Electronic Journal of Pathology

and

Histology

Volume 6.1 January - March 2000

EDITOR IN CHIEF: Klaus Kayser, Heidelberg

AIMS AND SCOPE

The E J Pathol - Electronic Journal of Pathology and Histology is the first scientific journal in medical sciences published solely on an electronic medium. One issue will be available on one cd-rom. The journal will accept research articles, review articles, technical notes, case reports, short communications, and letters to the editor submitted  as plain text files, winword-documents, pdf or, preferable, html- files. Executable programs can be published as well as long as they correspond to the aims and scope of the journal.

E J Pathol - Electronic Journal of Pathology and Histology, the scientific journal in pathology, histology, and related fields, will be published quarterly on electronic medium, i.e. a cd-rom. It will cover all aspects of surgical pathology, and focus on tropical medicine and medical parasitology. Articles are welcome on cytometry, histometry, computer-assisted diagnosis, telepathology, and expert systems. Articles on biochemical and molecular-biological or environmental, toxicological and occupational aspects of pathology are requested as well as developmental and histological studies on light and electron microscopical level, or case reports.

SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES

All manuscripts will be reviewed by experts in the field, and accepted articles will be published within 10 weeks after acceptance. All material submitted for publication in the journal should be sent to the editor-in chief

Please include a cover letter indicating name, address, and telephone number of the author responsible for correspondence and proofs, a statement that the submitted article has not been published nor is under consideration for publication elsewhere, and indicate the used format and text system. The authors can choose to submit an article in two ways:

1. conventional (closed) version.This is the ordinary paper publication technique.

2. interactive (open) publication.This style of publication is offered to authors who are willing to accept an expansion by another team in the feature.These articles will be indicated by an -i- or -e- (see below).

The rules for this interactive publication-technique are:

1. The team A has to agree for further expansion of its article by a different group, i.e. indicate this to the editor, these articles are indicated by an -i-

2. The expanded (second) article is subject for peer reviewing;

3. The original text should not be altered but only expanded by the -second- team B;

4. The authors of the second team B should indicate in the head line and abstract which data have been added;

5. The author names of the second (expanded) article should include the names of team B and that of team A (team B in front of team A);

6. Team B should indicate that the article is an interactive (second) publication, which will be demonstrated by an indicator -e- (for example 992-00e.htm)

7. The number of interactive iterative publication procedures is limited to two; i.e., already -expanded- articles cannot be expanded or interactively discussed again in the future.

Actually, the response of authors to this trial is not known to us.

In addition, we do not know whether this idea will work, or which rules have to be added (or might be omitted). No similar approach has been undertaken in the world of scientific medical publication until now to our knowledge. Therefore, we would like to encourage our readers and authors to participate in this new idea, and to let us know whether the first steps in respect to interactive publication are of real scientific value and improvement in the world of scientific information exchange.

Manuscripts should be submitted in English  and include the title, list of authors, abstract, keywords, and in consecutive order introduction, methods, results, discussion, acknowledgements, references, tables, and figures (either in jpeg or gif- format). The references should be noted in the text by numbers, and are to be supplied in alphabetical order, numbered consecutively. Journal title abbreviations should follow the practice of Index Medicus. In addition, to simplify  medline-based abstract search, name the PMID and/or UI number.This number is available at the website of the National Library of Medicine under http://www.nlm.nih.gov./databases/freemedl.html
