The Journal of Anatomy
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. Articles covering bioinformatics and other topics that clarify or provide tools for functional anatomical understanding will also be sympathetically considered. 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.
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 Editor, 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 Letters (1-2 pages) on scientific issues of clear relevance to the scope of interest of the Journal.
The Journal is edited by Professor Gillian Morriss-Kay (Editorial Office e-mail address: janat@anat.ox.ac.uk). From January 2002 it is published by Blackwell Science who maintain their own home page (http://www.j-anatomy.com/) for the Journal. Most of the following links are to web pages on their server.
