Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Various chemical, biological, radioactive, and physical agents dramatically affect human health upon acute or chronic exposure. This Special Issue will focus on studies of environmental agents in various model systems and in the epidemiological and clinical settings that use whole genome approaches, including technologies, such as microarrays and next generation sequencing. The major goal of this Special Issue will be to expand our knowledge regarding the spectrum of hazardous environmental agents, their mechanisms of action, as well as prevention of their harmful effects, on human populations. Special emphasis will be given to carcinogens, but we would encourage submission of articles addressing any relevant environmental agent. Original research articles using whole genome approaches, as well as systematic reviews and or meta-analyses of published data, are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microarrays is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 350 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
