Human and Ecological Risk Assessment provides a resource for professionals researching and assessing environmental hazards to both humans and ecological systems. The editors expect papers published to be original, of sound science, purposeful for risk analysis (assessment, communication, management) and related areas, well written (in English), and a contribution to the scientific literature.
The journal's emphasis is on publication of papers that contribute to improvements in human and ecological health. The journal is an international, fully peer-reviewed publication that publishes eight issues annually. The journal's scope includes scientific and technical information and critical analysis in the following areas:
Quantitative Risk Assessment
Comparative Risk Assessment
Integrated Human & Ecological Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment Applications to Human & Ecosystems Health
Exposure Assessment
Environmental Fate Assessment
Multi-Media Assessment
Hazard Assessment
Environmental Epidemiology
Statistical Models and Methods
Methods Development/Improvement
Toxicokinetics Modeling
Animal to Human Extrapolation
Risk Perception/Communication
Risk Management
Regulatory Issues 
Within these areas, HERA also welcomes manuscripts that present reviews, case studies, workshop reports, and perspectives.

Manuscripts will be considered that address any of the wide range of issues associated with the entire risk assessment process. Examples of the types of manuscripts encouraged for submittal include:
Original data on relevant topics (e.g., exposure and hazard assessment)
Critical reviews of current methods for risk assessment
Improved extrapolation methods (e.g., interspecies, high to low dose)
Biological mechanism-based risk assessment procedures
Improved biomathematical modeling
International approaches to risk analysis
Case studies
Commentaries
Technical debates
Improved risk communication
