Journal of Toxicology and Molecular Biology is open access journal invites authors from all over the world. We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a Word file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article. Types of Paper Original research paper These manuscripts describe original research findings. There is no limitation of words but abstract is about fewer than 250 words. The primary goal of the abstract should be to make the general significance and conceptual advance of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. They should contain no more than 60 references. These articles should include the following sections: • • • • • • • Introduction, including the background and rationale of the study. Methods, in adequate detail to permit reproduction of the research. Results, using subheadings if required. Discussion, including the interpretation and implications of the findings. Acknowledgements, stating the names of those people who contributed to the study but did not meet the requirements for authorship. Funding, including all sources of financial support for the study. Disclosure statement, summarizing potential conflicts of interest with any of the authors, or mentioning that there are none. Journal of Toxicology and Molecular Biology • • • • Author contributions, describing the contribution of each author in the design and conduct of the study, data collection and analysis, data interpretation and manuscript writing. References Tables Figure legends, Figures Review article Reviews of major importance in molecular biology and toxicology field are highly appreciated for Journal of Toxicology and Molecular Biology. These articles will be peer-reviewed. Articles should be maximum of 7000 words, including a summary of no more than 150 words (not including up to 130 reference) with subheadings in the text to highlight the content of different sections. However, unusually long articles should be discussed with the editor before submission. Mini-reviews These articles are usually but not necessarily solicited by the journal editors, and summarize salient literature that appeared over the past few years; they describe important new clinical research, or basic and translational research that has direct relevance to toxicology and molecular biology. They may be divided under liberal headings and subheadings, and should be no longer than 3500 words, excluding the title page, abstract, references, tables, and figure legends, but including the abbreviation list, acknowledgements, funding, and disclosure statement (if applicable); no author contributions are required. They should contain no more than 4 tables and figures combined and no more than 50 references. These articles are may not pre-screened and are usually reviewed by members of the editorial board.

The cover letter should address the following questions: • • Why is this manuscript suitable for publication in Journal of Toxicology and Molecular Biology? Why will your study inspire the other members of your field, and how will it drive research forward? You may recommend a suitable Associate Editor to handle your submission; however, the editors reserve the right to contact an alternative—either from the board or a guest editor. Journal of Toxicology and Molecular Biology The cover letter will be available to the editors and to external peer reviewers as necessary, so be careful not to reveal anything of a confidential nature. AbstractA structured abstract, by means of appropriate headings, should provide the context or background for the research and should state its purpose, basic procedures (selection of study subjects or laboratory animals, observational and analytical methods), main findings (giving specific effect sizes and their statistical significance, if possible), and principal conclusions. It should emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations. The Abstract of the paper should be succinct; it must not exceed 300 words. Introduction The Introduction should put the focus of the manuscript into a broader context. As you compose the Introduction, think of readers who are not experts in this field. Include a brief review of the key literature. If there are relevant controversies or disagreements in the field, they should be mentioned so that a non-expert reader can delve into these issues further. The Introduction should conclude with a brief statement of the overall aim of the experiments and a comment about whether that aim was achieved. Materials and Methods The Materials and Methods should provide enough detail for reproduction of the findings. Submit detailed protocols for newer or less established methods. Well-established protocols may simply be referenced. Results The Results section should provide details of all the experiments that are required to support the conclusions of the paper. There is no specific word limit for this section, but details of experiments that are peripheral to the main thrust of the article and that detract from the focus of the article should not be included. The section may be divided into subsections, each with a concise subheading. The section should be written in the past tense. Discussion The Discussion should spell out the major conclusions of the work along with some explanation or speculation on the significance of these conclusions. How do the conclusions affect the existing assumptions and models in the field? How can future research build on these observations? What are the key experiments that must be done. The Discussion should be concise and tightly argued. The Results and Discussion may be combined into one section, if desired. Journal of Toxicology and Molecular Biology Keywords Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. Abbreviations Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article. Acknowledgements Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.). Those who contributed to the work but do not meet our authorship criteria should be listed in the Acknowledgments with a description of the contribution. Authors are responsible for ensuring that anyone named in the Acknowledgments agrees to be named. Do not include funding sources in the Acknowledgments Formatting of funding sources List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance to funder's requirements: Funding: This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, WA [grant number zzzz]; and the United States Institutes of Peace [grant number aaaa]. It is not necessary to include detailed descriptions on the program or type of grants and awards. When funding is from a block grant or other resources available to a university, college, or other research institution, submit the name of the institute or organization that provided the funding. If no funding has been provided for the research, please include the following sentence: This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
