The
Journal of Anatomy is a major international journal which carries articles contributing to the understanding of development, evolution and function through a broad range of anatomical approaches. Priority will be given to experimental studies, to contributions based on molecular and cell biology, and on the application of modern functional imaging techniques. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy will only be published if the Editors consider that they are of functional significance. Articles covering new methods or analytical approaches that clarify or provide tools for functional anatomical understanding will also be sympathetically considered.
The
Journal carries research papers, invited reviews and book reviews. Full papers are normally up to 8000 words in length. No page charges are made, and charges are not made for colour illustrations if, in the opinion of the Editors, they are essential. Research may also be published in the form of Brief Communications (up to 3 journal pages) that present new ideas or data of particular originality and timeliness. The editors will also consider publishing correspondence arising from issues raised by articles published in the
Journal.
Journal of Anatomy is edited by Professor Gillian Morriss-Kay (Editorial Office e-mail address:
janat@anat.ox.ac.uk) and a team of specialist Receiving Editors. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell who maintain their own
home page for the
Journal. Most of the following links are to web pages on their server.
