Instructions for authors
Comparative Hepatology publishes basic and applied studies, in biology, veterinary and human medicine.
Comparative Hepatology aims to become a valuable reference forum for publication of high quality, original research on the normal or disrupted anatomy and physiology of the liver, including any of its supracellular, cellular or subcellular components.
The journal considers manuscripts that deal descriptively or experimentally with the liver. It also welcomes pathobiology studies. Translational research reports are encouraged and purely clinical hepatology is considered, especially when it bears new insights on the structure and function of the liver. Multidisciplinary approaches are encouraged, and manuscripts are acceptable where liver is the major focus of the study.
Each article type published by Comparative Hepatology follows a specific format, as detailed in the corresponding instructions for authors; please choose an article type from the list on the left to view the instructions for authors.
