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(xué)毒理學(xué)》（FCT）是一本國際知名期刊，發(fā)表關(guān)于人類環(huán)境中天然或合成化學(xué)物質(zhì)對動物和人類的毒性作用的原創(chuàng)研究文章和評論，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)食品、藥物和化學(xué)品，包括農(nóng)業(yè)和工業(yè)安全以及消費(fèi)品安全。該期刊的范圍包括新型食品和成分、生物技術(shù)衍生產(chǎn)品和納米材料的安全評估等領(lǐng)域。FCT 還鼓勵提交關(guān)于營養(yǎng)和毒理學(xué)之間相互關(guān)系以及體外技術(shù)的論文，特別是那些促進(jìn) 3R 的論文。

該期刊的主要目的是發(fā)表具有高影響力的學(xué)術(shù)作品，并作為毒理學(xué)研究的多學(xué)科論壇。提交的論文將根據(jù)科學(xué)原創(chuàng)性和對該領(lǐng)域的貢獻(xiàn)、質(zhì)量和主題進(jìn)行評判。研究應(yīng)至少解決以下問題之一：

-特定定義物質(zhì)引起的不良生理/生化或病理變化

-評估潛在毒性的新技術(shù)，包括分子生物學(xué)

-毒性現(xiàn)象背后的機(jī)制

-符合當(dāng)前科學(xué)可接受性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的特定化學(xué)品或消費(fèi)品（包括顯示不良影響和顯示安全性的化學(xué)品或消費(fèi)品）的毒理學(xué)檢查。

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

Food And Chemical Toxicology創(chuàng)刊于1982年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 毒理學(xué)全領(lǐng)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(yè)認(rèn)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(shù)3.9，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
