About the journal
Acta histochemica, a journal of structural biochemistry of cells and tissues, publishes original research articles, short communications, reviews, letters to the editor, meeting reports and abstracts of meetings.
The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for the cytochemical and histochemical research community in the life sciences, including cell biology, biotechnology, neurobiology, immunobiology, pathology, pharmacology, botany, zoology and environmental and toxicological research.
The journal focuses on new developments in cytochemistry and histochemistry and their applications. Manuscripts reporting on studies of living cells and tissues are particularly welcome. Understanding the complexity of cells and tissues, i.e. their biocomplexity and biodiversity, is a major goal of the journal and reports on this topic are especially encouraged.
Original research articles, short communications and reviews that report on new developments in cytochemistry and histochemistry are welcomed, especially when molecular biology is combined with the use of advanced microscopical techniques including image analysis and cytometry.
Letters to the editor should comment or interpret previously published articles in the journal to trigger scientific discussions.
Meeting reports are considered to be very important publications in the journal because they are excellent opportunities to present state-of-the-art overviews of fields in research where the developments are fast and hard to follow. Authors of meeting reports should consult the editors before writing a report.
The editorial policy of the editors and the editorial board is rapid publication. Once a manuscript is received by one of the editors, an editorial decision about acceptance, revision or rejection will be taken within a month. It is the aim of the publishers to have a manuscript published within three months after the manuscript has been accepted.

- General. Before preparing a manuscript, authors should consult a current issue of the Journal to become familiar with format and formal aspects of the Journal. Manuscripts and their illustrations must be submitted in triplicate for reviewing. The text must be typed double-spaced throughout on one side of bond or heavy-duty paper A4 (210 mm x 297 mm) with a 3.5 cm margin on all sides. Three sets of figures (mounted layouts of the originals and two sets of good quality photographs, not photocopies) must be submitted.
No charge is made for publication, but authors have to bear the costs of extensive changes introduced after the manuscript has been type set. To assure the widest possible readership, manuscripts written in the English language will be considered only. Authors not entirely familiar with the English language are advised to consult an English-speaking colleague. English spelling should follow the Concise Oxford Dictionary and The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors.
The manuscript should have a uniform style. It should consist of subdivisions in the following sequence: Summary, Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Figure legends, Tables.
Brief accounts containing new interesting results may be published as "short communications". They may not exceed four printed pages, including tables and figures. The figures should not occupy more than two-thirds of one printed page. The editors decide whether a contribution is a "short communication".
- Title page. The first page of the manuscript must include the following: Title of the manuscript; full name(s) of author(s), institution of affiliation and complete postal address; a short title of not more than 60 characters (including spaces) to be used as running head. Subtitles are not encouraged.
- Summary. The first page of the manuscript must include the following: Title of the manuscript; full name(s) of author(s), institution of affiliation and complete postal address; a short title of not more than 60 characters (including spaces) to be used as running head. Subtitles are not encouraged.
- Key words Immediately after the summary, up to seven key words for subject indexing must be supplied.
- Introduction should give the pertinent background to the study and should explain why the work was performed.
- Material and methods must be presented in sufficient detail to enable the work to be repeated by other investigators. This includes details about chemicals, apparatus, experimental design and statistical analysis, names and number of animals used, housing conditions, the anaesthetics and technique of administration as well as information about species, strain, sex, weight and age.
- Results should present the findings of the research without discussion. Results should be written in the past tense.
- Discussion should cover, but not simply repeat the new findings and should present the author's results in the broader context of other work on the subject interpreting them with a minimum of speculation.
- References should conform to the following examples: Lawrence (1990), Yamamoto and Bright (1990) and Yamamoto et al. (1990) or (Lawrence, 1990; Yamamoto and Bright, 1990; Yamamoto et al., 1991).
- All references cited in the text should be listed at the end of the paper as follows:
a) Single author - list alphabetically and then chronologically.
b) Author and one co-author - list first alphabetically by co-author, and then chronologically.
c) First author and more than one co-author - list chronologically (not
alphabetically by the second author) because only the first author's name and "et al." followed by the year of publication will be used in the text.
d) In case that more than one paper by the same author(s) published in the same year is cited, the letters a, b, c, etc. should follow the year
- e.g. van Duijn (1970a) - in both the text and the reference list.
References must include: authors (surname followed by initials), year of publication, complete title of article or chapter, name of journal or title of book, editors (if a book), volume number, name of publisher and place of publication (if a book), and first and last page numbers of article or chapter. Name of journals should be abbreviated in accordance with Index Medicus.

Articles "in press" may be cited in the reference list, but articles "submitted" or "in preparation" should not be included.
- Legends should be typed on a separate sheet and must make the meaning of each figure understandable without further reference to the text. If the magnification is quoted in a sentence, it should appear in parentheses, e.g. (magnification, x 500); at the end of the legend it should appear, e.g. "... fibrils., x 46 000".
- Illustrations. The maximum layout is 170 mm x 225 mm. Figures should be designed to fit either one-column size (8.2 cm) or two-columns size (17 cm) in width. Authors should limit the number of figures to that which adequately presents the findings. All figures should be lettered and numbered. Letraset should be used for lettering micrographs, including figure numbers. Inscriptions must be about 3 mm high. Wherever applicable, figures should contain a bar reference to 1 祄. Wherever possible, individual micrographs should be mounted together in the form of economically arranged layouts. Such individual figures grouped together must be separated by spaces of not more than 1 mm. Each figure should bear the number, author's names and an arrow to indicate top in soft pencil on the reverse.
For technical reasons all illustrations must be mounted on flexible white drawing paper. Thick cardboard is not acceptable.
Color plates can be printed only if part of the costs are covered by the author (approx. EUR 510,00 per page). In cases with a greater number of figures please ask for cost estimate.
Exceptions to this rule are at the editors' discretion.
- Line drawings should be submitted as good-quality flossy prints. Inscriptions should be clearly legible, at least 2 mm high in the printed version.
- Tables must be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals and typed on separate sheets. All tables must be cited in the text and have titles. Table titles should be complete but brief. Numerical results should be expressed as means with the relevant standard errors and/or statistically significant differences, quoting probability levels (P-value).
- Mailing. Manuscripts and illustrations should be well packed to avoid damage in transit.
- Proofs. Two sets of page and illustration proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. All corrections should be marked clearly directly on page proofs.
- Offprints. 25 offprints of each paper are supplied free of charge. Additional offprints are available, provided the order is received with the corrected proof.
- Copyright. Submission of a manuscript implies that the submitted work has not been published before (except as part of a thesis or lecture note or report, or in the form of an abstract ); that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors as well as by the authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out; that written permission of copyright holders was obtained by the authors for material used from other copyrighted sources; that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors hand over the transferable copyrights of the accepted manuscript to the publisher; and that the manuscript or parts thereof will thus not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the copyright holder. Copyrights include, without spatial or timely limitation, the mechanical, electronic and visual reproduction and distribution; electronic storage and retrieval; and all other forms of electronic publication or any other types of publication including all subsidiary rights.
