Anatomy was founded in July 1983 by Academician Zhong Shizhen, a famous
clinical anatomist in China. It is a state-level core journal of basic
medicine, supervised by the Chinese Association for Science and Technology,
sponsored by the Chinese Anatomical Society, and sponsored by the Department of

For manuscripts
stemming from major national research initiatives, such as the National Key
Research and Development Program, the National Natural Science Foundation of
China, overseas joint fund projects, as well as other high-quality papers with
significant clinical relevance or exceptional scientific value, the editorial
office may, upon completion of the peer-review process, recommend them for online-first publication. Once published
online first, these papers will be simultaneously made available for searching
and downloading in the full-text database of CNKI.
1.2 Submission Guidelines

2. Writing Requirements
2.1 Authorship and Funding Information
Authors' names and institutional affiliations should be formatted in
accordance with the style of recently published articles available on the
journal's website. At the end of the manuscript, the following information must
be provided for both the first author (year
of birth, educational background, academic title, research interests, and
E-mail address) and the corresponding author:. Additionally, the funding source supporting the research should be
acknowledged, with the grant name and number clearly stated, e.g., "Fund
Project: National Natural Science
Foundation of China (30271269)."
2.2 Abstract
All submitted
manuscripts must be accompanied by both Chinese and English abstracts. Each
abstract should be structured into four sections: Objective, Methods,
Results, and Conclusions. The English abstract
should contain approximately 400 words and must accurately reflect the content
of the Chinese version. Preceding the English abstract, the following elements
should be provided: the English title of the article, the names of all authors
(e.g., Liu Dehui), and the institutional affiliations of all authors (down to
the department/unit level).
2.3 Figures and Tables
All figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in the
order of their first citation in the text (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2 / Fig. 1,
Fig. 2). For combined figures consisting of two or more figures, each figures
should be labeled with uppercase letters (A, B, C, etc.) in sequence. Authors
must ensure high image quality with a resolution of no less than 300 ppi. The file size of a single figure is
generally recommended to be above 600 KB and preferably not exceeding 2 MB. If arrows, labels, or other annotations are required in the figure,
authors must provide both the annotated version and the original unannotated version (the editorial office will process the final figure according to
the annotations provided by the authors).
Tables should be presented in a three-line format, with a concise and logical design. When data are limited (e.g., fewer
than five data points), they should be described in the text rather than
presented in a table. For tables involving statistical content, the main
statistical values should be explained in the form of table footnotes placed
below the table, with corresponding data appropriately marked within the table.
Figure legends and table titles must be provided in both Chinese and
English. All textual content within
figures and tables may be presented in Chinese only.
2.4 Reference
In the main text, references should be cited consecutively using Arabic numerals
in square brackets as superscripts, in
the order of their first appearance. For references with three or fewer
authors, all authors should be listed;
for those with more than three authors, only the first three authors should be listed, followed by "等" (for Chinese references) or "et al." (for English
references). The abbreviations of journal titles and author names should follow
the style used in the Index Medicus, as compiled by the U.S. National
Library of Medicine. For Chinese references, a bilingual (Chinese and English) version must be provided.
