About the Journal
Advancing anatomical knowledge through rigorous research and open access publishing.
The International Journal of Human Anatomy
IJHA is an international open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research across all domains of anatomical science—from gross anatomy to histology, from embryology to clinical anatomy.
The International Journal of Human Anatomy exists to advance the understanding of human structure and form through rigorous scientific research. We publish original investigations, reviews, and educational studies that contribute to anatomical knowledge and its clinical applications.
