European Journal of Pathology

Publishing model:

Overview

The Official Journal of the European Society of Pathology.

Mission statement: 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.

  • COVID-19 and impact on peer review

    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.
