Use Quick Submission FormToxicology Research We Publish
Journal of Experimental and Clinical Toxicology welcomes diverse manuscript types that advance our understanding of toxic mechanisms, exposure pathways, and risk assessment methodologies. Our expert reviewers evaluate submissions based on scientific rigor, methodological soundness, and contribution to toxicological science.
Original Research Articles
Comprehensive studies investigating toxicity mechanisms, dose-response relationships, biomarker discovery, or novel exposure assessment methods.
Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses
Evidence synthesis examining toxicological endpoints, exposure-response relationships, or comparative toxicity assessments across studies.
Toxicity Pathway Studies
Mechanistic investigations of adverse outcome pathways, molecular initiating events, and cellular response cascades following chemical exposure.
Risk Assessment Reports
Quantitative risk evaluations, exposure modeling studies, or hazard characterization analyses for environmental or occupational toxicants.
Methods & Protocols
Novel analytical techniques, bioassay development, or innovative approaches to toxicity testing and exposure measurement.
Short Communications
Preliminary findings, novel observations, or rapid reports of emerging toxicological concerns requiring immediate dissemination.
Case Reports
Detailed documentation of unique toxicity cases, unusual exposure scenarios, or novel clinical presentations of poisoning.
Perspectives & Commentaries
Expert opinions on emerging toxicological issues, regulatory developments, or methodological controversies in the field.
Special Considerations: All animal studies must comply with ARRIVE guidelines. Human studies require ethics approval documentation. Environmental toxicology studies should include detailed exposure characterization. In vitro studies must demonstrate relevance to in vivo toxicity.

Submission Received
Your manuscript enters our system and undergoes automated completeness checks. You receive immediate confirmation with a unique manuscript ID for tracking.
Day 0Editorial Screening
Our editorial team evaluates scope fit, scientific merit, and methodological soundness. Manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening using iThenticate. Papers with >30% similarity require revision before proceeding.
Days 1-3Reviewer Assignment
We identify 2-3 expert toxicologists with relevant subspecialty expertise. Reviewers are selected based on publication record, methodological expertise, and absence of conflicts of interest.
Days 4-7Peer Review
Reviewers evaluate scientific rigor, methodological appropriateness, data interpretation, and contribution to toxicological knowledge. They provide detailed feedback on strengths and areas for improvement.
Days 8-21Editorial Decision
The handling editor synthesizes reviewer feedback and makes a decision: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject. You receive detailed reviewer comments and specific revision guidance.
Days 22-28Revision & Re-review
If revisions are requested, you submit an updated manuscript with a point-by-point response to reviewer comments. Revised manuscripts undergo expedited re-review by the same reviewers when possible.
Days 29-42Acceptance & Production
Accepted manuscripts enter production for copyediting, typesetting, and final formatting. You review and approve proofs before publication. Articles are published online immediately upon approval.
Days 43-60Publication & Indexing
Your article is published online with a DOI and submitted to major indexing databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar) for maximum visibility and impact.
