Journal Title：International Journal Of Paleopathology

Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.

古病理學是研究和應用從骨骼和軟組織遺骸中調查疾病和相關狀況的方法和技術。《國際古病理學雜志》（IJPP）將發表關于人類和動物（包括原始人類）疾病的原創和重要文章，這些文章基于對物理遺骸的研究，包括骨、牙齒和保存的軟組織，研究方法范圍從直接觀察到分子、化學、組織學和放射學分析。討論如何將這些方法應用于重建過去的健康、疾病和生活史是該學科的核心，因此該雜志還鼓勵涵蓋解釋和理論問題的論文，以及將疾病研究置于生物考古學或生物文化方法中心的論文。還將發表涉及過去疾病（而非醫學史）歷史證據的論文。該雜志還將接受將先前開發的技術應用于新材料的重要研究，將研究置于當前關于過去人類和動物健康的辯論背景下。

International Journal Of Paleopathology創刊于2011年，由Elsevier BV出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋PALEONTOLOGY - PATHOLOGY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 ，影響因子指數1.3，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。
