Journal Title：Journal Of Pathology

The Journal of Pathology aims to serve as a translational bridge between basic biomedical science and clinical medicine with particular emphasis on, but not restricted to, tissue based studies. The main interests of the Journal lie in publishing studies that further our understanding the pathophysiological and pathogenetic mechanisms of human disease.

The Journal welcomes investigative studies on human tissues, in vitro and in vivo experimental studies, and investigations based on animal models with a clear relevance to human disease, including transgenic systems. In general, hypothesis driven studies that appropriately employ multiple investigative techniques are preferred over those that rely on a single methodology.

As well as original research papers, the Journal seeks to provide rapid publication in a variety of other formats, including editorials, review articles, commentaries and perspectives and other features, both contributed and solicited.

Purely descriptive papers on diagnostic pathology (including case reports and prognostic papers without mechanistic and experimental insights) are not considered central to the Journal’s purpose. Correspondence relating to papers published in the Journal will be considered, but only if of general interest. Such correspondance may be published in online versions only, at the Editor's discretion.

In determining content, the primary considerations are excellence, relevance and novelty. As the journal of The Pathological Society, it seeks to reflect the broad scientific interests of the Society’s membership but its ethos, authorship, content and purpose are those expected of a leading publication in the international scientific literature.

《病理学杂志》旨在充当基础生物医学科学和临床医学之间的转化桥梁，特别强调但不限于基于组织的研究。该杂志的主要兴趣在于发表研究，进一步了解人类疾病的病理生理和发病机制。

本刊欢迎对人体组织的调查研究、体外和体内实验研究，以及基于与人类疾病（包括转基因系统）明确相关的动物模型的调查。一般来说，适当采用多种调查技术的假设驱动研究优于那些依赖单一方法的研究。

除了原创研究论文，该期刊还力求以各种其他形式快速发表文章，包括社论、评论文章、评论和观点以及其他特色，包括投稿和征集。

关于诊断病理学的纯粹描述性论文（包括没有机械和实验见解的病例报告和预后论文）不被视为本刊宗旨的核心。将考虑与在该期刊上发表的论文相关的通信，但前提是具有普遍兴趣。此类通讯可能仅以在线版本发布，由编辑自行决定。

在确定内容时，首要考虑因素是卓越性、相关性和新颖性。作为 The Pathological Society 的期刊，它力求反映该协会成员广泛的科学兴趣，但其精神、作者身份、内容和目的都是国际科学文献中领先出版物所期望的。
