All metrics >>

The Journal of Clinical Pathology (JCP) offers a mix of innovative academic research and practical clinical advice. As one of the few broad-scope pathology journals, it enables the busy pathologist to keep up with the latest developments in all pathology disciplines.

In addition to original research, JCP publishes a wide range of other content types aimed at the training and practising pathologist, such as computational pathology, review articles on hot topics, best practice articles for clinical investigations, in-depth summaries of key genes and molecules in pathogenesis, and multi-disciplinary grand rounds cases. The journal does not typically publish papers that focus on basic research, although translational pathology articles are welcomed. Exceptional case reports that contribute significantly to our understanding of the pathogenesis or diagnosis of disease may be published.

JCP is the official journal of the Association of Clinical Pathologists.
