When appropriate, the Journal dedicates entire issues to timely topics of interest to the toxicology community. In the past, these Special Issues have addressed such subjects as Emergency Toxicology, Sports Doping, and Chemical Warfare Agents.
In addition, each year, JAT publishes a Special Issue, usually October, in conjunction with the Society of Forensic Toxicologists and their annual meeting.
Upcoming Special Issue
Testing and Interpretation in Sports: Review, Research, and Commentary
Special Issue Editors: Dennis J. Crouch and Yale H. Caplan
The dynamic and expanding nature of drug use in competitive and non-competitive sports warrants a review of target drugs, including steroids, and the ever-changing analytical methods evolving to accommodate use patterns. Focus is also on interpreting and understanding the complex metabolism of these agents and its role in defining drug use and the mechanisms for abuse.
Deadline for submissions is July 1, 2010.
