Since its inception in 1977, the Journal of Analytical Toxicology has striven to present state-of-the art techniques used in toxicology labs. The peer-review process provided by the distinguished members of the Editorial Advisory Board ensures the high quality and integrity of the Journal of Analytical Toxicology articles. Timely presentation of the latest toxicology developments is ensured through ¡°Technical Notes¡±, ¡°Case Reports¡±, and ¡°Letters to the Editor¡±. CONTENT: With an emphasis on practical application, articles provided in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology introduce improved and new techniques for use in a variety of toxicology lab settings. The toxicology testing methods are generally applicable to the fields of clinical and forensic toxicology, environmental toxicology, industrial toxicology, therapeutic drug monitoring, and drug abuse testing. The articles published in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology describe the chemical analysis of prescription drugs, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and environmental toxins. It also contains information about known and recently identified poisons. Instructions to Authors Purpose The Journal accepts original, full-length manuscripts, short communications, and commissioned review articles relating to the isolation, identification, quantitation, and interpretation of potentially toxic substances and their biotransformation products in specimens of human, animal, or environmental origin. The articles should pertain especially to the monitoring of drugs and therapeutic agents and environmental and industrial contaminants, clinical reports of poisonings (with analytical data), the development of analytical techniques, and the interpretation of the results of toxicological investigations. The methods should be applicable to the fields of forensic science, therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs-of-abuse testing, clinical and forensic toxicology, and industrial hygiene. The Journal is published eight times per year in January/February, March, April, May/June, July/August, September, October (Society of Forensic Toxicologists?Special Issue), and November/December.

Back to the top Abstracts Each manuscript, with the exception of short technical notes and letters to the Editor, must be accompanied by an abstract of 200 words or less stating, in a short, concise manner, the objectives of the study, the techniques used, and what was accomplished. The abstract will be transferred in its entirety to abstracting services such as PubMed (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed). Text Articles should be organized using the following headings: Introduction, Experimental, Apparatus, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments, and References. The text should describe the equipment and method(s) in sufficient detail to permit duplication of the results. Abbreviations and Units Abbreviations that are accepted and recognized as common scientific terminology may be used without definition. All nonstandard abbreviations should be defined at that point in the text where they first appear. The international system of units (IUPAC) is the preferred system for expressing measurements. Some examples of the abbreviations for these units are: Area: m2, cm2, mm2 Length: m, cm, mm Mass: kg, g, mg, µg, ng, pg Mass concentration: g/L, mg/L, µg/L Volume: L, mL, µL The preferred concentration units for volatiles such as ethanol are g/100 mL, g/dL, or mg/dL. Figures Graphs, diagrams, chromatograms, photos, etc. should be prepared as clear, black and white (no color), original positives, suitable for reproduction. All graphs should be produced in two dimensions. Glossy prints or high-resolution (600 dpi minimum) laser prints are preferred. (See Electronic Submissions section for digital format information.) Captions will be typeset and should be clearly indicated on a separate piece of paper. Only one original set of artwork is necessary, and photocopies are acceptable for informational purposes. The editorial offices should be advised if original artwork is to be returned. Digitally enhanced data should be accompanied by a set of original data. Tables and Equations Tables should be submitted on a separate piece of paper and not placed within the text. (See Electronic Submissions section for digital format information.) Tables are typically reserved for tabulation of numerical data; other information should be included in the text. Equations should be typed clearly showing superscripts and subscripts. The equations should be marked Eq. 1, Eq. 2, etc. Method Validation All analytical methods described must be validated. This includes, when appropriate, the assessment of intra- and inter- accuracy and precision, recovery, limits of detection (sensitivity) and quantitation, range of linearity, specificity and stability. When appropriate, methodology papers should include clinical data. Authentic samples must be analyzed and their sources described, and relevant data should be presented.
