Guidelines, Best Practices, and Standardization in Digital Pathology Series

Digital pathology is transforming diagnostic accuracy, research reproducibility, and healthcare efficiency. Whole slide imaging (WSI), artificial intelligence (AI)-driven image analysis, cloud-based platforms, and other digital tools are expanding the potential of laboratory workflows, pathology departments, and research institutions worldwide. Robust guidelines, best practices, and standardization are necessary to ensure consistent quality, reliability, interoperability, and optimal patient care. This special issue of the Journal of Histotechnology aims to advance the implementation of digital pathology through evidence-based guidance. We invite pathologists, researchers, technologists, ethicists, industry professionals, and all stakeholders at the forefront of digital pathology to contribute. Submissions should offer novel insights, methodologies, case studies, or critical analyses that advance the guidelines, best practices, and standardization for effective implementation of digital pathology.

The Histology for Spatial Biology Special Collection Series (2025)

This special collection aims to bridge the evolving synergies between histology and spatial biology. By providing a platform for best practices, innovations, and cross-disciplinary dialogue, we seek to chart the future of histotechnology that leads, transforms, and elevates scientific discovery. Spatial biology represents a potential catalyst for the transformation of histotechnology, enhancing both its intellectual impact and technical relevance in modern science. We welcome contributions that advance not only the technical and methodological aspects of spatial omics but also amplify the voices of practitioners in the field. By addressing current blind spots and leveraging practical expertise, this initiative aims to foster a robust and collaborative future for histology and spatial biology alike.
