| Aims and Scope of the Journal |
The Australasian Journal of Ecotoxicology is an international journal published three times a year by the Australasian Society for Ecotoxicology. It is dedicated to publishing scientifically sound research articles dealing with all aspects of ecotoxicology. This includes acute and chronic toxicity studies measuring lethal and sublethal responses, ecological impact studies pertaining to ecotoxicology, studies relating to the mechanism of chemical toxicity, discussion of ecotoxicological theory and use of ecotoxicology information to develop and validate environmental criteria. Studies at all levels of biological organisation will be considered: from (sub-)cellular and individual organisms to population and community studies. All data must be generated by statistically and analytically sound research and all papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers prior to their being considered for publication. There are no page charges.
