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 有一個開放獲取鏡像 Toxicon: X，具有相同的目標和范圍、編輯團隊、提交系統和嚴格的同行評審。 Toxicon: X 的介紹性優惠 - 完全免除開放獲取費用。

Toxicon 的“目標和范圍”是發布：

- 包含與來自動物、植物和微生物的毒素相關問題的原創研究結果的文章

- 關于天然毒素的化學、藥理學、毒理學和免疫學特性的新發現的論文

- 毒素和有毒生物基因的分子生物學研究，促進對毒素的作用或功能的理解

- 對中毒和中毒的臨床觀察，其中提出了新的治療原理或獲得了明顯優越的臨床結果。

- 關于使用毒素作為研究生物過程的工具的材料以及與毒液和抗蛇毒問題相關的主題的材料。

- 關于毒素的轉化應用的文章毒素，例如藥物和殺蟲劑

- 關于中毒或中毒的流行病學研究，只要它們突出了以前未被認識到的醫學問題或提供了預防或治療中毒或中毒的見解。回顧性醫院記錄調查，特別是那些缺乏物種鑒定的調查，將不考慮發表。強烈鼓勵進行適當設計的前瞻性社區調查。

- 描述毒液眾所周知的活性（如蛛形綱動物毒液的抗菌、抗癌和鎮痛活性）的文章，如果沒有嘗試定義作用機制或純化活性成分，將不考慮在 Toxicon 上發表。

- 有關毒理學問題的評論文章。

為了鼓勵思想交流，期刊的部分內容可能專門用于簡短通訊、致編輯的信和附屬協會的活動。

Toxicon創刊于1962年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫學 - 毒理學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 約3.0個月 約7.8周，影響因子指數2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
