ARCHIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (ISSN 0090-4341) is a prestigious monthly peer-reviewed journal published by Springer in the United States, dedicated to advancing scientific understanding in the fields of environmental pollution and toxicology. The journal publishes high-quality original research encompassing both laboratory and field studies, with a particular focus on the ecotoxicological effects, bioaccumulation, environmental behavior, and risk assessment of chemical pollutants, heavy metals, and pesticides. As an SCI-indexed publication, it maintains a solid reputation for rigorous editorial standards and strict review processes, offering a competitive yet accessible platform for researchers in the field. With an impact factor typically ranging between 2.5 and 3.0 in recent years, the journal is classified within the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranking for environmental science and ecology. While its non-open access status may limit immediate global accessibility and its CAS ranking may influence domestic evaluation metrics in certain regions, its established standing in the international community ensures that it remains a valuable outlet for disseminating significant contributions to environmental health and toxicology.
