Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal which covers legal aspects of toxicological and pharmacological regulations. It is published by Elsevier on behalf of the International Society of Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology. The current co-editors-in-chief are Lesa L. Aylward and Martin van den Berg.

## Conflicts of interest

[edit]

In 2002, a group of 45 academics wrote a letter accusing the journal of a concealed pro-industry bias, a possible lack of full and independent peer review, and a failure to disclose conflicts of interest, citing a case in which Gio Batta Gori, then-current editor-in-chief, was paid $30,000 by the Tobacco Institute to write an article later published in the journal dismissing the health risks of secondhand smoke.[1][2] The letter's coordinator later commented that the journal "reads like an industry trade publication, but it's masked as a peer-reviewed journal" and that it lacked any "credible peer-review process."[3] In response, the journal's publisher implemented a conflict of interest disclosure policy at the journal in January 2003, shortly before the correspondence was published.[1]

## Abstracting and indexing

[edit]

The journal is abstracted and indexed in EMBASE, EMBiology, and Scopus.
