About the journal
The Official Journal of the British Society for Clinical Cytology and an Affiliated Journal of over 20 National Cytology Societies
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. The Journal welcomes papers on ultrastructural, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies of the cell as well as articles on 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.
Instructions to Authors
Arrangement of the Manuscript
Papers (in English) should be submitted in triplicate and sent to:
The Editor

Blackwell Publishing Ltd
9600 Garsington Road

Papers are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere, as they become the copyright of the Journal. An accompanying letter to the Editor should indicate the position held by each author. Papers should be presented to the Editor in final form without pencil additions and clearly typed. Care at this stage will smooth the path to final publication. A completed copyright assignment form must be included with the submitted manuscript.
All pages should be typewritten with double spacing and a wide left hand margin (> 5 cm) on standard A4 paper. Number all pages, beginning with title page = l, summary page = 2, etc. The first (title) page should contain: suggested running headline, author's name, e-mail address, department, institution, city and country. The second page should carry a summary of not more than 120 words, clearly stating the important results and conclusions. List keywords below the summary. Use terms from the Medical Subject Headings list from the Index Medicus whenever possible. Use only approved abbreviations and explain them all in a note below the keywords. The third page should start with an introduction, followed by the text, preferably subdivided by headings such as: Study Population, Methods. Results and Discussion. There should be no footnotes in the text. Acknowledge clinical and financial support if appropriate.
Case reports are accepted only if the case is of exceptional interest or novelty. The report should be brief with no initial summary or keywords, no separate conclusion and not more than two illustrations. Cases of lesser importance but with an interesting or new facet may be accepted as a letter at the discretion of the Editor. The letter should not exceed 600 words, with no more than 2 illustrations and up to 6 references. Priority is given to original articles and review or commentary papers and a 'fast track' system operates for papers of topical importance.
All original material will be subject to peer review. Authors are asked to provide the names and addresses of up to three suitable referees, on the understanding that the Editor is not bound by any such nominations.
Spelling should follow the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors.
The SI system of units must be used: for guidance see Units, Symbols and Abbreviations published by the Royal Society of Medicine (1988). Traditional units may be added in parentheses. Illustrations
These should be labelled with the figure number and the author's name in soft pencil on the back, identifying the top edge. Photographs should be glossy bromide prints of good contrast and well matched. An overlay may be used to indicate masking instructions, lettering or arrows. Specific features may be identified for electron micrographs either directly on the prints or on the overlay. Magnification should be noted rather than inserted on the photographs by scales. Photographs should not exceed 213 ?156 mm and authors may be asked to contribute to the cost of printing if the space requested for illustrations is considered excessive. Colour photographs are encouraged but authors will be asked to contribute to the cost of reproduction unless colour has been requested by the Editor. Whenever possible the cost is subsidized. The full cost is approximately ?00 for a full page. Line drawings should be in black indelible ink and twice the size required for publication. Lettering should be on an overlay or photocopy and should not be less than 4 mm high for a 50% reduction. Original illustrations will not be returned until after publication. Save figures on disk in as many different formats as are available to you. Encapsulated postscript CEPS files can usually be used but cannot be modified. Always enclose a hard copy of figures. Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals and typed on separate sheets. All tables and figures should be referred to in the text. References
References should be in the Vancouver style numbered consecutively in the order in which they first appear in the text. List all authors when there are five or less. When there are six or more authors list only the first three and add et al. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references.
