Toxicon

期刊简介：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.

【译文】Toxicon是一本开放获取的镜像期刊，与Toxicon: X共享相同的宗旨和范围、编辑团队、投稿系统和严格的同行评审。Toxicon的宗旨和范围包括发表以下内容：-关于动物、植物和微生物来源的毒素相关问题的原创研究结果的论文；-关于天然毒素的化学、药理学、毒理学和免疫学特性的新发现论文；-关于有毒和有毒生物体中的毒素和其他基因的分子生物学研究，这些研究有助于理解毒素的作用或功能；-关于中毒和咬伤的临床观察，其中提出了新的治疗原则或获得了明显优于临床的结果。-关于将毒素作为研究生物过程工具的使用以及与毒液和抗毒血清问题相关的材料。-关于毒素的转化应用论文，例如作为药物和杀虫剂的文章；-关于咬伤或中毒的流行病学研究，只要它们强调了一个以前未被认识到的医学问题或为预防或治疗咬伤或中毒提供了见解。医院记录的回顾性调查，特别是那些缺乏物种鉴定的记录，将不会考虑发表。强烈鼓励设计良好的基于社区的预期调查。-描述已知毒液活动（如蜘蛛毒液的抗菌、抗癌和镇痛活性）的论文，但没有任何试图定义作用机制或纯化活性成分的尝试，将不会考虑在Toxicon上发表。-关于毒素学问题的综述文章。为了鼓励思想交流，期刊的部分章节可能致力于短篇通讯、编者信和附属学会的活动。
