Affirm Journal of Anatomy is a journal of morphology publishing empirical studies, review articles, and book reviews. The journal aims to help the readership understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development, and evolution. The articles submitted to Affirm Journal of Anatomy must have relevance to the anatomical community with a focus on experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology, and modern imaging techniques. Descriptive studies are appropriate if they communicate a broader functional or evolutionary significance. Articles covering bioinformatics and other topics that clarify or provide tools for functional anatomical understanding will also be considered. We understand that academic publishing has undergone enormous changes which have not always been for the better. To avoid malpractices in this regard, we expect the researchers to abide rules of conducting ethical research. The accredited editorial board of Affirm Journal of Anatomy will have a close look at every single manuscript sent to the journal and are sensitive to issues such as ghostwriting, unethical research practices, and inscrutable research reports. Affirm Journal of Anatomy abides Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing suggested by The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), and Scopus.
