Human and Experimental Toxicology

Human and Experimental Toxicology is the international peer-reviewed journal of the British Toxicology Society for human and experimental toxicology. Founded in 1981 (continuing earlier titles in the field) and edited for much of its early run by Paul Turner (St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School), the journal carries original research, reviews, and short communications across the toxicological-science spectrum.

Editorial scope spans regulatory toxicology and risk assessment, environmental and occupational toxicology, the toxicology of drugs and drug development (preclinical safety, clinical poisoning, drug-induced organ injury), molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxicity, in-vitro and in-silico alternatives to animal testing, the toxicology of metals and industrial chemicals, and the clinical management of poisoning. The journal has been a long-standing venue for British and European toxicology research alongside the North American journals in the field.

Transferred to SAGE Publications in the 2006 Hodder Arnold journal-list sale, Human and Experimental Toxicology has continued without editorial disruption and remains among the most-cited toxicology journals in current Scopus and Web of Science indexing.
