Journal Scope

J. Comp. Health Sci. welcomes submissions across a broad range of comparative and translational health sciences.

Clinical & Biomedical Health Sciences — Human and Veterinary

Comparative Anatomy & Histology

Gross and microscopic structure, developmental anatomy, and morphological variation with clinical or evolutionary relevance.

Clinical Biochemistry

Biomarkers, metabolic profiles, enzyme analysis, endocrinology assays, and biochemical diagnostics.

Comparative Oncology

Tumor biology, carcinogenesis, therapeutics, and naturally occurring cancers as models for human disease.

Comparative Internal Medicine

Cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, gastroenterology, neurology, and metabolic diseases.

Clinical Nutrition

Nutritional assessment, dietary management, therapeutic diets, and feed/food interactions with disease.

Surgery & Anesthesiology

Surgical techniques, perioperative care, pain management, and critical care innovations.

Pathology

Histopathology, cytology, hematology, coagulation, and laboratory medicine mechanisms.

Diagnostic Imaging

Radiography, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, and novel translational imaging techniques.

Microbiology & Infectious Agents

Bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, diagnostics, and pathogenesis.

Immunology & Vaccinology

Immune responses, immunodiagnostics, vaccine development, and immunotherapeutics.

Pharmacology & Toxicology

Drug development, pharmacokinetics, adverse drug reactions, and environmental toxicants.

Reproductive Health

Fertility, pregnancy, pediatrics/neonatology, and developmental disorders.

Specialty Health Sciences — Human and Veterinary

Dermatology

Zoo & Livestock Medicine

Health, welfare, biosecurity, and species-specific diagnostics with translational relevance.

Public Health & One Health Sciences

Animal Sciences

Livestock management, genetics, production health, and food systems impacts.

Zoonotic Diseases

Epidemiology and control at the human-animal-environment interface.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

Surveillance, stewardship, and molecular epidemiology.

Environmental Health

Climate change, pollution, and ecosystem disruption impacts on health.

Veterinary Public Health

Food safety, farm-to-clinic linkages, and food security.

Health Systems & Policy

One Health governance, economics, and interdisciplinary collaboration models.

Cross-cutting Research

Translational Biomedical Science: Diagnostics, therapeutics, devices, and cell/gene therapies.

Epidemiology & Data Science: Methods for integrated surveillance and cross-sector data analysis.

Behavioral & Mental Health: Comparative neuropsychiatry, animal welfare, and human-animal bond.

We Particularly Encourage:

Studies co-authored by human & veterinary teams | Research from LMICs | Policy analyses | Method papers
