Many of the most important life science discoveries are published in the pages of Cell. Cell includes original research articles of exceptional significance in all areas of modern biology, including but not limited to: Molecular biology (transcription, RNA splicing, RNA editing, DNA replication and repair, protein synthesis and editing, protein modification and degradation, chromatin) Medicine (infectious diseases including HIV and other viruses, cancer, human disease genes) Cell biology (cell cycle, subcellular organization, protein and membrane transport, protein folding and stability, signal transduction) Developmental biology (differentiation and morphogenesis, organogenesis, sex determination, stem cell biology, apoptosis, embryology in all model organisms including plants, mice, fish, flies, chicks, and worms) Genetics and genomics (bacterial regulation, fly and worm genetics, eukaryotic genomics) Immunology (T cell selection, lymphocytes and immunoglobulins, somatic hypermutation) Neurobiology (learning and memory, neuronal guidance and connections, synaptic transmission) Structural biology, microbiology, virology Physiology (receptors, hormone action, obesity, life span) Cell also features topical minireview and review articles in which noted scientists discuss progress in all areas of the life sciences. Additionally, Cell publishes conference and course listings, commentaries, meeting reviews, letters to the editor, book reviews, and an exhaustive list of positions available (these job listings are available online at www.sciencejobs.com). Quality is the cornerstone of every Cell Press journal. From the unparalleled research we receive on a range of topics to the rapid review process, Cell Press sets the standard for excellence in scientific publishing. For the best original research and editorial content, Cell is renowned for being: Respected - Well-known, international editorial board reviews the latest research findings. Fast - Rapid review process helps submissions reach publication more quickly. Affordable - Cell Press offers some of the lowest subscription rates in scientific publishing. Instructions to Authors Cell publishes reports of novel results in any area of experimental biology. The work should be not only of unusual significance within its field but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. Papers should be as concise as possible. The total character count of an article must be under 55,000 (including spaces). There should be no more than 7 figures and tables (which together with their legends should fit into no more than 2 pages). Each figure should consist of a single high-quality print ready for scanning and reduction to fit the printed page of the journal. Papers that do not fit these criteria will be returned to the authors. Submission of Research Articles Papers should be submitted to: Editor, Cell, Cell Press, 1100 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138. Four copies of each manuscript should be provided as well as a word processor file of the text. If a manuscript is closely related to papers in press or submitted elsewhere, it will be considered for publication only after copies of these papers are provided. Under no circumstances will any paper be considered that contains any data that have been or will be submitted for publication elsewhere (including symposium volumes). Revised manuscripts will be reconsidered only if resubmitted within 2 months of the date of the original decision. For submissions that are not published, only available figures will be returned to authors. Prepublication Publicity Policy Work intended for submission to Cell, currently under consideration at Cell, or “in press?at Cell may not be discussed with the media (including other scientific journals) before publication. Providing preprints, granting interviews, discussing data with members of the media, or participating in press conferences in advance of publication without prior approval from the Cell editorial office may be grounds for rejection. Authors are welcome to present and discuss material intended for publication in Cell at scientific meetings; however, we do require that they refrain from discussing the findings with members of the press beyond those included in the formal presentation. In addition, we encourage meeting organizers to contact our editorial office in advance of a meeting if they have any questions regarding this policy. Organization and General Style of Research Articles Summary A single paragraph of fewer than 150 words. The primary goal of the summary should be to make the general significance and conceptual advance of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. References should not be cited in the Summary. Running Title No more than 50 characters (including spaces). Introduction Succinct, with no subheadings. Results and Discussion These sections may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined. Footnotes should not be used and will be transferred to the text. Gene symbols should be italicized; protein products are not italicized. Nonstandard abbreviations should be defined when first used in the text. All text should be letter quality and double spaced. Experimental Procedures This section should contain sufficient detail so that all procedures can be repeated, in conjunction with cited references. References The references include only articles that are published or in press. Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, abstracts, and personal communications should be cited within the text only. Personal communication should be documented by a letter of permission. Please use the following style for references: Article in a periodical: Sondheimer, N., and Lindquist, S. (2000). Rnq1: an epigenetic modifier of protein function in yeast. Mol. Cell 5, 163?72. Article in a book: Sorenson, P.W., and Caprio, J.C. (1998). Chemoreception. In The Physiology of Fishes, D.H. Evans, ed. (Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press), pp. 375?05. An entire book: Cowan, W.M., Jessell, T.M., and Zipursky, S.L. (1997). Molecular and Cellular Approaches to Neural Development (New York: Oxford University Press). Figures Each copy of a submitted manuscript should be provided with a set of figures of sufficient quality for reviewers to judge the data. Multipaneled figures should be premounted as a montage ready for scanning. Magnification should be indicated by a bar scale. Authors will be charged $1000 for the first and $250 for each additional color figure, which partially defrays the cost of separating and printing color figures. Guidelines for submitting electronic figures, which Cell encourages, can be found by clicking here. There are no page charges. Figure Legends and Tables Legends and tables should be included in the submitted manuscript as separate sections, following the style of the journal. Each figure legend should have a brief, separate title that describes the entire figure without citing specific panels. Publication Schedule Papers that do not conform to the general criteria for publication will be returned immediately, without detailed review. Otherwise, we try to let authors have reviewers' comments within a month. If revisions are a condition of publication, generally only one revised version of the paper will be considered. Because of Cell's rapid publication schedule, strict limitations are placed on corrections to articles at proof stage, so manuscripts should be carefully edited before submission and resubmission. Articles will be published within 12 weeks of acceptance. Distribution of Material Publication of a research article in Cell is taken to imply that the authors are prepared to distribute freely to academic researchers for their own use any materials (e.g., cells, DNA, antibodies) used in the published experiments. In cases of dispute, authors may be required to make primary data available to the Editor. Nucleic acid and protein sequences as well as X-ray crystallographic coordinates should be deposited in the appropriate database. Nucleic acid and protein sequences, atomic coordinates (along with structure factors), and microarray data must be deposited in the appropriate public database and must be accessible without restriction from the date of publication. An entry name or accession number must be included in the paper before publication. Microarray data should be MIAME compliant (for guidelines see www.mged.org/miame). Minireviews A minireview discusses briefly a sharply focused topic of recent experimental research and makes it accessible to researchers in other areas. It should direct the reader to a few (no more than 20) key papers in the field, which come under the heading "Selected Reading." Personal communications and submitted manuscripts should not be cited. A minireview should provide a critical but balanced view of the field. Proposals for minireviews may be submitted to the Senior Editors. Letters to the Editor Letters to the Editor should present short, decisive observations of interest based on published data. They should not be preliminary observations that need a later paper for validation. For sequence analyses, authors must provide database accession numbers and other relevant information.
