Comparative Hepatology is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal for liver-oriented research, publishing basic and applied studies, in biology, veterinary and human medicine.

Comparative Hepatology aims to become a valuable reference forum for publication of high quality, original research on the normal or disrupted anatomy and physiology of the liver, including any of its supracellular, cellular or subcellular components. The journal considers manuscripts that deal descriptively or experimentally with the liver. It also welcomes pathobiology studies. Translational research reports are encouraged and purely clinical hepatology is considered, especially when it bears new insights on the structure and function of the liver. Multidisciplinary approaches are encouraged, and manuscripts are acceptable where liver is the major focus of the study.

Comparative Hepatology is unique in its field, allowing and encouraging publication of data from liver research spanning a wide range of scientific interests and species, as long as the results and conclusions are original and scientifically justified. The journal naturally brings together hepatologists with different views, expertises and particular interests, thus promoting multi-disciplinary study. Making all its content Open Access, and not retaining copyright, the journal offers a way to make data both freely available and highly visible to hepatologists worldwide; this will benefit the impact of your publication among peers and society. The journal has unrestricted space and takes advantage of all the technical possibilities available for electronic publishing.
