Propose a Special Issue
Lead a focused toxicology research collection.
Guest Editor Opportunity
Experimental and Clinical Toxicology invites proposals for Special Issues addressing emerging topics, significant developments, and underserved areas within toxicology research requiring focused scholarly attention.
Special Issues gather related research into thematic collections with enhanced visibility and impact. Guest Editors provide intellectual leadership shaping collection scope, recruiting contributions, and ensuring cohesive scientific narrative. These focused collections attract targeted readership and demonstrate community interest in emerging research directions.
Successful Special Issues become cited reference points for their research areas, providing comprehensive coverage that individual articles cannot achieve. The collection format enables deeper exploration of complex topics through multiple complementary perspectives and methodological approaches.
Guest Editor Recognition
Named as Guest Editor across all promotional materials and collection landing pages. Publish invited editorial providing scholarly context and synthesis. Recognition enhances professional visibility and demonstrates research leadership.
Collection Visibility
Dedicated collection page with distinct branding and navigation. Featured promotion through journal channels including website, newsletters, and social media reaching toxicology research community.
Editorial Autonomy
Guest Editors define collection scope, invite contributors, and guide peer review process with journal editorial support. Shape research agenda for your specialty area through curated collection development.
We welcome proposals addressing significant developments in toxicology research. Priority areas include emerging environmental contaminants such as PFAS, microplastics, and nanomaterials. Alternative testing methodologies supporting 3Rs principles and regulatory acceptance receive strong interest. Computational toxicology approaches including QSAR, read-across, and machine learning applications represent growing importance.
Clinical and regulatory toxicology topics are also welcome, including adverse outcome pathways, organ-specific toxicity mechanisms, biomarker development, and translational applications. Cross-disciplinary proposals connecting toxicology with epidemiology, exposure science, or public health are encouraged where they advance understanding of toxic substance effects.
Topic Justification
Explain topic timeliness, significance, and why focused collection is warranted. Identify target audience and anticipated contribution to toxicology field. Describe gap or need the collection addresses.
Guest Editor Credentials
Provide CV highlighting relevant expertise and publication record. Prior editorial experience is valued but not required. Demonstrate active engagement with proposed topic area.
Preliminary Outline
List anticipated article topics and potential contributors if known. Provide realistic timeline for call announcement, submission deadline, and publication target.
Guest Editor APC: Guest Editors publishing in their own Special Issues receive automatic APC waiver for personal contributions recognizing volunteer editorial service.
Submit proposals to [email protected] with subject line "Special Issue Proposal." Editorial board reviews proposals for topic significance, timeliness, and feasibility. Decisions typically provided within 2-3 weeks. Approved proposals proceed to formal agreement and call announcement.
