The November 2014, Vol. 142, No. 1 issue of Toxicological Sciences (ToxSci) is now available online. To have the email Table of Contents (eTOC) alerts delivered to you as well as Advance Access notification of the latest papers and research in Toxicological Sciences as soon as they are accepted and posted to the website, register online.
This issue includes an Editorial on the addition of Contemporary Reviews in Toxicology by Editor-in-Chief Gary W. Miller and Associate Editor Jeffrey A. Johnson. An excerpt from this Editorial is provided in the blog ToxSci to Publish Contemporary Reviews in Toxicology Because the Field Needs Them.
In this month's Look Inside ToxSci, Dr. Miller notes that "I started composing these highlights while attending EUROTOX 2104 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Attending this meeting reminded me that Toxicological Sciences, while based in the US, is here to serve the entire toxicology community. By way of example, this issue contains papers from the US, Spain, Germany, China, Egypt, Portugal, Japan, and the U.K. Mechanistic pathways are generally not up for debate, but how we use the data in these pages to regulate products and processes does involve interpretation and is influenced by the political and cultural landscape. Examining environmental, toxicological, and regulatory challenges from the lenses of different cultures helps avoid provincial thinking. We welcome submissions from our colleagues around the globe. The field benefits from such a global perspective and the collective wisdom that it brings. I invite you to Look Inside ToxSci for the best original research in the field of toxicology." The four highlighted papers in this issue are provided below.
