Aims & Scope

Trends in Toxicology aims to establish a platform dedicated to disseminating impactful research that pushes the boundaries of toxicological science. The journal is committed to advancing the field by publishing pioneering studies, rigorous analyses, and innovative methodologies that address critical toxicological challenges. Through fostering scholarly exchange and collaboration, Trends in Toxicology seeks to elevate the global understanding of toxic substances, their mechanisms of action, and their impacts on biological systems, human health, and the environment. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope

Trends in Toxicology covers a broad range of topics that reflect the diverse and evolving nature of toxicology. The journal emphasizes research that advances beyond traditional approaches, highlighting interdisciplinary perspectives and innovative methodologies that deepen our understanding of toxic substances and their interactions with biological systems.

The scope includes studies on novel toxicology testing methods, focusing on developing alternatives to animal testing that enhance accuracy and ethical standards. It also encompasses research on the ecological effects of toxicants, examining the impact of pollutants on environmental systems and biodiversity. The journal encourages work in toxicogenomics, particularly studies that investigate genetic and epigenetic factors influencing individual responses to toxic exposures, thus supporting advancements in personalized toxicology.

In addition, Trends in Toxicology welcomes research linking toxicant exposure to human health outcomes, providing a foundation for evidence-based public health policies and regulatory frameworks. A focus on emerging contaminants, including newly identified pollutants and chemicals, further supports the journal’s commitment to exploring the evolving challenges in toxicology and their implications for human and environmental health.

By promoting a global and inclusive perspective, Trends in Toxicology encourages submissions from diverse geographic and cultural backgrounds, particularly supporting early-career researchers and those from underrepresented regions. Through rigorous peer review and a commitment to high-impact contributions, the journal aims to advance the field and provide a comprehensive understanding of toxicology’s critical role in science and society.
