The Journal of Morphology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of anatomy and morphology featuring primary research articles, review articles, and meeting abstracts.[1] The journal was established in 1887 by zoologists and morphologists Edward Phelps Allis and C. O. Whitman.[2] The journal appeared regularly from 1887 onwards and made a financial loss. Allis provided the support necessary for the journal to continue appearing until, after a short gap, the journal underwent reorganization in 1907 when it was taken over by Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, as a more permanent solution to its financial problems. [3] As of 2022, it is edited by J. Matthias Starck.[4]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 1.804, ranking it 12th out of 21 journals in the category "Anatomy & Morphology".[5]
