Journal of Applied Toxicology publishes reviews and research articles on mechanistic, fundamental and applied research relating to the toxicity of drugs and chemicals at the molecular, cellular, tissue, target organ and whole body level in vivo (by all routes of exposure) and in vitro / ex vivo . Focus is on toxicogenomics and proteomics, teratogenesis / developmental / reproductive toxicology, carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, pharmacokinetics, pharmacotoxicological and metabolic mechanisms, risk assessment, environmental toxicology and environmental health as applied to humans (including epidemiological studies).

In addition Journal of Applied Toxicology also publishes analytical and method development studies, mechanistic and molecular toxicology studies on novel or existing drugs and chemicals, addressing important or topical aspects of toxicology. Special emphasis is given to papers of clear relevance to human health and regulatory pharmaceutical / chemical toxicology.
