The American Journal of Clinical Pathology (AJCP) publishes high quality scientific articles and reviews that are directly applicable to the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine across all clinical settings. This includes investigation of laboratory tests, methods, algorithms, and conceptual frameworks for diagnosis, prognostication, and management in all subspecialty areas of anatomic and clinical pathology. AJCP additionally publishes descriptive case series that add new knowledge or insights into the pathology of specific diseases. Also in scope are manuscripts in the areas of quality improvement, laboratory management, test utilization/stewardship, education and training, and global health. Out of scope are basic or early translational studies without near-term applicability to practice, case reports that don’t add significant new knowledge to the understanding of disease, and purely clinical studies that utilize routinely available laboratory tests.
