Food And Chemical Toxicology

Journal Title：Food And Chemical Toxicology

Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.

The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following:

-Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances

-New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology

-Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena

-Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.

Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.

《食品与化学毒理学》（FCT）是一本国际知名期刊，发表关于人类环境中天然或合成化学物质对动物和人类的毒性作用的原创研究文章和评论，特别强调食品、药物和化学品，包括农业和工业安全以及消费品安全。该期刊的范围包括新型食品和成分、生物技术衍生产品和纳米材料的安全评估等领域。FCT 还鼓励提交关于营养和毒理学之间相互关系以及体外技术的论文，特别是那些促进 3R 的论文。

该期刊的主要目的是发表具有高影响力的学术作品，并作为毒理学研究的多学科论坛。提交的论文将根据科学原创性和对该领域的贡献、质量和主题进行评判。研究应至少解决以下问题之一：

-特定定义物质引起的不良生理/生化或病理变化

-评估潜在毒性的新技术，包括分子生物学

-毒性现象背后的机制

-符合当前科学可接受性标准的特定化学品或消费品（包括显示不良影响和显示安全性的化学品或消费品）的毒理学检查。

作者必须清楚、简要地说明所报告的化学品的新毒性作用或毒性机制以及它们在摘要中的重要性。此外，应包括足够的剂量以提供有关 NOAEL/LOAEL 值的信息。

Food And Chemical Toxicology创刊于1982年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖工程技术 - 毒理学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 约3.3个月 约4.5周，影响因子指数3.9，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。
