Paul Borm is appointed Editor-in-Chief of Particle & Fibre Toxicology
Paul Borm from Zuyd University in The Netherlands
has recently been appointed Editor-in-Chief of Particle & Fibre Toxicology. Prof Borm has served as Deputy Editor since the journal’s
launch in 2004 and has contributed to some of the most highly
accessed articles published in the journal. Our sincere thanks go to Ken
Donaldson who recently stepped down as Editor-in-Chief and whose contributions
to the journal in its early years have helped the journal in building its
reputation within its field.
In a recent Editorial, Prof Borm summarises some of the journal’s successes to date and looks towards future directions for Particle & Fibre Toxicology. Of note, Prof Borm comments on the journal’s high citation rate, with over 250 citations to the first 40 articles published in the journal. The journal is also expanding its scope to include articles on areas such as biomaterials, drug delivery and imaging in an effort to bridge the gap between classic particle toxicology and these areas. Further details of the journal’s scope are available from the journal website.
Particle & Fibre Toxicology has published a number of important articles concerning the effects of nanomaterials and combustion nanoparticles. Most recently two articles concerning the effect on diesel exhaust particles on the brain and prenatal development gained widespread coverage in the media and both articles have been highly accessed.
