Moreover, manuscripts dealing with all forms of anatomical teaching and new forms of curricula will be considered for publication. Priority will be given to experimental studies; merely descriptive studies will only be published if the Editors consider that they are of functional significance.
For more than a century the Annals of Anatomy have been one of the most famous and widespread journals on morphology. The journal is the official journal of the Anatomische Gesellschaft (Anatomical Society).
