Author Guidelines
The International Journal of Experimental Pathology (formerly the British Journal of Experimental Pathology) has been published continuously since 1920. It has been published in an online only format since January 2014.
1. Aims and Scope
Experimental Pathology encompasses the use of multidisciplinary scientific techniques to investigate the pathogenesis and progression of pathologic processes.
The International Journal of Experimental Pathology - IJEP – aims to publish high quality papers which afford new and imaginative insights into Experimental Pathology, thus helping to elucidate further the mechanisms which underlie disease. Founded in 1920 by the late Paul Fildes (as the British Journal of Experimental Pathology), IJEP has contributed several major advances to the biomedical science literature, ranging from the original penicillin observation: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2566493/
to the first report of the animal model of Ebola virus:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7547435
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1997188/
In order to continue to achieve this aim IJEP considers for publication papers across a broad spectrum of investigative approaches. This can be in the form of in vitro studies, animal models, and clinical research. The key objectives are (i) to report on work that addresses the common theme of mechanism at a cellular and molecular level; and (ii) to interpret this work both as a scholarly scientific report per se, and in a translational context.
Thus, IJEP provides a forum for publication about pathology and aetiology of both human and veterinary diseases, both acute and chronic inflammatory processes (infective and non-infective), toxicological and traumatic injury, degenerative and iatrogenic disease, fibrosis and cancer.
There are three forms of IJEP publication: (i) original research papers reporting directly on experimental investigations; (ii) review papers (both contributed and commissioned) and (iii) letters to the Editor about topics that have been covered in the Journal, to which authors are invited to respond.
With regard to original papers, based upon the aims and objectives outlined above, IJEP appreciates that a wide range of methods may need to be incorporated into the text. The emphasis is on hypothesis driven investigations, rather than on case reports and descriptive studies.
There is a long IJEP tradition of publishing review papers . Sometimes these focus on individual themes. For example, the most “long-lived” IJEP review paper explored animal models of steatohepatitis: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0959-9673.2006.00465.x/abstract and another recent review looked at the molecular models that are important in the study of muscular dystrophy. Others are published as a series: themes have included angiogenesis, renal disease experimental models, and tendon biology and pathology.
IJEP has traditionally taken an interest in the connective tissue microenvironment – its structure, and its relationship to the dynamic processes, often chronic, that occur within it, as well as the pathology of the tissues themselves. The relationship between the tissue site, cell and matrix, inflammation and scarring, has been explored at many different sites, particularly the lung and the synovial joint. Furthermore, IJEP sponsors and publishes the Fell Muir Award lecture series in this field, organised by the British Society for Matrix Biology.
IJEP pays particular attention that research reported conforms to currently accepted ethical standards; that conflicts of interest are declared; and that funding sources and other forms of assistance are acknowledged. Further details about how these aspects should be addressed are discussed below.
2. English Language Requirements
IJEP is unable to undertake corrections of language, which is the responsibility of the author. Papers will be unsubmitted from the Journal immediately if the paper does not meet these criteria. Papers must be written in clear, concise English. Spelling should follow The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English. Avoid jargon and neologisms. Where English is not the first language of the authors, the paper should be checked by a native English speaker.
