Diagnostic Histopathology

  • ISSN: 1756-2317
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances.Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and illustrated case reports. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. The journal aims to cover the main breadth of histopathology in a three year cycle.Both the contributors and readership are seen as being International. The trend toward continuing education/accreditation has a strong influence in the shaping of the journal's content and is reflected in the inclusion of a self-assessment section.

The first and only international journal dedicated to Forensic ImagingOfficial Publication of the International Society of Radiology and Imaging (ISFRI) and International Association of Forensic Radiographers (IAFR).Formerly known as Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging (JOFRI), Forensic Imaging is the first and only journal dedicated to all aspects of forensic imaging and its implications for forensic medicine.Forensic Imaging covers various noninvasive and minimally invasive examination methods in a forensic context, mainly around the context of postmortem imaging, but also in conjunction with clinical forensic cases. Research subjects that are associated with these domains also include forensic veterinary investigations, forensic anthropology, as well as the use of 3D data acquired with a variety of imaging sensors.Forensic Imaging seeks to publish cutting-edge research, best practices, and new approaches by presenting evidence-based reviews, original research, technical notes, brief communications, and case-studies of scientific relevance across the following areas:Radiological examinations: x-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography, ultrasound, micro-CT, micro-MRISurface examinations: photogrammetry, 3D scanner technology, forensic photogrammetryComputer-assisted reality: virtual reality, augmented reality, crime scene reconstructionData processing: rendering techniques, visualization tools, segmentation, 3D printing, image fusionSpecific nonimaging examinations: magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Hounsfield unit profiling, material differentiationArtificial intelligence: machine learning, deep learning

Forensic Science International: Reports

  • ISSN: 2665-9107
An international open access journal dedicated to disseminating scientifically robust research and case reports across the forensic sciences. Preferred journal of the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD).Forensic Science International: Reports is a gold open access journal which fosters information and knowledge exchange through the dissemination of foundational science, case reports, mini reviews, population data, and informed opinion across all disciplines within the forensic sciences. The journal also welcomes the reporting of negative results and validation studies.Published content that consolidates existing knowledge through documented testing and peer review serves as a valuable benchmark standard for good practice. The continued advancement of forensic science hinges upon rigorous testing of methods, ethical integrity in reporting, and equity and collaboration across the boundaries of discipline or geography. Our aim is to rapidly disseminate quality reports whilst adhering to these principles which we strongly believe are paramount to forensic science and its critical role in criminal justice and wider society.As such, FSI: Reports differs from the rest of the Forensic Science International family through its editorial ethos of diversity and foundational science. This approach is predicated on disseminating original articles and case reports that conform to accepted ethical and scientific standards, with a particular focus on emerging regions and disciplines currently underrepresented in the existing literature. The journal publishes papers relating to the forensic implications of issues affecting humans, animals, wildlife, and the wider environment. Within the FSI portfolio, FSI: Reports offers the forensics community a fast, flexible, and open route for publication.Forensic Science International: Reports adheres to strict ethical publication guidelines and actively supports a culture of inclusive and representative publication.

  • 5 Year impact factor: 2.3

The Official Journal of the Association for Veterinary Teaching and Research WorkResearch in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing novel original research and high-impact reviews of great scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and comparative biomedical research.The primary aim of the journal is to inform the veterinary and biomedical research community of significant scientific advances and teaching methods in the field of veterinary education, and to provide a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion and debate of novel biomedical research and teaching within a "One-Health" context. The journal achieves these goals through the prompt promotion and dissemination of high-quality scientific knowledge to a broad range of professionals globally.The journal encourages the submission of high-quality novel research that has clear implications for the prevention, treatment, or control of zoonotic and animal diseases, including improved understanding of disease pathogenesis and epidemiology, and that therefore contribute to a substantial improvement of animal and human health. Papers studying the origin, pathogenesis, and spread of diseases, as well as new or improved methods of diagnosis and treatment, or describing novel aspects of immunology, physiology and welfare in animals of veterinary concern are explicitly welcome.Studies that lack novelty or scientific rigor, including studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary or of low scientific impact, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, poorly designed and controlled studies, studies that lack appropriate replication or that for other reasons lack generalizability including studies that are not generalizable beyond a local or limited geographic area, and case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses are explicitly welcome, the journal publishes only a very limited number of high-quality and high-impact narrative reviews. Authors are encouraged to follow accepted reporting guidelines, such as the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) in developing their reviews.
