Journal Indexing

Discoverability support for toxicology research and safety evidence.

Journal of Experimental and Clinical Toxicology supports discoverability through DOI registration, structured metadata, and accurate citation linking.

High quality metadata ensures toxicology research can be found by clinicians, regulators, and safety professionals.

• Use clear titles with toxicology keywords
• Provide structured abstracts with outcomes
• Include 5 to 8 targeted keywords
• List ORCID identifiers for all authors
• Provide complete funding and affiliation details
• Include DOI links in references when available
• Confirm trial or registry identifiers

Authors play a direct role in indexing success by supplying accurate references and consistent terminology.

• Use consistent chemical names and identifiers
• Include exposure units and biomarker terms
• Provide standardized outcome measures
• Confirm corresponding author contact details
• Include data repository accession numbers

These steps improve indexing accuracy for toxicology research.

• Align keywords with exposure and outcome terms
• Report species or population in the abstract
• Use standardized assay names
• Provide chemical registry numbers when possible
• Verify citation formatting and DOI accuracy
• Confirm author affiliations and ORCID IDs
• Include clinical trial identifiers when applicable
• Ensure references match in text citations
• Provide funding acknowledgements clearly
• Check for consistent use of abbreviations

For questions about scope, data reporting, or compliance, contact the editorial team for guidance before submission.

Consistent metadata ensures reliable indexing.

• Ensure consistent author order across files
• Use standard units in abstracts
• Provide clear study design labels
• Report primary outcomes in the abstract
• Include chemical registry numbers when possible
• Check spelling of organism or population names
• Confirm keywords align with toxicology databases
• Verify references for accuracy and completeness
• Use consistent terminology in conclusions
• Include funder identifiers if available

Thoughtful keyword selection improves discoverability.

• Include chemical identifiers and exposure terms
• Use standardized toxicology terminology
• Include organism or population descriptors
• Add clinical outcome keywords
• Include regulatory or guideline terms when relevant
• Add assay or method names
• Use biomarker names or abbreviations
• Include environmental or occupational context
• Specify the toxic agent class
• Use terms aligned with indexing databases
• Avoid overly broad or vague keywords
• Ensure keywords appear in the abstract

Accurate citations strengthen metadata linking.

• Verify journal titles and abbreviations
• Provide DOIs for cited articles
• Include full author lists where required
• Check year and volume accuracy
• Confirm URLs for datasets
• Ensure consistent citation style
• Avoid citing retracted studies
• Include regulatory references where appropriate

Indexing success depends on complete, accurate metadata. JECT emphasizes structured abstracts, descriptive titles, and standardized keywords so toxicology evidence can be retrieved by clinicians, regulators, and safety scientists.

Authors can improve discoverability by using consistent chemical identifiers, specifying exposure routes, and reporting primary outcomes in the abstract. These practices strengthen search results and ensure that studies are properly linked across databases.

Accurate citation data also supports indexing quality. Verify DOIs, author names, and journal details to avoid metadata errors that can reduce visibility or misattribute work.

Small metadata choices can improve discovery.

• Use consistent capitalization in keywords
• Include exposure routes in the abstract
• Highlight primary outcomes in the first paragraph
• Provide clear author affiliations
• Confirm chemical identifiers in title or keywords
• Avoid unexplained acronyms

These checks reduce indexing errors.

• Confirm author names match ORCID profiles
• Verify titles and subtitles across files
• Check that keywords appear in the abstract
• Ensure chemical names are spelled consistently
• Confirm funding details in metadata
• Review DOI formatting in references
