Happy new year from Toxicology Research

Welcome to the first issue of Toxicology Research of 2013.

Looking back on 2012

Since the first issue of Toxicology Research was published, in July 2012, the journal has pursued its aim to be a global forum for high quality toxicology research. In line with this objective we have looked to publish a range of high quality reviews and primary research articles that showcase international excellence in toxicology. Highlights included the very first article published in the journal: ‘Epigenetics – relevance to drug safety science’ by Catherine C. Priestley et al. (DOI: 10.1039/C2TX00003B) and ‘Role of innate and adaptive immunity during drug-induced liver injury’ by C. David Williams and Hartmut Jaeschke (DOI: 10.1039/C2TX20032E). We would like to thank all of our authors, referees and readers for their support in 2012.

A bright start to 2013

At Toxicology Research we are starting the year as we mean to go on with a great selection of articles from internationally respected scientists, including ‘Novel in vitro and mathematical models for the prediction of chemical toxicity’ by Dominic P. Williams et al. (DOI: 10.1039/C2TX20031G) and ‘Assessing confidence in predictions made by knowledge-based systems’ by Philip N. Judson et al. (DOI: 10.1039/C2TX20037F). Don't forget that these and all other articles published in 2012 and 2013 are free to view to all.

There are many ways to keep up to date with the latest articles throughout the year, including contents alerts, the Toxicology Research newsletter, the journal blog and our Twitter feed.†

Working with our society partners

We are proud that Toxicology Research is the official journal of the British Toxicology Society (BTS) and the Chinese Society of Toxicology (CST). These are key partnerships for the journal, as both the BTS and CST share our goal of advancing the science of toxicology on the international stage.
