Journal Overview

Diagnostic Cytopathology is a monthly publication presenting the latest information on the practical applications of clinical cytology in determining the etiology, diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic options of benign and malignant disease. The journal welcomes articles based on the study of cyto-histological samples obtained in a non-invasive fashion and examined by routine and ancillary methods. Committed to bridging the gap between cytopathology and surgical pathology, Diagnostic Cytopathology stresses the value of clinical-pathological correlations, as well as the correlation between cytological and histological findings, as the gold standard for the accuracy and reliability of cytological diagnoses. Whereas the early diagnosis of cancer remains at the core of our publishing philosophy, topics of interest include all subjects that impact the practice of cytopathology and its scientific basis.

Symposium Issues. Diagnostic Cytopathology publishes both print and on-line-only special issues dedicated to a single topic or organ system. These themed issues are usually by invitation to a guest editor, but the journal will consider proposals from authors and organizations willing to cover the expenses of publishing a portion of or a complete special issue. Proposals must be submitted via email to the editorial office and include the topic, the number of articles, potential authors, length of the papers, number of illustrations, and other pertinent details, including sponsorship information, source of funding, and disclosures. Sponsorship may be in the form of advertising pages for products related to the practice of cytopathology, or funding to cover the cost of publication online or in print. Proceedings of meetings will not be considered for publication as a special issue. Topics must first be reviewed by the editorial board and all articles will be peer-reviewed prior to their publication. Ample amount of time should be allotted to the production time of these special issues.

Types of Article Published in Diagnostic Cytopathology:

Original Article. Studies of a large series of cases (usually 12 or more) obtained as fine needle aspiration and core biopsies, non-gynecological specimens and gynecological samples, including liquid-based preparations. Focus: cyto-histological correlation; new information derived from assessment of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of a diagnostic modality; impact of newer procedures for collection of clinical samples; cost-effectiveness of different approaches for the diagnosis of the same entity; applications of newly developed immuno-histochemical markers to elucidate the phenotype of cell populations; newer applications of existing methodologies, including automation, morphometry, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, image analysis, cytogenetics, in-situ hybridization and other ancillary techniques applicable to small cyto-histological samples; and other topics based on original observations, new insights and novel utilization of established technologies. Restrictions: None

Brief Report. Report of a single case or a small series (fewer than 12) with unique content and exceptional clarity. Reports should be succinct with a single well-defined message. Focus: rare conditions, unique findings, overlapping features, uncommon presentations, unexpected outcomes, confounding factors and other unusual observations. Note: Authors may be asked to revise and re-submit a Brief Report in the Letter to the Editor or Images in Cytology format, in order to maximize the value of their reported experience. Restrictions: 1200 words of body text for a single case, 1500 words of body text for a small series; maximum 6 figures

Timely Review. Comprehensive review and/or critique of the literature paired with the authors’ experience of an organ system, clinical condition, or technology. Must be thorough and provide educational value and scientific insight. Case reports do not qualify as Timely Review articles. Restrictions: None

Images in Cytology. Rely on the visual singularity of their illustrations to call attention to a rare condition or provide exceptionally classical examples of a common entity. Succinct reviews of the literature add value. Authors should be concise in descriptions of cytological findings; the pictures tell the story and catch the attention of the reader. Restrictions: 1000 words of body text; maximum 6 figures

Molecular Cytopathology. Describe original observations based on translational research, molecular testing, and the identification of targets for novel forms of treatment. Restrictions: None

Letter to the Editor. Commentaries in response to a recently published article, or focused, timely communications of immediate interest to the readership. Letters may also describe a unique clinical observation in a shorter format than a brief report, or consist of opinions that benefit from a direct style and a shorter length than an Editorial. Restrictions: 1000 words of body text; maximum 3 figures and 1 table

Editorial. Recognized leaders in the field of cytopathology may offer their opinions regarding an article or a group of related papers appearing in the same issue of the journal. Editorials are usually by invitation of the Editor-in-Chief but may also include the unsolicited analysis of new trends in the practice of cytopathology or the author’s perspective on articles recently published in Diagnostic Cytopathology or in another journal. Restrictions: None

Book Review. Reviews of newly-published text-books, atlases and monographs dedicated to cytopathology and its related disciplines. Organ-specific books with emphasis on cyto-histological correlation and adjunctive technique as well as texts with advances in new technology are also welcome. Restrictions: 1000 words of body text

Special Contribution. Diagnostic Cytopathology will consider for publication special articles that highlight the solution of diagnostic dilemmas, the history of the field, geographic cytopathology, communications from professional organizations, and presentations of new regulations and special developments in practice. For more information on submitting a Special Contributions article, please query the editorial office.

NEW! Educational Forum. An opportunity for residents and fellows to be first author on a paper, an Educational Forum paper can take the form of a case report (single case or small series) or a short review (a focused piece pairing the authors’ experience of a specific organ, clinical condition, technology, diagnostic entity, or test with a review and/or critique of the literature). Full reviews of broader topics should be submitted as Timely Review articles. Restrictions: 2,000 words of body text; 2 authors (the resident or fellow is the first author, and a faculty mentor is the second author.)

Publication Ethics. Wiley-Blackwell is a member of the UK Committee on Publication Ethics. Authors must disclose funding sources and conflicts of interest (for more details, see "Title Page" under "Submissions" below. Authors must follow ethical guidelines in experiments and verify this in the Methods section of their work (for more details, see "Methods Section" under "Submissions" below). Original textual matter quoted from other authors must have formal citation and be appropriately attributed and referenced. Any statements that might be construed as defamatory must be avoided. The Editors reserve the right to reject a paper on ethical grounds. For more detailed ethical guidelines, please visit: http://www.wiley.com/bw/publicationethics/.
