International Journal Of Paleopathology

Journal Title：International Journal Of Paleopathology

Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.

古病理学是研究和应用从骨骼和软组织遗骸中调查疾病和相关状况的方法和技术。《国际古病理学杂志》（IJPP）将发表关于人类和动物（包括原始人类）疾病的原创和重要文章，这些文章基于对物理遗骸的研究，包括骨、牙齿和保存的软组织，研究方法范围从直接观察到分子、化学、组织学和放射学分析。讨论如何将这些方法应用于重建过去的健康、疾病和生活史是该学科的核心，因此该杂志还鼓励涵盖解释和理论问题的论文，以及将疾病研究置于生物考古学或生物文化方法中心的论文。还将发表涉及过去疾病（而非医学史）历史证据的论文。该杂志还将接受将先前开发的技术应用于新材料的重要研究，将研究置于当前关于过去人类和动物健康的辩论背景下。

International Journal Of Paleopathology创刊于2011年，由Elsevier BV出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖PALEONTOLOGY - PATHOLOGY全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 ，影响因子指数1.3，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
