該雜志為讀者提供了一個全面的描述，理論和應用方面的微量元素在醫(yī)學和生物學，并致力于推進科學知識的微量元素。微量元素在維持生理過程中起著至關重要的作用。近幾十年來，人們對微量元素的功能和結合進行了大量的科學研究。《醫(yī)學和生物學微量元素雜志》側(cè)重于描述和傳播有關微量元素在健康和疾病方面的作用及其對營養(yǎng)的重要性的科學成果。然而，微量元素生物學作用知識的進展取決于微量元素化學的進展。因此，《醫(yī)學和生物學微量元素雜志》將只收錄那些基于已證實的分析方法得出結果的論文。

The journal provides the reader with a thorough description of theoretical and applied aspects of trace elements in medicine and biology and is devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge about trace elements. Trace elements play essential roles in the maintenance of physiological processes. During the last decades there has been a great deal of scientific investigation about the function and binding of trace elements. The Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology focuses on the description and dissemination of scientific results concerning the role of trace elements with respect to their mode of action in health and disease and nutritional importance. Progress in the knowledge of the biological role of trace elements depends, however, on advances in trace elements chemistry. Thus the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology will include only those papers that base their results on proven analytical methods.
