About the Journal

The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology.

The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.

(APC) Article Processing Charges

Page charge: Authors should be charged for articles.  

All articles published in IJAE are open access and freely available online, immediately upon publication. This is made possible by an article-processing charge (APC) that covers the range of publishing services we provide. This includes provision of online tools for editors and authors, article production and hosting, liaison with abstracting and indexing services, and customer services. The APC, payable when your manuscript is editorially accepted and before publication, is charged to either you, or your funder, institution, or employer.

Open access publishing is not without costs - SIAI and FUP are not for profit - organization - IJAE therefore levies an article-processing charge of € ... for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable. The cost is reduced to € .... for SIAIA members in good standing with the payment of membership fees.

The publication fee includes peer review, journal production, online hosting and archiving and professional copy-editing charges. Once the paper is accepted for publication, the author will receive an electronic invoice via email.

Reprints: Each author will receive a printed copy of the issue, plus the electronic version of the article published in PDF format.
