Journal Guide

Journal of Toxicology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of toxicology.

Now published twenty-four times per year, this authoritative journal features strictly refereed original research in the field of environmental toxicology in general as well as in special interest fields such as target organ toxicities, immunotoxicology, risk assessment, carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, ecotoxicology, environmental factors affecting health, and aquatic toxicology. Emphasis is on the toxicological effects of natural and anthropogenic environmental pollutants and their action on both intact organisms and in vitro systems. Increased attention is being placed on the results of epidemiological studies of select groups of workers in exposed populations. To facilitate the timely publication of short articles, the journal has added a new Rapid Communications section, keeping readers on top of important new developments in the field, as they happen. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health: Part B has been instituted to provide a quarterly outlet for in-depth critical reviews, both commissioned and unsolicited, which complement the original research published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health. In keeping with the original scope, Part B will focus on environmental toxicology in general as well as on special interest fields such as: * target organ toxicities; * immunotoxicology; * risk assessment; * carcinogenesis and mutagenesis; * ecotoxicology and aquatic toxicology; * environmental factors affecting health. Emphasis will be on the toxicological effects of natural and anthropogenic environmental pollutants and their action on both intact organisms and in vitro systems. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The journal provides the reader with a thorough description of theoretical and applied aspects of trace elements in medicine and biology and is devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge about trace elements and trace element species. Trace elements play essential roles in the maintenance of physiological processes. During the last decades there has been a great deal of scientific investigation about the function and binding of trace elements. The Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology focuses on the description and dissemination of scientific results concerning the role of trace elements with respect to their mode of action in health and disease and nutritional importance. Progress in the knowledge of the biological role of trace elements depends, however, on advances in trace elements chemistry. Thus the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology will include only those papers that base their results on proven analytical methods.Also, we only publish those articles in which the quality assurance regarding the execution of experiments and achievement of results is guaranteed.

The Journal of Trade Science is an international, peer-review journal that provides novel insights into contemporary business and trade issues, concerns, practices, and trends. The journal encourages interdisciplinary work and high-quality research aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The journal also advocates research in the context of developing and emerging countries that often face significant sustainability challenges. The journal is published in partnership with Thuongmai University, Vietnam.

Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences, published quarterly, contains original research papers and clinical studies on TCM, herbs and acupuncture with modern scientific research methods. Both theoretical and clinical researches will be included in this journal. In addition, reviews, policy news and case reports of TCM are also published in the journal.

The English Edition of JTCM appeared in 1981, being the earliest and the most authoritative TCM magazine with the largest circulation in China. It is an international quarterly devoted to clinical and theoretical research in this branch of medicine. The main columns include Experts' Forum, Clinical Observation, Basic Investigation, Reviews, Lectures, Teaching Round, and Questions and Answers, involving acupuncture, massotherapy and Chinese materia medica. Papers by outstanding clinicians, acupuncturists and researchers provide the latest information on the development of this discipline. JTCM is an indispensable reading for clinical practitioners and others interested in basic medicine research. Up to now, the German, Italian, Spanish, French, and Portugal editions have been successively published, making even greater contributions to the development and international academic exchange of traditional Chinese medicine.

JTCM focuses on both Eastern and Western complementary medicine and welcomes articles from all medical perspectives. JTCM encourages submissions which present observation and experimental investigation in translational and clinical studies, animal experiments, and in vivo/in vitro studies. Particular emphasis is given to the pathophysiological basis and the cellular-molecular mechanisms that underlie the beneficial effects of Traditional and Complementary Medicine.

Major topics covered include:

• Traditional medicine
• Herbal medicine
• Folk medicine
• Preventive medicine
• Dietary therapy / Nutrition supplements
• Mind-body therapies
• Review on historical, philosophy and social-cultural aspects of traditional and folk medicine
• Other traditional and complementary therapies

All articles published in the Journal, including perspectives, review, original articles, and short communications are the original content of the authors. The Journal's Editorial Office offers an efficient, constructive and friendly, though rigorous, peer review service as part of its ongoing effort to provide high quality and relevant perspectives in traditional and complementary medical sciences to our readers.
