Toxins:10th Anniversary

Dear Colleagues,

To the Toxins MDPI Community: Fellow toxicologists, 2018 is the 10^th anniversary of Toxins and I must state this has been an outstanding 10 years for the development of our journal thanks to the scientists who have submitted excellent manuscripts to the journal and our many editors and reviewers who manage the submissions. In 2012, for example, we published 88 manuscripts from a submission of 148. In five short years at close of 2017 our numbers were 748 submissions with 393 publications, an approximate 25:75 ratio of acceptances to publications. This ratio seems to be a stable number for the journal. Furthermore, a key brand mark for our journal is the rapid and effective handling of manuscripts. As of 2017, our time for submission to first decision was 17 days and time to publication for accepted manuscripts 42 days, clearly demonstrating Toxins as a leader for rapid publication of quality manuscripts. Since 2014, our Impact Factor has been above 3 driven by the strength of the high quality reviews we have published. With this as a brief outline of our history I am delighted to announce a 10^th anniversary of Toxins Special Review Issue and welcome critical and impactful reviews of the domains represented by Toxins. Please help us celebrate our 10^th anniversary and submit your review to the Anniversary Edition.
