Call for Papers
Share your anatomical discoveries with the global scientific community through IJHA.
Advancing Anatomical Science
The International Journal of Human Anatomy (IJHA) invites anatomists, medical educators, researchers, and clinicians worldwide to submit original research, reviews, and educational studies that advance our understanding of human structure and form.
IJHA is dedicated to publishing high-quality anatomical research that bridges basic science with clinical application. Our rigorous peer-review process ensures scientific integrity while our open access model guarantees maximum visibility.
Rigorous Peer Review
Every submission undergoes double-blind peer review by experts in anatomical sciences. Our reviewers provide constructive feedback to strengthen your manuscript and ensure scientific validity.
Immediate Global Impact
Open access publication means your research is immediately available to anatomists, medical students, educators, and clinicians worldwide. No paywalls, no embargos.
Comprehensive Scope
IJHA welcomes research from all anatomical disciplines, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and comprehensive approaches to understanding human structure.
Permanent Citation
Every article receives a unique DOI registered with CrossRef, ensuring your work is permanently citable and discoverable through major bibliographic databases.
IJHA welcomes submissions across the following categories:
Original Research
Full-length articles presenting novel findings from morphological, developmental, or clinical anatomy research. Manuscripts should include comprehensive methodology and original data.
Review Articles
Systematic or narrative reviews synthesizing current evidence on significant anatomical topics. Reviews should offer critical analysis and identify gaps for future research.
Case Reports
Reports of rare anatomical variants, developmental anomalies, or clinically significant findings with educational value for anatomists and clinicians.
Technical Notes
Brief reports on innovative dissection techniques, imaging protocols, 3D modeling methods, or educational approaches in anatomy.
IJHA publishes research across the full spectrum of anatomical sciences:
- Gross Anatomy: Systematic, regional, and surface anatomy of all body systems
- Neuroanatomy: Central and peripheral nervous system structure
- Histology & Cell Biology: Microscopic anatomy and tissue organization
- Developmental Anatomy: Embryology and developmental morphology
- Clinical Anatomy: Surgical and radiological anatomy applications
- Comparative Anatomy: Evolutionary and comparative morphological studies
- Anatomical Education: Innovations in teaching and assessment
Priority Research Areas
IJHA particularly encourages submissions addressing: anatomical variations with clinical significance, 3D imaging and virtual anatomy, novel dissection and preservation techniques, and innovations in anatomy education.
