A special issue highlighting contributions of women to Chemical Research in Toxicology. The United Nations sustainable development goals aim to improve health and education and promote economic growth while reducing inequality and ending poverty. The field of toxicology is intrinsically dedicated to these goals, addressing the protection of the world population through improving public health and ensuring access to clean water and the sustainable consumption and production of safe food. Specifically, the identification and quantification of hazards and exposures, the chemical and molecular understanding of associated biological outcomes, and tools and models for the prediction of adverse outcomes form a solid basis for hazard reduction, substitution, or safe and sustainable design. In this context, the necessity for the full inclusion of women in all areas of sustainable development has been elevated by the United Nations by making the empowerment of all women and girls one of its sustainable development goals. (1) To fully reach this goal, this empowerment must include the eradication of the gender gap in research and experimental development in science. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), in 2016, only 29.3% of employees in R&D worldwide were women. A closer look reveals that regional averages for the share of female researchers are heterogeneous, ranging from 48% for Central Asia and 33% for North America and Western Europe to 19% for South and West Asia. (2) Furthermore, the representation of women seems to be inverse to academic rank or leadership position. (3) Although in some regions, e.g., in Europe, the absolute number of women employed as scientists and engineers grew over ten years by almost 50% to 7.3 million in 2022, this growth represented only a 2% increase in the proportion of women compared to men. (4) Shares of female researchers in the field of toxicology are less well accessible, but it can be assumed that overall women are underrepresented in this field, similar to other sectors. Based on the great success of the virtual issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology in Celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science published earlier this year, (5) it is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to the planned special issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology, devoted to the promotion of the visibility of women in this field through the dissemination of their research. The CRT special issue “Women in Chemical Toxicology” is being Guest Edited by Prof. Dean Naisbitt and Prof. Sayuri Miyamoto, and CRT Associate Editor Dr. Annette Kraegeloh. This special issue is aimed at promoting the participation and accomplishments of women in the field of chemical toxicology. Therefore, we specifically call for submissions by first or corresponding authors at any stage in their career who identify as women. We welcome your submissions of research Articles, Rapid Reports, Perspectives, Reviews, or ToxWatch manuscripts related to the entire scope of Chemical Research in Toxicology. Authors are invited to send a presubmission inquiry to the Editors that includes an abstract and cover letter indicating the intended manuscript format by e-mail ([email protected]). The deadline for submission is Monday, January 15, 2024. We look forward to your contributions!
