Journal Title：Virchows Archiv

Manuscripts of original studies reinforcing the evidence base of modern diagnostic pathology, using immunocytochemical, molecular and ultrastructural techniques, will be welcomed. In addition, papers on critical evaluation of diagnostic criteria but also broadsheets and guidelines with a solid evidence base will be considered. Consideration will also be given to reports of work in other fields relevant to the understanding of human pathology as well as manuscripts on the application of new methods and techniques in pathology. Submission of purely experimental articles is discouraged but manuscripts on experimental work applicable to diagnostic pathology are welcomed. Biomarker studies are welcomed but need to abide by strict rules (e.g. REMARK) of adequate sample size and relevant marker choice. Single marker studies on limited patient series without validated application will as a rule not be considered. Case reports will only be considered when they provide substantial new information with an impact on understanding disease or diagnostic practice.

歡迎使用免疫細胞化學、分子和超微結構技術來強化現代診斷病理學證據基礎的原創研究手稿。此外，還將考慮關于診斷標準的批判性評估以及具有堅實證據基礎的宣傳單和指南的論文。還將考慮與理解人類病理學相關的其他領域的工作報告以及關于在病理學中應用新方法和技術的手稿。不鼓勵提交純實驗性文章，但歡迎提交適用于診斷病理學的實驗性工作手稿。歡迎生物標志物研究，但需要遵守足夠的樣本量和相關標志物選擇的嚴格規則（例如 REMARK）。沒有經過驗證的應用的有限患者系列的單一標志物研究通常不予考慮。只有當病例報告提供大量新信息并對理解疾病或診斷實踐產生影響時，才會考慮它們。

Virchows Archiv創刊于1847年，由Springer Berlin Heidelberg出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫學 - 病理學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 偏慢,4-8周 ，影響因子指數3.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
