What are the best journals for Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis?

From a 17,500-venue index, the highest-ranked Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis journals include The Science of The Total Environment, The Lancet Planetary Health, Environment International, Environmental Science & Technology, Chemosphere. The top 40 of 111 ranked venues are listed on this page; all 40 are Scimago Q1. Each shows its open-access status and indexing, and predatory venues are excluded. For a shortlist matched to your specific paper, use the Journal Finder (15 credits; free account starts with 25).

How were these Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis journals ranked?

By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis come before those that list it second or third, and ties go to OpenAlex cites/paper over a 2-year window. A venue whose main subfield is unrelated to Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis — is listed after all the others. Where cites/paper decides, a journal with fewer than 30 papers in OpenAlex over the four most recent publication years is listed after those with more: a two-year average over so few papers can rest on a single article (1 of the 111 journals ranked here is below that floor; it is not among the 40 shown). Cites/paper is a transparent citation rate, not a licensed Impact Factor, and journals flagged as predatory are excluded.

Why don't all Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis journals show a quartile?

Scimago doesn't cover every journal — many strong regional and open-access venues are absent from it. We show "no Scimago quartile" for those rather than hide them; it's a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.

“Cites/paper” is the OpenAlex 2-year citation rate — a transparent signal, not a licensed Impact Factor. Many regional and open-access journals are strong but aren’t covered by Scimago, so they show “no Scimago quartile”; that’s a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.
