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 有一个开放获取镜像 Toxicon: X，共享相同的目标和范围、编辑团队、提交系统和严格的同行评审。介绍性优惠 Toxicon: X - 完全免除开放获取费用。

Toxicon 的“目标和范围”是发布：

-包含对动物、植物和微生物毒素相关问题的原始研究结果的文章

-有关天然毒素的化学、药理学、毒理学和免疫学特性的新发现的论文

-对有毒和有毒生物体的毒素和其他基因进行分子生物学研究，以促进对毒素作用或功能的理解

-在提出新的治疗原则或获得明显优越的临床结果时，对中毒和中毒的临床观察。

-关于使用毒素作为研究生物过程的工具的材料以及与毒液和抗蛇毒血清问题相关的主题的材料。

-关于毒素转化应用的文章，例如药物和杀虫剂

-关于中毒或中毒的流行病学研究，只要它们突出以前未识别的医学问题或提供对中毒或中毒的预防或医学治疗的见解。医院记录的回顾性调查，特别是那些缺乏物种鉴定的，将不被考虑出版。强烈建议进行适当设计的前瞻性社区调查。

-描述毒液众所周知的活性的文章，例如蜘蛛毒液的抗菌、抗癌和镇痛活性，而没有任何试图确定作用机制或纯化活性成分的尝试，将不会考虑在 Toxicon 上发表。
