Journal of Cytology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Cytology is the official Quarterly publication of the Indian Academy of Cytologists.

It is in the 25th year of publication in the year 2008.

The journal covers all aspects of diagnostic cytology, including fine needle aspiration cytology, gynecological and non-gynecological cytology.

Articles on ancillary techniques, like cytochemistry, immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, molecular cytopathology, as applied to cytological material are also welcome.

The journal gives preference to clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies.

The Journal would publish peer-reviewed original research papers, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and debates.
