What we publish

Exposome publishes peer-reviewed research on the totality of environmental exposures — chemical, physical, biological, and psychosocial — that shape human biology and health across the life course. Contributions span original empirical work, comprehensive reviews, methodological advances, and short-form commentary.

Sections

The journal publishes across five sections:

• Research Article — primary empirical contributions presenting new data or methods.
• Review — comprehensive synthesis (systematic or narrative) of a specific domain.
• Commentary — shorter, opinionated pieces reacting to published work or field-wide developments.
• Editorial — by invitation from the editors.
• Letter to the Editor — concise response to published articles.

Editorial leadership

The journal is led by an Editor-in-Chief, supported by a panel of Associate Editors and a Scientific Advisory Board. Editorial decisions are made solely by the Editor-in-Chief and handling editors on the basis of peer review. The publisher does not intervene in editorial decisions.

The full editorial board roster will be published once confirmed. The entry below reflects the founding Editor-in-Chief.

Open access

All articles are published open access and are free to read immediately upon publication. Authors retain copyright. Specific licensing terms are indicated on each article page. Historical volumes 1–6 were published by Oxford University Press; consult the original article page for historical licensing details.

Publisher history

Volumes 1–6 (2021–2026) were published by Oxford University Press. From 2026 the journal is self-published and maintains its DOI namespace of record. All prior content remains accessible through its original DOI.

Methodological expectations

Methodological rigor and reproducibility are weighted as heavily as originality. Submissions describing observational or experimental data must make the data necessary to reproduce the reported findings publicly available, or explicitly justify the barrier to release. Code should be archived with a persistent identifier.

Indexing and identifiers

Articles are assigned a DOI at publication (prefix 10.1093/exposome). Google Scholar citation meta tags are emitted on each article page for automated indexing. Additional bibliographic indexing targets are under review.
