The Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry
Who we are and what we publish...
The Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry (JHC) is the official journal of the Histochemical Society. As an international, peer-reviewed journal in cell biology, JHC publishes research that enhances our understanding of the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. Our scope includes primary research articles, timely reviews, editorials, and perspectives—especially those that incorporate in situ assays and advanced imaging techniques.
What kind of science will you find in JHC?
JHC focuses on research that investigates normal and pathological processes using state-of-the-art imaging and histological approaches. This includes studies of development, differentiation, disease mechanisms, and cellular structure-function relationships. We also welcome work advancing histochemical and immunohistochemical methods, microscopy, and imaging—particularly when integrated with molecular, genetic, or biochemical tools.
Who reads our journal?
JHC is read by a global community of scientists, including cell and molecular biologists, pathologists, histologists, anatomists, and biomedical researchers. Our readership spans academia, clinical research, and industry, with strong interest in high-quality imaging and spatial biology.
Who publishes in JHC?
Our contributors include early career researchers, experienced investigators, and leading experts in the fields of histochemistry, cell biology, tissue engineering, pathology, and related disciplines. We are proud to support a diverse group of authors from institutions and research centers around the world.
Is JHC right for me?
If your work involves imaging-based analysis of biological structure and function, JHC may be an excellent fit. We actively mentor early career researchers and provide a welcoming editorial environment for both new and established authors. Whether you're developing novel techniques or applying them to address complex biological questions, we encourage you to explore publishing with us.
What are the benefits of publishing in JHC?
Publishing in JHC offers visibility in a respected, society-supported journal with a long-standing reputation in cell biology and histology. Authors benefit from rigorous peer review, constructive feedback, and a commitment to scientific integrity. Our partnership with SAGE ensures wide distribution and discoverability through major indexing services and platforms.
Why is society publishing important?
Society journals like JHC are run by scientists, for scientists. By publishing with JHC, you support a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing research, education, and career development in histochemistry and imaging. Revenues from the journal help fund awards, training courses, and scientific meetings that benefit the broader research community.
Do you have to be a member to publish?
No. You do not need to be a member of the Histochemical Society to submit or publish in JHC. We welcome contributions from researchers worldwide, regardless of membership status.
Do you accept international manuscripts?
Absolutely. JHC is an international journal, and we proudly publish research from around the globe. We value scientific contributions from diverse geographic and institutional backgrounds.
Where can you find JHC?
JHC is published by SAGE and available online at https://journals.sagepub.com/home/jhc. Articles are indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and other major databases, ensuring high visibility and accessibility for your work.
Does JHC offer open access options?
JHC offers an open access option for a fee of $4,200. Authors are not required to have their manuscripts open access.
