Pathology Archives has as its motive to disseminate a multidisciplinary approach to Pathological Anatomy discipline, emphasizing its importance in daily clinical practice.
In this sense, the journal focuses on the analysis of real clinical cases, without neglecting both doctrinal issues and revisions and updates in Pathology. All of them are powerful tools to promote the quality of knowledge and excellence so demanded by medical society in general.
With this objective, the task of generating quality content, motivating, attractive, updated, concrete and concise and linked to hospital practices has been imposed, also inserting the multi-causal epidemiological vision of medicine.
Likewise, they want to make their pages a forum for discussion where the scientific community can share their results. Which, without a doubt, will lead to progress, both in care and in academics, of the discipline.
Taking into account the technological development achieved by today's society, what better way to achieve this goal and reach the entire specialized scientific community than by publishing your articles directly on an online platform of scientific publications such as OJS?
