ISSN / eISSN
2305-6304 / 2305-6304
Aims and Scope
The Journal accepts papers describing work that furthers our understanding of the exposure, effects, and risks of chemicals and materials in humans and the natural environment as well as approaches to assess and/or manage the toxicological and ecotoxicological risks of chemicals and materials. The journal covers a wide range of toxic substances, including metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, biocides, nanomaterials, and polymers such as micro- and mesoplastics. Toxics accepts papers covering:
The occurrence, transport, and fate of chemicals and materials in different systems (e.g., food, air, water, soil);
Exposure of humans and the environment to toxic chemicals and materials as well as modelling and experimental approaches for characterizing the exposure in, e.g., water, air, soil, food, and consumer products;
Uptake, metabolism, and effects of chemicals and materials in a wide range of systems including in-vitro toxicological assays, aquatic and terrestrial organisms and ecosystems, model mammalian systems, and humans;
Approaches to assess the risks of chemicals and materials to humans and the environment;
Methodologies to eliminate or reduce the exposure of humans and the environment to toxic chemicals and materials.

The publication fee for me was a little over 16,000, but now it seems to have increased to around 20,000.
In terms of journals of the same level, the review process of Toxics is relatively rigorous and serious. However, it is also fast, mainly reflected in the efficiency of the editorial department. Anything that needs to be handled by the editorial department is basically completed on the same day. For example, the manuscript is processed two hours after submission, and reviewers are contacted on the same day. English editing and typesetting for proof are completed on the same day of acceptance.

The publication fee is now 2000CHF, which can be considered as catching up with graduation. Thank you, editor.
