NeuroToxicology specializes in publishing the best peer-reviewed original research papers dealing with the effects of toxic substances on the nervous system of humans and experimental animals of all ages. The Journal emphasizes papers dealing with the neurotoxic effects of environmentally significant chemical hazards, manufactured drugs and naturally occurring compounds. Papers dealing with the effects of neurotoxicants on other systems (e.g., reproductive, endocrine, immune) or processes (e.g., metabolic) are also welcome.
NeuroToxicology recognizes the diverse backgrounds and interests of scientists who work in these areas and encourages the participation of all. Areas of special emphasis and interest -- both basic and applied -- have been identified; they include: neuropathology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neurology, behavioral toxicology, development neurotoxicology, psychiatry, toxicology, epidemiology, psychology, neuroteratology, behavioral teratology, risk assessment and regulatory issues. Papers reporting interdisciplinary studies are especially welcome. Papers reporting any effects of known neurotoxicants are welcome.
NeuroToxicology will publish papers containing Original Research, Brief Communications, Reviews, Letters to the Editor, Teaching Monographs, Forum "Position Papers," Commentaries, Book Reviews, and Features. Periodically, the Journal will also publish Announcements, Abstracts and Proceedings of Meetings.
Original Research. Articles will contain laboratory or clinical scientific research pertaining to neurotoxicology. Economy of style is encouraged, although papers may be as long as short as the findings justify. Illustrations should make significant points. Excessive or repetitive illustrations will not be published.
Brief Communications. NeuroToxicology will publish brief reports of work that has progressed to the stage at which it is considered that the science of neurotoxicology would be advanced if the results were made available as soon as possible. These reports should be no longer than six pages in the present format of NeuroToxicology. Authors should submit reports of this category of publication only when they believe that the rapid world-wide communication of the results is of the utmost importance to other investigators.
Reviews. Review papers will summarize and critically analyze topics of current interest in neurotoxicology. Authors should keep in mind the diverse backgrounds of the readers of this interdisciplinary Journal.
Letters to the Editor. Letters to the Editor may be up to 500 words in length, responding to material in NeuroToxicology, introducing a new point of view, or discussing a topic of current concern. Letters will be subject to the same review process as Original Research articles and Reviews. Any letter responding to a previous publication may be submitted to the author of the original paper in order that any reply may be published simultaneously with the letter. Letters should be received within two months of mailing of the Journal.
Teaching Monographs. The format and length of monographs will be the prerogative of the author. The subject matter should be of broad interest due to the diverse backgrounds of the readership. The contents should be aimed at the level of a senior graduate student in neurosciences or toxicology. Teaching illustrations are encouraged.
Forum. The Forum section of the Journal will address, discuss, and present position papers on current issues in neurotoxicology. Replies will be invited from all sectors of society; they include: chemical industries, pharmaceutical industries, governmental regulatory agencies, other governmental groups, academic institutions, as well as consumers and special interest groups. The format will be flexible. Letters responding to a position paper in the Forum section will be submitted to the author of the position paper in order that any reply may be published simultaneously with the Letter. Letters should be received within two months of mailing of the Journal.
Announcements, Abstracts, Proceedings. NeuroToxicology will accept for publication announcements, abstracts, or capsulized proceedings of meetings, symposia or other matters of interest to the subscriber of NeuroToxicology.
Submission of Manuscripts. Submissions considered for publication are received with the understanding that they have not previously appeared elsewhere in any but abstract form and are not simultaneously being submitted to another journal. All articles are subject to review by two or more experienced referees. Decisions of the Editor-in-Chief are final.
General Points. Enclose a covering letter indicating the corresponding author and provide address, telephone, fax number and e-mail address. For manuscripts dealing with experimental work involving human subjects, specify that informed consent was obtained following a full explanation of the procedures to be undertaken.
Manuscript Preparation. The preferred medium of final submission to the accepting editor is on disk with accompanying reviewed and revised manuscript (see 'Electronic Manuscript'). Manuscripts should be in the English language and should be typewritten with double spacing on one side of the paper only. Submit four high quality copies of the manuscripts and of all submissions including letters.
Original Articles should be divided into headed sections in the following order: Title Page (Page 1), Abstract and Key Words, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion (and Conclusions), Acknowledgments, References, Tables and Figure Legends. Letters should contain no headings, but a title may be suggested. Form for Reviews and Teaching Monographs will be left to the discretion of the author.
Title Page. Page 1 of the manuscript should contain the title (upper case), the name(s) of author(s), institutional affiliation(s) of author(s), name and mailing address, telephone, fax number and e-mail address of person(s) receiving reprints.
Abstract Page. For Research papers only. Page 2 should contain a concise summary not to exceed 300 words. A list of 3-6 key words or short phrases suitable for indexing terms should be typed at the bottom of the Abstract Page.
Footnotes. Avoid or use sparingly. Identify in the text with superscript numerals, numbered consecutively. Copy for footnotes should be typed double-spaced and inserted immediately after the Abstract Page.
Materials and Methods. Avoid excessively detailed description and unnecessary literature citations of widely used techniques. Instead, explain concisely and briefly each method, aiming to reach the broad readership of Journal. Delineate new procedures in full. State source of all materials under investigation and, if applicable, the exact strain and source of animal used.
Results. Describe experimental and control data obtained. Present data in tabular or graphic form where possible. Do not describe illustrations in text or repeat text information in figure legend(s).
References. Cite authors in text as follows: e.g. (Woolley, 1973), (Schneider and Norton, 1974), (Takeuchi et al., 1974), (Griffin et al., 1973a,b.) List in alphabetical order, double-spaced, starting on a separate page.

Tables. Tables should be numbered and headed with short titles. Tables should be typed on separate sheets and the preferred point of insertion noted in the text by listing the table number in the left hand margin. No tables too large to be printed on one page should be included.
Figure Legends. Copy for figure legends should be typed double-spaced in consecutive order on the page(s) and inserted immediately after Tables.
Illustrations. Line drawings (including graphs) should be drawn in black ink on white paper or on tracing paper with blue or faint grey rulings; graduation will not be reproduced. Lettering should be large enough to permit photographic reduction. If figures are not to be reduced their format should not exceed 13.0 X 20 cm.
Photographs (or half-tone illustrations) must be of good quality, submitted as black and white prints on glossy paper, and have as much contrast as possible. The degree of reduction will be determined by the publisher, but in general it should be assumed that the same degree of reduction will be applied to all figures in the same paper. For photomicrographs, where possible, a scale should appear on the photograph. Color plates will be reproduced at the expense of the author(s).
Illustrations should be clearly marked on the reverse side with the number, orientation (top) and author's name; a soft pencil or preferably a felt-tipped pen should be used for marking photographs. The illustrations should be numbered with Arabic numerals. The legends should be typed separately.
Authors are encouraged to submit illustrations electronically with the hard copy. Submitting illustrations in an electronic format helps Elsevier to produce an author's work to the best possible standards ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail. For more detailed specifications on submitting electronic illustrations, please see the following webpage: http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/authorartwork .
Nomenclature. For styling of isotope, enzyme, and biochemical nomenclature, consult the Information for Authors of the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics.
Units and Abbreviations. Units will be in general accordance with the International System (SI) as adopted by the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures. Note that the abbreviations for a unit is never followed by a full stop, e.g. 10glL, 5 pmpl, 2mM. Do not use full stops in abbreviations with capital letters, e.g. DNA. For case abbreviations use full stops, e.g. i.v.,s.c. All other words to be abbreviated should be written in full when they appear in the text and be followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.
Electronic manuscripts. Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs.
Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes (3?or 5?inch) are acceptable. Please do not split the article into separate files (title page as one file, text as another, etc.). Ensure that the letter "l" and digit "l" (also letter "O" and digit "0") have been used properly, and structure your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your wordprocessor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha, @, #, etc., for the Greek letter). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text. Please make a list of such codes and provide a key. Do not allow your wordprocessor to introduce word splits and do not use a "justified" layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions on style/arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal. It is very important that you save your file in the wordprocessor format. If your wordprocessor features the option to save files "in flat ASCII", please do not use it. Format your disk correctly and ensure that only the relevant file (one complete article only) is on the disk. Also, specify the type of computer and wordprocessing package used and label the disk with your name and the name of the file on the disk. After final acceptance, your disk plus one, final, printed and exactly matching version (as a printout) should be submitted together to the accepting Editor. It is important that the file on disk and the printout are identical. Both will then be forwarded by the Editor to Elsevier. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.
Submission on Disk after Acceptance for Publication. Elsevier Science now publishes all manuscripts using electronic production methods and strongly encourages submission on disk. Please send the electronic files of your article along with the hardcopy of the accepted version. To ensure fast and easy processing of your submission, please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Save text and graphics on separate disks.
2. Label all disks with your name, a short version of the article title, the journal to be published in, and the filenames. Please also include details of the software and platform (PC, Mac, UNIX, etc) used to create your files.
3. Ensure that the files on the disk match the hardcopy exactly. In cases of a discrepancy, the hardcopy version will be used as the definitive version.
Electronic submission. Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from http://authors.elsevier.com .
Reprints. Reprints may be ordered with the form which accompanies final page proofs.
Page Charges. A page charge of $25.00 per printed page will be assessed to cover part of the publication cost.
Authors enquiries. Authors can keep a track of the progress of their accepted article on the Internet on our Author Gateway (go to http://authors.elsevier.com/ ).
