About the journal
The Anatomical Record: Discoveries Through Integrative Anatomy is an official publication of the American Association of Anatomists whose purpose is to rapidly publish new discoveries in the morphological aspects of molecular, cellular, systems, and evolutionary biology. Emphasis will focus upon major new findings in the anatomical consequences of gene disruption, activation, or over expression upon cell, tissue, or organ architecture. The journal recognizes the importance of descriptive studies in contemporary research, particularly when framed in the context of experimental models or questions. An important priority will be those discoveries and new advances made through the use of imaging modalities that range from those that image real-time signalling processes to ones that image protein or gene expression in individual cells, tissues, or whole organisms.
Papers will be accepted dealing with functional morphology of any vertebrate organ system including those with a developmental, comparative, or evolutionary theme. With respect to developmental biology, our sister journal--Developmental Dynamics--focuses on biochemical and molecular mechanisms of vertebrate and invertebrate development. Our area of coverage will be directed primarily to the organ or system level where descriptive studies of normal and abnormal development may become an important consideration in characterizing phenotypes. In addition, timely reviews of important topics related to Anatomy and its subdisciplines will be regularly included. The criteria of acceptance of all papers are the quality of the research, its originality and significance to our readership.
The abstracts and proceedings of the annual meeting of the American Association of Anatomists is also published in The Anatomical Record . No paper that has appeared previously will be accepted nor will simultaneous publication elsewhere be allowed.

CATEGORIES OF MANUSCRIPTS CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION
Full length papers dealing with functional morphology of any vertebrate organ system (including those with a developmental, comparative, or evolutionary theme) will be considered. With respect to developmental biology, our sister journal--Developmental Dynamics--focuses on biochemical and molecular mechanisms of vertebrate and invertebrate development. Our area of coverage will be directed primarily to the organ or system level where descriptive studies of normal and abnormal development may become an important consideration in characterizing phenotypes. In addition, timely reviews of important topics related to anatomy and its subdisciplines will be regularly included. The criteria of acceptance of all papers are the quality of the research, its originality and significance to our readership. No paper having appeared previously will be accepted, nor will simultaneous publication elsewhere be considered.
Anatomical Genomics papers will be considered as follows:
EXPRESSions: The purpose of this feature is to provide an outlet for the rapid publication of brief, descriptive papers that present new findings on the spatial or temporal expression patterns of a gene and/or protein in developing or fully differentiated vertebrate tissues or organs. It is anticipated that most submitted manuscripts will use in situ hybridization or antibody protocols to describe expression patterns of a gene or protein initially revealed through genomic or proteomic approaches including gene microchip arrays, substractive hybridization, differential display, enhancer or exon trapping, insertional mutagenesis, two-hybrid screening, protein-DNA or protein-protein interactions or hybridoma screening. Each paper will be limited to a total of 5 printed pages in the following format: four pages of typed text (approximately equivalent to 10 double-spaced typed pages with one inch margins) and one page of illustrations. The text should include an abstract (approximately 50 words), and Introduction that embodies the materials and methods, Results and Discussion (may be combined), References, Acknowledgments, and Figure Legends. One page of color will be provided gratis for each paper. All papers will be peer reviewed by the Associate Editors within 2 weeks of submission. Criteria for review and acceptance will include adherence to format, presentation and interpretation of the expression pattern, image quality and, most importantly, if the expression pattern is novel or introduces unique potential to serve as a biological marker for a developmental or cellular process.
MOUSE HOUSE: Because many tissues and organs in murine knockouts or knock-ins are not fully characterized morphologically when first reported, the purpose of this feature is to provide the opportunity to present brief, descriptive characterizations of unreported phenotypes following various genetic perturbations. The key issues for review by the Associate Editors will be that the data are original, derived from genetically modified mice and presented in a descriptive format of 5 printed pages, including illustrations as described for EXPRESSions. One page of color will be provided gratis. Editorial decisions will be made within 2 weeks of receipt of the manuscript.
PROCESS
Submission of Manuscripts: Each manuscript must be accompanied by a cover letter which includes the following elements:
- The type of manuscript (full length or Anatomical Genomics)
- The names, e-mail address, telephone, and fax numbers of the authors
- The title of the paper and a statement of its specific results and significance
- A statement that the material has not been published and is not under current consideration elsewhere.

Digital Illustrations:
Scaling, cropping, and rotating should be performed in the originating application. We recommend Adobe Photoshop for generating pixel-based graphics and either Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia's Freehand for generating vector-based graphics. Black and white (B/W) line art is either pixel based (typically generated by scanning the image) or vector based (generated using a drawing program such as Freehand or Illustrator). Pixel-based artwork should be supplied in TIFF format and at a resolution of not less than 1,000 dots per square inch (dpi). Vector-based artwork should be supplied as EPS files. B/W halftones should be supplied in TIFF format. The halftone should be provided at the proper resolution. The finished resolution should be at least 300 dpi. Color artwork should be provided as an EPS or TIFF file. Files should be converted from RGB to CMYK. The finished resolution should be at least 300 dpi.
Note that these file formats are not acceptable for printing: JPG, GIF, ONG, PCX, PNG, XBM, Word, and Excel. We recommend creating your graphics in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Freehand and importing them into your page applications as TIFFs with all fonts included. Do not scan figures as JPEGs and convert to TIFFs. For further guidance on preparing digital figure files, authors are encouraged to visit http://cjs.cadmus.com/da/applications.asp.
To ensure that your digital graphics are suitable for print purposes, please go to Rapid Inspector at http://rapidinspector.cadmus.com/RapidInspector/zwi/index.jsp. This free, stand-alone software application will help you to inspect and verify illustrations right on your computer.
Cover Illustrations: Authors are encouraged to submit CMYK color figures for consideration as cover illustrations. These figures must be submitted with the manuscript, preferably sized to 8' x 10' (21 x 26 cm), with 600 DPI/PPI resolution
Care and Use of Experimental Animals: The editorial board requires that all studies involving experimental animals be conducted in a humane manner and in accordance with all local, state and federal guidelines for the care and utilization of laboratory animals. Husbandry of the animals must meet the NIH Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Each manuscript must include details of the a) food and water regimen, b) light cycles, c) appropriate tranquilizers, analgesics, anesthetics and care performed in association with all surgical procedures, and d) manner by which the animals were euthanized, including drugs and their dosages.
MISCELLANEOUS
- Do not hyphenate words at the end of the lines.
- Corrections to the manuscript should be typed or printed legibly in ink.
- Do not begin sentences with abbreviations.
- Spell out the word Figure in the text except when it appears in parentheses: Figure 2, (Figs. 4-6).
- Always spell out numbers when they stand as the first word in a sentence, abbreviations cannot follow such numbers. Numbers indicating time, weight and measurements are to be in Arabic numerals when followed by abbreviations (e.g., 2mm; 1sec; 3ml) In general, write out the numbers one to ten in the text. All higher numbers should be given as numerals.
- The metric system should be used for all measurements, weights, etc.
- Upon acceptance of an article for publication, the author will be asked to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement transferring rights to the publisher, who reserves copyright.
- It is the current policy to underwrite all normal black-and-white tabular and illustration costs.
Proofs: A single set of page proofs will be sent via E-mail to the corresponding author. All corrections should be marked clearly directly on page proofs.
Reprints: Reprints may be purchased at prices quoted on the reprint order form. Reprint orders should be returned with the proofs. It is important to order initially a sufficient quantity of reprints, since the price is substantially higher if they are ordered after the paper has been published.
