Toxicon

Journal Title：Toxicon

Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee.

Toxicon's "aims and scope" are to publish:

-articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms

-papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins

-molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins

-clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained.

-material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems.

-articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides

-epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged.

-articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon.

-review articles on problems related to toxinology.

To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.

Toxicon 有一个开放获取镜像 Toxicon: X，具有相同的目标和范围、编辑团队、提交系统和严格的同行评审。 Toxicon: X 的介绍性优惠 - 完全免除开放获取费用。

Toxicon 的“目标和范围”是发布：

- 包含与来自动物、植物和微生物的毒素相关问题的原创研究结果的文章

- 关于天然毒素的化学、药理学、毒理学和免疫学特性的新发现的论文

- 毒素和有毒生物基因的分子生物学研究，促进对毒素的作用或功能的理解

- 对中毒和中毒的临床观察，其中提出了新的治疗原理或获得了明显优越的临床结果。

- 关于使用毒素作为研究生物过程的工具的材料以及与毒液和抗蛇毒问题相关的主题的材料。

- 关于毒素的转化应用的文章毒素，例如药物和杀虫剂

- 关于中毒或中毒的流行病学研究，只要它们突出了以前未被认识到的医学问题或提供了预防或治疗中毒或中毒的见解。回顾性医院记录调查，特别是那些缺乏物种鉴定的调查，将不考虑发表。强烈鼓励进行适当设计的前瞻性社区调查。

- 描述毒液众所周知的活性（如蛛形纲动物毒液的抗菌、抗癌和镇痛活性）的文章，如果没有尝试定义作用机制或纯化活性成分，将不考虑在 Toxicon 上发表。

- 有关毒理学问题的评论文章。

为了鼓励思想交流，期刊的部分内容可能专门用于简短通讯、致编辑的信和附属协会的活动。

Toxicon创刊于1962年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 毒理学全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度 约3.0个月 约7.8周，影响因子指数2.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
