The Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease was first published in 2006 by the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews.[3] The editorial goals for the journal were to cover recent advancements in the study of disease mechanism and present new analytical methodologies for pathology.[4] Its first co-editors were Abul K. Abbas, James R. Downing, and Vinay Kumar.[5] Though it was initially in publication with a print volume, it is now only published electronically.[6]
The Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease is helmed by the editor or the co-editors. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors.[9] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee.[10]
Editors of volumes
Dates indicate publication years in which someone was credited as a lead editor or co-editor of a journal volume. The planning process for a volume begins well before the volume appears, so appointment to the position of lead editor generally occurred prior to the first year shown here. An editor who has retired or died may be credited as a lead editor of a volume that they helped to plan, even if it is published after their retirement or death.
