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.

Abstract-
A 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

References
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and
vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results
and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be
mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow
the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication
date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as
'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Web reference
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last
accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source
publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after
the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference
list.
