INTRODUCTION

The Journal of Pathology of Nepal (JPN) is an official, peer reviewed biomedical journal of the ACPN. It will be published bi-annually and it publishes articles using the following categories:

  • Original Article
  • Review Article

The Journal of Pathology of Nepal publishes articles related to anatomical pathology, cytopathology, and clinical pathology. It presents information drawn from morphologic and clinical laboratory studies with direct relevance to the understanding of human disease. Theoretical and experimental pathology and molecular biology pertinent to human disease is included.

The manuscripts will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that they are being submitted to one journal at a time and have not been published, simultaneously submitted or already accepted for publication elsewhere. The editors will review all submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific and technical flaws, or lacking a significant message are rejected.

All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged. They are sent to two expert reviewers without revealing the identity of the contributors. The JPN editors review each manuscript meticulously based on the comments from the reviewers and make a final decision to either reject or publish it. The contributors will be informed about the reviewers’ comments, acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.

If good articles are written poorly then the authors are requested to re- submit after revision according to the JPN format. Articles accepted will be copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style and format. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, which has to be returned to the editorial office within seven days. Non response may delay the publication of the article or even result in being rejected.
