70 years of the <i>Journal of Clinical Pathology</i> : <i>Quo vadis</i> ?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It is indeed an honour for me to take over the role of Editor-in-Chief (EIC) for the Journal of Clinical Pathology ( JCP ) in 2017. Over the past 10 years or so, I have worked with the last two EICs, Runjan Chetty (Toronto) and then latterly with Cheok Soon Lee (Sydney) and am grateful for their contributions in leading the journal to the current level and they have left big shoes to fill. In an era with the continuing proliferation of journals on a daily basis, much like neoplasms in pathology, there are immense challenges faced by both established and neo-journals alike in maintaining the captive audience and catering for needs of the readers. Another hurdle the journal is confronted with is the spread of superspecialisation and the avalanche …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
