解剖學(xué)雜志出版原始論文，邀請評論文章和書評。它的主要焦點是通過廣泛的解剖學(xué)方法來理解發(fā)育、進(jìn)化和功能。涉及生物信息學(xué)和其他闡明或提供功能解剖學(xué)理解工具的主題的文章也將被同情地考慮。重點將放在實驗研究、基于分子和細(xì)胞生物學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)以及現(xiàn)代功能成像技術(shù)的應(yīng)用。本質(zhì)上屬于描述性解剖學(xué)的研究只有在編輯認(rèn)為它們具有功能意義時才會發(fā)表。

Journal of Anatomy publishes original papers, invited review articles and book reviews. Its main focus is on contributions to understanding 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.
