Journal of Experimental and Clinical Anatomy

About the Journal

Journal of Experimental and Clinical Anatomy (JECA) is the official publication of the Society of Experimental and Clinical Anatomists of Nigeria (SECAN). The Journal publishes two issues per year (June and December). JECA publishes articles on problems and issues in experimental and clinical anatomy.

Scope: The journal accepts for publication, high standard-containing reports or original scientific researches in the areas of morphology, mechanical functioning and development of man and animals as well as novel experimental procedures. The scope of the journal embraces articles of human and comparative anatomy, developmental anatomy, biomechanics, histology and cytology, histochemistry/ immunohistochemistry, neuroscience and functional aspects of anatomical sciences. As a publication with background in pure and applied research, the journal recognizes the importance of descriptive studies in the morphological aspects of molecular, cellular, systems and evolutionary biology. Clinical updates and case reports relating to consequences of disruption of cells, tissues or organ architecture are acceptable for publication.
