Information for authors
This page describes our policies and provides information that we think will be helpful to you as you prepare manuscripts for submission and publication. If you have submitted a paper and want information about the status of the paper, please log in to our online manuscript submission system, Editorial Manager (EM). If you run into any problems or if you have specific questions, you can always e-mail us at celleditor@cell.com or call +1-617-397-2800.
About the journal
Cell was launched in 1974 as the "journal of exciting biology." Now a part of Cell Press, a family of scientific journals, Cell is committed to building on the journal's legacy and reputation for publishing need-to-know conceptual advances in biomedical science and to providing authors with a fast, fair, informed, and responsive review process. Cell maintains editorial independence from its sister journals. Our Ph.D.-trained scientific editors work with authors, reviewers, and editorial board members with the goal of publishing the most interesting discoveries in biology every year, including an annual review issue. Every paper published in Cell is freely available starting 12 months after publication.
We have the utmost respect for you and your work and want your experience working with us at Cell to be positive and worth your valuable time. All of us—editors, journal associates, copyeditors, production editors, illustrators, and press officers—are available to e-mail or speak with you at any time during the process. You’ll find our email addresses on our website contact page. E-mail us and we’ll set up a call.
We’re looking for papers across the breadth of biology and biomedical sciences that report results that prompt new thinking about a biological problem or therapeutic challenge—work that will inspire others to want to build on it. Our scope continually expands and evolves as biology does. We'd like to challenge your perception of what a Cell paper looks like. The way we see it, Cell papers come in many shapes and sizes. Not all papers will have seven figures, and not all papers will have complete molecular mechanisms. If you have interesting and significant conclusions that you can support in a few figures, submit it. If you have made a significant and unexpected discovery that does not include mechanistic insight, submit it. Not convinced? Send us an e-mail describing your findings and why you think they are significant and we'll set up a phone call. We love to talk about science.
When you submit your paper, we'll send you an e-mail with your manuscript number. Within the next 3–7 business days, you'll either receive an e-mail letting you know that your paper has been sent out for review and how to contact your editor or you'll receive an e-mail explaining why we've decided not to send your paper for review. During this initial evaluation phase, our editorial team discusses your paper and your handling editor reads the entire paper. If your paper is rejected without review and our rationale is unclear or you think we've missed something important, please feel free to contact your editor by e-mail, explaining your concerns, and we will continue a conversation by e-mail or schedule a phone call. Our goal is to publish the best, most exciting thought-provoking science and to provide you with our best assessment of whether we think a full review process will be worth your and the reviewers' time. If we have missed something fundamental in evaluating your paper, it doesn't serve you or the journal not to correct that. Keep in mind though that not every negative decision will be reversed with further discussion, and if there isn't a major misunderstanding in our evaluation of your work, your time might be better spent submitting to another journal. If you would like to submit to another Cell Press journal, we can help you with this.
If your paper is sent for review, we aim to get back to you with reviews and a decision within 3–4 weeks. If after review we invite you to revise your paper, we will communicate to you in the decision letter what revisions we think are necessary and what aren't. We don't want you to spend time and money performing unnecessary experiments. The letter will also invite you to schedule a phone conversation with your handling editor to discuss the concerns raised in review and come to agreement on a revision plan. Our intention is to limit consideration to two rounds of review at most and to only one whenever possible. If we take some of the reviewers' suggestions off the table, we will communicate this to the reviewers if we send the revised paper out for re-review.
