About the journal
|
Journal of Anatomy publishes original papers, invited review articles and book reviews. Its main focus is on contributions to understanding development, evolution and function through a broad range of anatomical approaches. Articles covering bioinformatics and other topics that clarify or provide tools for functional anatomical understanding will also be sympathetically considered. Priority will be given to experimental studies, to contributions based on molecular and cell biology, and on the application of modern functional imaging techniques. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy will only be published if the Editors consider that they are of functional significance.
Journal of Anatomy also publishes Brief Communications: these are brief papers (up to 3 journal pages) that present new ideas or data of particular originality and timeliness. The editors will also consider publishing Letters (1-2 pages) on scientific issues of clear relevance to the scope of interest of the Journal.

Instructions to Authors
Full instructions for preparing and submitting manuscripts online are provided at the submission site: http://janat.manuscriptcentral.com. Click on the 'submit online' button below left.
Please do not duplicate your submission by submitting online and by post.
Original Papers should not normally exceed 8000 words in total length. There are no page charges, and charges are not made for colour illustrations if, in the opinion of the Editor, they are essential (otherwise the cost must be met in full by the authors: estimates may be obtained in advance). Submitted artwork must be of high quality. Submission of manuscripts Online:
Journal of Anatomy strongly encourages online submission of manuscripts at http://janat.manuscriptcentral.com. Submission online enables the quickest possible review and allows online manuscript tracking. Manuscript submission online can be in Word document (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), Portable Document Format (.pdf) or PostScript (.ps). Each of these file formats will be automatically converted to PDF for reviewing. Figures can be embedded in the native word processor file or may be uploaded separately in one of the following formats: GIF (.gif), JPEG (.jpg), TIFF (.tif), EPS (.eps). Figures uploaded separately in these file formats will be automatically converted to small jpegs for reviewing. Other file formats may be uploaded, but these will not be converted to an easily opened format and Editors and Referees will require the necessary software to view these files.
Full upload instructions and support are available online from the submission site via the 'Get Help Now' button. You can also email for online submission support. Please note that you should submit your covering letter or comments to the Editor-in-Chief, when prompted online.
Please do not duplicate your submission by submitting online and by post.
Please note that following acceptance of your manuscript for publication in Journal of Anatomy, you will be required to supply your manuscript and figures on disk (for disk instructions see Disk submission of manuscripts. Paper:
If authors are unable to submit electronically, hard copies may be submitted.
Manuscripts (four copies for paper submissions, together with a PC disk, and laser copies of the figures, which will not be returned to the authors) should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Professor Gillian Morriss-Kay, Department of Human Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QX, UK. Tel: +44 (0)1865 272165, fax: +44 (0)1865 272420, email: janat@anat.ox.ac.uk. All manuscripts must also be submitted on disk (3?), saved both in wordprocessor format and as ASCII files (see Disk submission of manuscripts). Provision of the manuscript and illustrations on disk will facilitate handling by the editorial office. Authors may elect to have their manuscript handled by a particular receiving editor, or may leave this decision to the Editor-in-Chief. The covering letter should include one or two sentences describing the contents of the paper and its relevance to the focus of the journal. Manuscripts will be sent to at least two reviewers; authors may if they wish suggest the names of up to three potential reviewers who have had no part in the work; the editors may at their discretion choose one of them. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Anatomy, or any part of the work described therein, must be original and must not be simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere. Work previously published in abstract form should be referred to in the introduction. The Editors cannot accept responsibility for damage to or loss of papers submitted to them. Presentation of manuscripts
Manuscripts, including the references, should be printed, double-spaced, in grammatically correct English. The title page should state the title of the paper, the names and addresses of the authors, a short title for running headlines, the full address of the corresponding author. An Abstract of not more than 200 words should include the reason why the work was carried out, the key techniques, the results and the major conclusions, followed by five key words, which should not duplicate words in the title. Original articles should include, in the following order, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Figure legends (starting on a separate sheet), Tables. The text should preferably be in MS Word (PC or Mac format) and the illustrations must be submitted as high-resolution (300 dpi) EPS or TIFF files (see below). Supplementary material and the online edition of the Journal
Supplementary Material, such as data sets, additional images or tables, that will not be published in the print edition of the journal, but which will be viewable via the online edition, may be submitted.
It should be clearly stated at the time of submission that the Supplementary Material is intended for publication through the online edition. Supplementary Material will be made available in electronic form free of charge either through these web pages or on request from Blackwell Science. Alternatively, if the size or format of the Supplementary Material is such that it cannot be accommodated on the journal's Web site, the author agrees to make the Supplementary Material available free of charge on a permanent Web site, to which links will be set up from Journal of Anatomy's Web site. The author must advise Blackwell Science of any change in the URL of the Web site where the Supplementary Material is located.
The availability of Supplementary Material should be indicated in the main manuscript by a paragraph, to appear after the References, headed 'Supplementary Material' and providing titles of figures, tables, etc. The Supplementary Material should be submitted to the Editorial Office in final form, ready for viewing, or alternatively, if the size or format is such that it cannot be submitted, the author should make the Supplementary Material available for viewing in final form via the Web by the Editorial Office and by reviewers. This Supplementary Material is an integral part of the article and will be reviewed accordingly. References
References in the text. References to papers having three or more authors should give the name of the first author only, followed by 'et al'.
Reference list. References should be listed alphabetically at the end of the article and should conform to the formats of the following examples:
