Annals of Clinical Biochemistry

Aims & Scope

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry is the fully peer reviewed international journal of the Association for Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine.

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry accepts papers that contribute to knowledge in all fields of laboratory medicine, especially those pertaining to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human disease.

It publishes papers on clinical biochemistry, clinical audit, metabolic medicine, immunology, genetics, biotechnology, haematology, microbiology, computing and management where they have both biochemical and clinical relevance.

Papers describing evaluation or implementation of commercial reagent kits or the performance of new analysers require substantial original information.

Unless of exceptional interest and novelty, studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not generally considered within the journal's scope.

Studies documenting the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with particular phenotypes will not normally be considered, given the greater strength of genome wide association studies (GWAS).

Research undertaken in non-human animals will not be considered for publication in the Annals.
