Aims & Scope

To advance the scientific basis of human pathology, and thereby contribute to patient care, through the publication of high-quality research (including molecular and translational studies). We consider original studies reinforcing the evidence base of modern diagnostic pathology, using immunocytochemical, molecular and ultrastructural techniques. We welcome critical evaluations of diagnostic criteria, broadsheets and guidelines with a solid evidence base, and applicable experimental work. Biomarker studies should be of adequate sample size, relevant marker choice, and abide by strict rules (e.g. REMARK). Case reports are considered only when they provide substantial new information with an impact on understanding disease/diagnostic practice.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
