Introducing the Journal of Pathology Informatics

JPI is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the advancement of Pathology Informatics.Prior to 1980, informatics was more widely practiced in Pathology than in general medicine.[2] The American Board of Pathology actively pursued the establishment of clinical informatics as a subspecialty of Pathology from 1991 through 1995, [3] but at the time it seemed that informatics was more of an art than a testable body of knowledge.Nevertheless, medical informatics was considered to be a "very young field," [4] particularly within Pathology.[5,6] Informatics has since rapidly grown [7] and has had an ever expanding impact on Pathology.[8][9][10][11][12] With a growing membership in API, and consistently strong attendance figures at Pathology Informatics conferences, it is the perception of the API Governing Council that there is a sufficient author and an audience base for a high-quality Pathology Informatics-focused journal.This journal aims to publish broadly on all aspects related to Pathology Informatics and to freely disseminate articles worldwide.JPI should be of interest not only to pathologists, but also to all laboratorians, informaticians, clinical informaticists, health IT specialists, information officers, researchers, vendors, and anyone else with an interest in informatics.
