Evidence synthesis examining toxicological endpoints, exposure-response relationships, or comparative toxicity assessments across studies.

Mini-Reviews

Concise summaries of emerging topics or recent advances in specific areas of toxicology.

Short Communications & Rapid Communications

Preliminary findings, novel observations, or rapid reports of emerging toxicological concerns requiring immediate dissemination.

Clinical Case Reports

Detailed documentation of unique toxicity cases, unusual exposure scenarios, or novel clinical presentations of poisoning.

Clinical Trials

Prospective studies evaluating interventions, treatments, or preventive measures for toxic exposures or poisoning.

Letters

Concise communications on recent publications, methodological issues, or emerging concerns in toxicology.

Editorials

Invited commentary on current topics, policy issues, or significant advances in the field of toxicology.

Commentaries

Critical perspectives on recent research, policy developments, or methodological approaches in toxicology.
