The journal will be devoted to sharing original research on topics of national and international interest with respect to issues related to industrial chemicals, including the publication of critical analyses of safety assessments and public policies. High quality scientific analysis, original research, review papers, and critiques of regulatory/legal actions will be considered.
The issues presented in this journal will be the subject of active and timely debate within academic and regulatory circles in the United States and across the globe. It will generally focus on papers that do not address mechanistic toxicology but, instead, focus on applied and regulatory toxicology, especially those that address regulatory concerns.
Topics for which the public, non-governmental organizations, and agencies are wrestling will be encouraged. We are not aware of a journal today that has a similar mission focused on applied toxicology, pharmacology and exposure assessment.
As such, an emphasis will be placed on papers that address topics of national and international environmental, occupational, and public health significance. For example…
Original Research Articles: Should be of relevance on regulatory aspects of toxicology and pharmacology including but not limited to Factors influencing human sensitivity; Exposure science related to risk assessment; Alternative toxicological test methods; Translational toxicology with respect to species differences; Frameworks for evaluation and integration of data in regulatory evaluations; Harmonization of regulatory approaches; and Mechanistic studies with regard to their regulatory application
Research: Should focus on policy-related research issues and should provide an overview or highlights of recent research on a scientific topic that is of direct or future relevance for regulatory issues or associated legislations.
Commentaries: Should focus on a specific topic relating to regulatory aspects or legislation but are written on a strictly scientific basis. These Commentaries do not necessarily have to refer to the articles that have been published in the journal but may also address issues that are important to regulatory toxicology and pharmacology.
Workshop reports: Should report on workshops, symposia and seminars sessions that address issues of significant importance to regulatory toxicology and pharmacology
Letter to the Editors: Will be considered that refer to an article published in the journal and includes omissions or reflects differences in opinion, based on scientific evidence.
