For over a decade,BMC Clinical Pathologyhas been receiving and publishing an ever increasing number of articles, while pioneering the open access model. Until now, the journal has been administered by our in-house editorial team. However, as our visibility increases we must put better mechanisms in place to handle increasing submissions and ensure that the journal has the appropriate editorial policies to best serve the scientific community.

我们很高兴宣布BMC Clinical Pathology正在转向新的社论模型。我们呼吁国际专家小组加入我们的编辑委员会部分和副编辑和share their scientific expertise in order to ensure consistent peer review and further development in light of the rapidly growing field.

从本周开始，该期刊将分为七个部分，涵盖了广泛而令人兴奋的病理世界。Neil Sebire, from Great Ormond Street Hospital in theUnited Kingdom, has joinedBMC Clinical Pathologyas Section Editor, heading theAutopsy and Forensic Pathologysection. In this section, we encourage submissions on a wide range of clinical aspects of forensic pathology.

We are also very excited to announce thatFerdinando Mannello，来自Urbino大学的Clinical Biochemistrysection. This section aims to publish articles covering the analysis of bodily fluids; we particularly encourage submission of studies on bodily fluid biomarkers in disease and diagnosis. Professor Mannello is also providing his expertise as a Section Editor inBMC Cancer. This highlights the close relationship between the two journals and will allow for a quicker assessment of the suitability of articles for consideration in one or the other journal.

We want to make sure that we provide a home for all aspects of clinical pathology research. OurCytopathologysection will cover pathology and biomarker studies at the cellular level, and will be headed bySandeep Mathur, from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, while ourHistopathologysection will publish studies on all aspect of histopathology including articles investigating microscopic examinations of tissues from biopsies or surgical specimens. This section will be headed byRui Henrique, from the Portuguese Oncology Institute. Studies on different aspects of hematopoietic cell pathology will be considered in theHematopathologysection, and丹·琼斯从Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute中，将帮助我们评估它们为本节的负责人。

As technological advances provide us with better and more sensitive methods to analyse even sub-microscopic aspects of disease, ourCytogenetics and Molecular Diagnosticssection, headed byKaroly Szuhaifrom Leiden University Medical Center, aims to publish studies on genetic alternations in disease prognosis and provide a platform for sharing new technological advances. Last, but not in any way least, ourMedical Microbiologysection will publish articles relating to the pathology of infectious diseases.

With such a fantastic group of Section and Associate Editors, we are excited to see how the journal will grow in the next decade. As the content of the journal will remain freely available, join us in discovering what the future holds for the field of pathology.
