International Journal of Toxicology

Aims & Scope

International Journal of Toxicology (IJT) offers academic, industry, and regulatory toxicologists, as well as toxicology consultants, timely, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary articles and incisive reviews on contemporary issues in toxicology, plus safety assessments, novel approaches to toxicological testing, mechanisms of toxicity, biomarkers, and risk assessment.

Each issue of IJT provides an important forum for articles that promote basic toxicology research, as well as those that facilitate and improve toxicology practice.

IJT also publishes invited reviews, articles based on symposia, book and media reviews, and editorials.

IJT publishes sponsored supplemental issues, including three issues each year devoted to contributions from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel.

Each issue brings the reader up to date across the broad range of critical issues in toxicology, including: •mechanisms of toxicity •risk assessment and safety evaluation •carcinogenicity •reproductive and genetic toxicity •epidemiology and clinical toxicity •new approaches to toxicological testing •alternatives to animal testing •regulatory toxicology
