Philippine Journal of Pathology

Aims & Scope

The Philippine Journal of Pathology (PJP) is an open-access, peer-reviewed, English language, medical science journal published by the Philippine Society of Pathologists, Inc. Committee on Publications. It shall serve as the official platform for publication of original articles, case reports or series, feature articles, and editorials covering topics on clinical and anatomic pathology, laboratory medicine and medical technology, diagnostics, laboratory biosafety and biosecurity, as well as laboratory quality assurance, that are relevant to the Philippines. The journal's primary target audience are Filipino laboratorians, diagnosticians, laboratory managers, pathologists, medical technologists, and all other medical and scientific disciplines interfacing with the laboratory. PJP prioritizes articles based on studies or cases that are relevant to laboratory practice in the Philippines (i.e., based on Philippine data). As a society-funded and maintained journal, it shall cater exclusively to Filipino laboratorians.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
