About the journal
|
Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods publishes original articles on current methods of investigation used in pharmacology and toxicology. Pharmacology and toxicology are defined in the broadest sense, referring to actions of drugs and chemicals on all living systems. With its international editorial board and noted contributors, Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods is the leading journal devoted exclusively to experimental procedures used by pharmacologists and toxicologists.

Instructions to Authors
Publication Policy.
The Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods is an international journal. We publish papers concerning all aspects of the methodology of pharmacology and toxicology:
- Description and characterization of a new or modified disease model, method, technique, apparatus or approach to analysis of data;
- "Brief communications" detailing simple modifications of an existing model, method, technique, apparatus or approach to analysis of data;
- "How To" articles that provide step-by-step guidance on the execution of specific techniques.
- Characterization of species-dependence of drug actions from a "model relevance" perspective;
- "Appraisal of state-of-the-art" or "Historical review" of particular models, methods, techniques or apparatus.
Papers focused on the actions of drugs are beyond the scope of the journal. Manuscripts will be evaluated by a member of the board of editors of the Journal, and a panel of international reviewers. An editorial decision will normally be made within 4 weeks of receipt of the manuscript, and publication will normally take place within 3 months of final acceptance.
Preparation of Manuscripts.
The manuscript should be typed double-spaced throughout. The following format should be used, although for "appraisal of state of the art" or review articles the titles of sections may be varied according to author judgment.
- Title page: This should include the title (no more than 120 characters), a short title for the running head, name(s) of author(s), place(s) where the work was undertaken, name address phone fax and email of corresponding author and (if appropriate) the current address of co-authors.
- Abstract: This must not exceed 300 words and should be subdivided into four subsections headed: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion.
- Key terms: Up to 10, in alphabetical order. This should include the species studied, and the word "methods".
- After the abstract the text should be numbered in sections from 1. Introduction, with subsections (e.g., 2.1. Statement on use and care of animals) as appropriate.
- In the text, the referencing style should be author names and year, not numbers (e.g., Zamora 2002; Zamora and Stant 2001; for 3 or more authors: Rogers et al., 2001).
- Introduction: This must outline the reason for the study and justify the approach taken.
- Methods: This section must begin with a statement of ethical approval by a domestic regulatory authority, or (if human subjects are used) the Declaration of Helsinki (Brit Med J 1964; ii:177). Methods should be sufficiently detailed to permit the reader to replicate the study. Published methods should be described in brief with appropriate citation. Full details of the experimental material should be given (including type and source of materials).
- Results: This section should be concise and must not contain repetition of the methods. Data in the text must not replicate data in tables or figures. SI units must be used.
- Discussion: The potential value of the data to pharmacological or toxicological research methods must be clearly explained, with appropriate reference to existing methods and their limitations. This section must not contain paragraphs dealing with topics that are beyond the scope of the study.

Submission of Manuscripts.
In order to eliminate Author's printing costs and maintain an environmentally friendly paper-free editorial office, we encourage submission of manuscripts as email attachments (send to michael.curtis@kcl.ac.uk, see website http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork ). For PC, The preferred format is Microsoft Word, but we can also handle Microsoft Works, WordPerfect, WordStar and WordStar 2000. For the Macintosh: Microsoft Word and WordPerfect are acceptable. Additionally, figures should be pasted in at the end of the text document for the benefit of manuscript reviewers. If email submission is not possible, the manuscript may be submitted by post, in the same format, on a standard floppy disc. Manuscripts will subsequently undergo rapid transmission to appropriate editor and reviewers by email, with the intention of significantly reducing the time taken for decision on acceptance, and publication time. A cover letter must be posted to M.J. Curtis PhD, Editor-in-chief, JPT Methods, The Centre for Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine, The Rayne Institute, St Thomas' Hospital, London SE1 7EH, UK. This must be signed by all the authors and state that "the manuscript contents are original and have not already been published or accepted for publication, either in whole or part. No part of the manuscript is under consideration for publication elsewhere and will not be submitted elsewhere if accepted by Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods." Two paper copies of accepted articles will be required after peer review is completed.
