古病理學是研究和應用從骨骼和軟組織中研究疾病和相關條件的方法和技術?！秶H古病理學雜志》(IJPP)將發表關于人類和動物(包括原始人)疾病的原創和重要文章，其基礎是在從直接觀察到分子、化學、組織學和放射學分析等一系列方法學水平上對包括骨、牙和保存的軟組織在內的物理遺骸進行研究。討論的方法,這些方法可以應用于重建健康、疾病和生活史過去是核心學科,所以《華爾街日報》也鼓勵論文包括解釋和理論問題,和那些疾病研究中心的一個bioarchaeological或生物文化的方法。有關過去疾病的歷史證據(而不是醫學史)的論文也將發表。該雜志還將接受將以前開發的技術應用于新材料的重大研究，將該研究置于當前關于過去人類和動物健康的辯論的背景下。會員的好處：古病理學協會的成員可以作為會員免費在線訪問《國際古病理學雜志》。

Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.Membership Benefits:Members of the Paleopathology Association receive online access to the International Journal of Paleopathology for free as a member benefit.
