As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

A comprehensive analysis of the animal carcinogenicity data for glyphosate
Since the introduction of glyphosate-tolerant genetically-modified plants, glyphosate has become the most widely used pesticide on the planet. This review considers the adequacy of recent studies for addressing the carcinogenicity of glyphosate and reanalyzes data to identify significant increases in tumors.
What is useful research? The good, the bad, and the stable
Any scientific journal wishes to add to the general store of knowledge. At Environmental Health, we also strive to publish research that is useful for public health. In this Editorial the journal ponders the question of how to inspire, improve and support the best research and its translation.
