About the journal
Aims and Scope
Cytometry Part A embraces all aspects of analytical cytology and cytomics including flow cytometry, image cytometry, bead-based array analyses, slide-based array analyses, as well as other cell-based spectroscopic analyses. The research featured in the journal encompasses not only the development of the techniques and reagents needed to measure cell features and cellular constituents (molecules), but also investigations that primarily employ these techniques for characterization in order to provide an understanding of function and regulation in the context of the cell, organ, and organism. Cytometry publishes original research articles, in-depth reviews, rapid communications of new, novel "hot" topics, and technical innovation articles.
Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policy
Cytometry is the Official Journal of the International Society for Analytical Cytology. Clinical Cytometry is an Official Publication of the Clinical Cytometry Society and The International Society for Analytical Cytology
The scope of Cytometry embraces all aspects of analytical cytology, which is defined broadly as characterization and measurement of cells and cellular constitutents for biological, diagnostic, and therapeutic purposes. It includes components of cytochemistry, cytophysics, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, pathology, image analysis, statistics, instrumentation, clinical laboratory practice, and other relevant subjects. Manuscripts may include new experimental results, descriptions of new methods or modifications of existing ones, or new interpretations of previously published data.
Manuscripts from all countries are invited but must be in English. Authors in Japan please note: Wiley-Japan can provide authors in Japan with a list of recommended services to check and improve the English in their papers BEFORE SUBMISSION. Please contact Masayo Kobayashi in the Wiley-Japan office by fax: 81 3 3556 9763 or E-mail: wileyjpn@mb.kom.ne.jp for more information.
Authors are not required to be members of the International Society for Analytical Cytology.
Review of Manuscripts
An expert and anonymous reviewing process is important in assessing the scientific soundness of contributions to Cytometry and frequently helps authors to present their findings clearly and concisely. The Editorial Board of Cytometry selects reviewers, assists in review of manuscripts, makes recommendations concerning the suitability of manuscripts for publication, and advises the Editor on matters related to publication policy. All manuscripts will be evaluated independently by two reviewers. Reviewers are requested to submit written evaluations employing the following criteria:
1. Does the subject matter fall within the scope of Cytometry?
2. Does the paper describe original findings and add significantly to knowledge in its field?
3. Are the aims, results, and discussion presented clearly and concisely?
4. Are the experimental methods generally acceptable and are they described in sufficient detail to permit repetition of the work?
5. Is the documentation of the findings adequate?
6. Are the illustrations appropriate and of acceptable quality?
7. Are quantitative results statistically supported?
8. Is the list of references current and complete?
The Editor-in-Chief, on the basis of recommendations from the reviewers and the Editorial Board, may accept the manuscript, decline it, return it for revision, or send it to a third reviewer to referee differences of opinion between the initial reviewers.
Forms of Publication.
Cytometry publishes five types of contributed papers:
Articles are full-length reports of original research in all fields of analytical cytology. The investigation may contribute to the development, evaluation, or application of cytometric methods and their use in biology and medicine.
Reviews are comprehensive appraisals of current cytometric issues and advances. They are subject to the same review process as other papers. Reviews are welcomed, but authors should consult the Editor-in-Chief about the suitability of a proposed Review before its preparation.
Technical Notes briefly describe improvements or helpful modifications in procedures for cytometric and related techniques. The Technical Note should include a brief statement of purpose, an adequately detailed description of the procedure, a statement of expected results, and references to pertinent literature. Observations based on the application of the method also may be included.
Rapid Communications are original articles of such timeliness and interest that they merit priority processing. Authors should submit their manuscript with a letter explaining their reasons for requesting rapid processing. If the Editor agrees with the request, the manuscript will receive an expedited review and, when accepted, priority for publication; otherwise the manuscript will be processed as a regular submission.
Letters to the Editor provide a forum for communication of opinion, interpretation, and new information on scientific/political matters. Letters are judged on appropriateness of the subject and interest to the readers. They should be concise and to the point.
Length of Manuscripts and Page Charges
Authors are reminded that brevity is a virtue and contributes to the clarity of their contribution. Normally, articles will be limited to about 5,000 words and a combined total of six figures and tables. Authors will be asked to shorten excessively verbose manuscripts. Authors of articles that exceed eight printed pages will be charged $150 per excess page. Prior to publication, the Editor may waive this charge for authors who specifically request exemption and who provide appropriate reasons to justify their request.
Manuscript Submission
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their manuscripts online at http://cyto-wiley.manuscriptcentral.com/.
Authors are encouraged to include the names and addresses of persons outside their own institutions who might be qualified to serve as reviewers. Authors can request their manuscript not be reviewed by reviewers whose opinion, they believe, may be unfavorably biased. Authors may also request their manuscript be transmitted to specific members of the Editorial Board.
Copyright. Submission of a manuscript implies that it has been approved by all the named authors, that it reports unpublished work, and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, it will become the sole property of the publisher and will be copyrighted in the name of the publisher. The manuscript, in whole or part, must not be published elsewhere in either English or another language.
Manuscript Preparation

Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space (not RGB). If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
