The Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of cell biology established in 1953. It covers research in the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs as well as components of development, differentiation, and disease, as well as microscopy and imaging techniques.[1] The journal is the official publication of The Histochemical Society and is published by SAGE Publications. The editor-in-chief is John R. Couchman (University of Copenhagen).[2] The journal is published online and in print monthly. Journal content is available for free after twelve months.
The Histochemical Society was founded in 1950 and at its 1951 meeting a committee tasked with creating a journal for histochemistry was appointed. The founding editor was Ralph D. Lillie[3] and the first issue of the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry was published in January 1953.[4]
In 1997, the journal began publishing online through HighWire Press and beginning in 2004 began to digitize all of its back content. All content back to and including 1953 is now available online.
