of chemical substances, leading to the establishment of JEMS. The society began publishing its journal, Environmental Mutagen Research, and renamed Genes and Environment in 2006 to focus on gene-environment interactions and promote international collaboration. The journal transitioned to free-access and started publishing in English to expand its reach globally.From 2012, the journal partnered with BioMed Central (BMC) to become an open-access publication, leading to its inclusion in Scopus, PubMed, and SCIE, and an improvement in its CiteScore and Impact Factor. JEMS also sought funding from Japan's Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) to support international dissemination of research.Despite progress, challenges remain, such as limited submissions from certain regions and a need for greater global recognition. To further internationalize JEMS, efforts are being made to elevate the quality of research and broaden membership diversity, with a focus on making JEMS' activities and publications more accessible to the global scientific community.

基因与环境:对其历程、过去和未来的反思。
本文概述了日本环境诱变与基因组学会(JEMS)的官方期刊《基因与环境》的历史和发展。20世纪70年代,人们对化学物质的致突变性越来越关注,于是建立了JEMS。该学会开始出版杂志《环境诱变剂研究》,并于2006年更名为《基因与环境》,以关注基因与环境的相互作用,促进国际合作。该杂志转变为免费获取,并开始以英文出版,以扩大其在全球的影响力。从2012年开始,该杂志与生物医学中心(BMC)合作,成为一份开放获取的出版物,导致其被纳入Scopus, PubMed和SCIE,并提高了其CiteScore和影响因子。JEMS还从日本的科学研究资助计划(KAKENHI)寻求资助,以支持研究的国际传播。尽管取得了进展,但挑战依然存在,例如某些地区提交的材料有限,需要得到更大的全球认可。为了进一步使JEMS国际化,正在努力提高研究质量和扩大成员多样性,重点是使全球科学界更容易获得JEMS的活动和出版物。

期刊介绍: Genes and Environment is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to accelerate communications among global scientists working in the field of genes and environment. The journal publishes articles across a broad range of topics including environmental mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, environmental genomics and epigenetics, molecular epidemiology, genetic toxicology and regulatory sciences. Topics published in the journal include, but are not limited to, mutagenesis and anti-mutagenesis in bacteria; genotoxicity in mammalian somatic cells; genotoxicity in germ cells; replication and repair; DNA damage; metabolic activation and inactivation; water and air pollution; ROS, NO and photoactivation; pharmaceuticals and anticancer agents; radiation; endocrine disrupters; indirect mutagenesis; threshold; new techniques for environmental mutagenesis studies; DNA methylation (enzymatic); structure activity relationship; chemoprevention of cancer; regulatory science. Genetic toxicology including risk evaluation for human health, validation studies on testing methods and subjects of guidelines for regulation of chemicals are also within its scope.
