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.

《食品與化學毒理學》（FCT）是一本國際知名期刊，發表關于人類環境中天然或合成化學物質對動物和人類的毒性作用的原創研究文章和評論，特別強調食品、藥物和化學品，包括農業和工業安全以及消費品安全。該期刊的范圍包括新型食品和成分、生物技術衍生產品和納米材料的安全評估等領域。FCT 還鼓勵提交關于營養和毒理學之間相互關系以及體外技術的論文，特別是那些促進 3R 的論文。

該期刊的主要目的是發表具有高影響力的學術作品，并作為毒理學研究的多學科論壇。提交的論文將根據科學原創性和對該領域的貢獻、質量和主題進行評判。研究應至少解決以下問題之一：

-特定定義物質引起的不良生理/生化或病理變化

-評估潛在毒性的新技術，包括分子生物學

-毒性現象背后的機制

-符合當前科學可接受性標準的特定化學品或消費品（包括顯示不良影響和顯示安全性的化學品或消費品）的毒理學檢查。

作者必須清楚、簡要地說明所報告的化學品的新毒性作用或毒性機制以及它們在摘要中的重要性。此外，應包括足夠的劑量以提供有關 NOAEL/LOAEL 值的信息。

Food And Chemical Toxicology創刊于1982年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 毒理學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.3個月 約4.5周，影響因子指數3.9，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。
