Overview

Aims and Scope

The aim of Cytopathology is to publish articles relating to those aspects of cytology which will increase our knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all aspects of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including:

  • gynaecological and non-gynaecological cytology

  • fine needle aspiration and

  • screening strategy.

Cytopathology welcomes papers and articles on:

  • ultrastructural, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies of the cell

  • quantitative cytology and

  • DNA hybridization as applied to cytological material

Editorial policy reflects the interest of cytopathologists and cytotechnologists alike as well as the interests of clinicians using the cytology service. It also reflects the interest of biological scientists whose work involves research at the cellular level.

  • Negative/null results

In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.

Readership

Publishing articles relating to the aspects of cytology which increase knowledge and understanding of aetiology diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all areas of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including gynaecological cytology, fine needle aspiration and screening strategy. Cytopathology makes a major contribution to Continuing Medical Education (CME) in clinical cytology and as such has become essential reading for every practising cytopathologist and cytotechnologist who wishes to keep abreast of new developments in this rapidly developing field.
