About the journal
Reproductive Toxicology
Drawing from a large number of disciplines, Reproductive Toxicology publishes timely, original research on the influence of chemical and physical agents on reproduction. Written by and for obstetricians, pediatricians, embryologists, teratologists, geneticists, toxicologists, andrologists, and others interested in detecting potential reproductive hazards, the journal is a forum for communication among researchers and practitioners. Articles focus on the application of in vitro, animal and clinical research to the practice of clinical medicine.
All aspects of reproduction are within the scope of Reproductive Toxicology, including the formation and maturation of male and female gametes, sexual function, the events surrounding the fusion of gametes and the development of the fertilized ovum, nourishment and transport of the conceptus within the genital tract, implantation, embryogenesis, intrauterine growth, placentation and placental function, parturition, lactation and neonatal survival. Adverse reproductive effects in males will be considered as significant as adverse effects occurring in females. To provide a balanced presentation of approaches, equal emphasis will be given to clinical and animal or in vitro work. Typical end points that will be studied by contributors include infertility, sexual dysfunction, spontaneous abortion, malformations, abnormal histogenesis, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity, behavioral abnormalities, and perinatal mortality.
In addition to original research articles, Reproductive Toxicology also publishes interpretative review articles, editorials, letters, book reviews, and conference announcements. The first section of each issue of the journal is devoted to an in-depth, timely review of research on the effect of particular chemical or physical agents on reproduction. Potential authors are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief before submitting such a review.

Full-length papers should be submitted in English with an abstract briefly summarizing the essential contents. The original manuscript (including figure captions and references) and 2 complete copies of the manuscript and figures should be submitted with one set of camera-ready figures or photographs (original artwork or glossy prints). Manuscripts should be accompanied by (a) a cover letter including the name, address, E-Mail Address, FAX number, and phone number of the author to whom correspondence should be sent; (b) copies of any published reports that may duplicate material in the submitted manuscript; and (c) written permission of author(s), and publisher(s) to use any previously published material (figures, tables, or quotations of more than 100 words). Authors should retain an additional copy of the manuscript and figures for their own files. Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, a copyright transfer will be sent to the author(s). This transfer must be signed and dated by all authors and returned to the Editor-in-Chief. The corresponding author of each article will receive 25 complimentary reprints.
Letters to the Editor. Letters dealing with published articles or matters of interest to the reproductive toxicology field are invited. Letters should be short (not more than 400 words), typed double-spaced, and should include references where appropriate. Where a published article is involved, the original author(s) will be invited to submit a response.
Reviews and Book Reviews. Authors are invited to submit suggestions for subject reviews and book reviews to the Editorial Office. Please contact the Editorial Office before beginning work on review articles.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
The journal generally conforms to the CBE Style Manual (5th ed.) by Council of Biology Editors, Inc. (Council of Biology Editors, Inc., Bethesda, MD 20814 USA; 1983). Organize the manuscript in the order indicated below, with each component beginning on a separate page and with a running title and page number typed in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
Submission on Disk after Acceptance for Publication. Elsevier Science now publishes all manuscripts using electronic production methods and strongly encourages submission on disk. Please send the electronic files of your article along with the hardcopy of the accepted version. To ensure fast and eassy processing of your submission, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Save text and graphics on separate disks.
- Label all disks with your name, a short version of the article title, the journal to be published in, and the filenames. Please also include details of the software and platform (PC, Mac, UNIX etc) used to create your files.
- Ensure that the files on the disk match the hardcopy exactly. In cases of a discrepancy, the hardcopy version will be used as the definitive version.
Electronic Submission of Artwork and Graphic files. The following are preferred formats: TIFF (1-bit for line art, 8-bit for greyscale, and 24 (32)-bit for colour images) and EPS (PS or PDF). You may also supply in the following native formats: Adobe Photoshop?/SUP>, Adobe Illustrator?/SUP>, CorelDRAW?/SUP>, Macromedia?/SUP> FreeHand?/SUP> and CS ChemDraw?/SUP>. Bitmap and vector graphics should be supplied separately together with instructions on the composition of the image. All graphic files must be submitted in sufficiently high resolution (300 x 300 dpi for grayscale or colour images and 1000 X 1000 dpi for line art) to allow for printing. All fonts used in studio created artwork must be either "embedded" in the file or supplied separately. For further details please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork .
Title Page. Page 1 should include: (a) the title of the article; (b) the authors' full names (First name, middle initial(s), surname); (c) affiliations (the name of department (if any), institution, city, and state or county where the work was done), indicating which authors are associated with which affiliations; (d) acknowledgments of grant support and of individuals who were of direct help in the preparation of the study; (e) the name, address, E-Mail Address, FAX number, and telephone number of the author to whom reprint requests are to be sent; and (f) running title (not more than 30 spaces).
Abstract and Key Words. Page 2 should include the title of the article followed by the abstract, which should have no more than 150 words. The abstract should state the purpose of the study, basic procedures, most important findings, and principal conclusions, with an emphasis on the new aspects of the study. Following the abstract, list 8 key words or phrases for indexing. Abstracts are not used in review articles.
