Abstract
As I complete my first 2 years as the editor of Toxicological Sciences, I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made and the ongoing challenges we face. I intended to focus on the mission of the journal and our influence on the field. However, during the time I was preparing this editorial, the Thomsom Reuter’s 2015 impact factor was released, and I thought it would be useful to discuss the results and provide my interpretation. Although evaluation of journals is important, I continue to be perplexed at how the enterprise of scholarly publishing has become so hung up on a single metric of journal quality. Thus, this piece will focus on the ways one evaluates the quality of the journal and what we are doing to make Toxicological Sciences as influential as possible.
期刊介绍：
The mission of Toxicological Sciences, the official journal of the Society of Toxicology, is to publish a broad spectrum of impactful research in the field of toxicology.
The primary focus of Toxicological Sciences is on original research articles. The journal also provides expert insight via contemporary and systematic reviews, as well as forum articles and editorial content that addresses important topics in the field.
The scope of Toxicological Sciences is focused on a broad spectrum of impactful toxicological research that will advance the multidisciplinary field of toxicology ranging from basic research to model development and application, and decision making. Submissions will include diverse technologies and approaches including, but not limited to: bioinformatics and computational biology, biochemistry, exposure science, histopathology, mass spectrometry, molecular biology, population-based sciences, tissue and cell-based systems, and whole-animal studies. Integrative approaches that combine realistic exposure scenarios with impactful analyses that move the field forward are encouraged.
