The American Journal of Pathology
Instructions to Authors
The American Journal of Pathology, the official journal of the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) and published by Elsevier, Inc., seeks high-quality original research reports, reviews, and commentaries related to the molecular and cellular basis of disease. The editors will consider basic, translational, and clinical investigations that directly address mechanisms of pathogenesis or provide a foundation for future mechanistic inquiries. Examples of such foundational investigations include data mining, identification of biomarkers, molecular pathology, and discovery research. Foundational studies that incorporate deep learning and artificial intelligence are also welcome. High priority is given to studies of human disease and relevant experimental models using molecular, cellular, and organismal approaches. Case reports typically do not meet the criteria for inclusion.
Manuscript Categories. Regular Articles are categorized in the Table of Contents according to the following research topics: Animal Models; Biomarkers, Genomics, Proteomics, and Gene Regulation; Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and Renal Pathology; Cell Injury, Repair, Aging, and Apoptosis; Epithelial and Mesenchymal Cell Biology; Gastrointestinal, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Pathology; Growth Factors, Cytokines, and Cell Cycle Molecules; Immunopathology and Infectious Diseases; Machine Learning, Computational Pathology, and Biophysical Imaging; Matrix Pathobiology; Metabolic, Endocrine, and Genitourinary Pathobiology; Molecular Pathogenesis of Genetic and Inherited Diseases; Musculoskeletal Pathology; Neurobiology; Stem Cells, Tissue Engineering, and Hematopoietic Elements; Tumorigenesis and Neoplastic Progression; and Vascular Biology, Atherosclerosis and Endothelium Biology. Not all topic areas will appear in each issue, as this is dependent on the content of original research accepted for publication. Upon acceptance, authors will be asked for their preference of topic category assignment; however, the Editors will make the final determination regarding topic category placement. There are no official limits to word count or number of tables and figures that can be included in Regular Articles, authors should consider their budgetary restrictions when preparing their manuscript. The Editors reserve the right to request reduction of text length or removal of data.
Short Communications are intended to provide a forum for the rapid publication of timely and significant findings, in brief. Manuscripts in this category should be concise but definitive, may be more descriptive and less mechanistic than Regular Articles, and must not exceed 12 double-spaced typed pages (excluding references and legends) and a maximum of 4 combined figures and tables; this limit is not to be circumvented by inclusion of excessive Supplemental Data. Categorization of manuscripts in this category is at the Editor's discretion.
In addition to original research articles, the Journal publishes articles categorized as Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Biological Perspectives, Commentaries, Guest Editorials, and Perspectives. Authors who wish to publish a Review or Mini-Review should send their curriculum vitae along with an outline of the proposed article for prior approval by the Editor-in-Chief. Reviews have a maximum of 6,000 words, 100 references, and 4 tables or figures (one of which is mechanistic); Mini-Reviews have a maximum of 4,000 words, 50 references, and 2 tables or figures (one of which is mechanistic). Supplemental data should not be overly utilized to expand beyond these listed parameters. Biological Perspectives are submitted by invitation only and provide streamlined, mechanistic insight into the current state of research in the discussed topic. Commentaries are submitted by invitation only and relate to a concurrently published manuscript. All invited papers are subject to the same review process as unsolicited articles. Guest Editorials and Perspectives are published by invitation only.
