Abstract
The discipline of clinical chemistry is dynamic. Even a superficial glance at contents pages of the Journal over recent years demonstrates a marked evolution of the field. Appropriately, the Information for authors has also changed over the years to reflect new concepts of what constitutes an acceptable publication.Keywords
