Submission guidelines
Instructions for Authors
Histochemistry and Cell Biology is a journal devoted specifically to the field of molecular histology and cell biology. Original Articles and Short Communications dealing with the localization and identification of molecular components, metabolic activities and cell biological aspects of cells and tissues will be published as well as Review Articles. Papers are also welcome that make a substantial contribution to the development, application, and/or evaluation of methods and probes that can be used in the entire area of histochemistry and cell biology. Preference will be given to studies involving experimental approaches and/or a variety of different methods that help to characterize and quantify molecular constituents, dynamic properties and functional aspects of cellular and extracellular structures. Papers should be as concise as possible.
This is the official journal of the Society for Histochemistry (www.histochemistry.eu).
MANUSCRIPT TYPES
Original articles: There is no strict page limit, but we advise a maximum length of up to 20 printed pages (approx. 95,000 characters including references, not counting spaces). Likewise, there is no strict figure limit, but we advise a maximum number of 10 figures. Most importantly, paper length and content must be appropriate. Extensive tables, procedures, computer programs or animated graphics should be presented in form of Electronic Supplementary Material.
Short Communications (SC): The length of a SC is limited to approx. 20,000 characters (not counting spaces), which does NOT include the Materials and methods. SC are limited to five (5) figures. Supplemental material is limited to three (3) figures. Note that the Results and Discussion must be combined.
Reviews: Should address issues relevant to a wide readership and intelligible to non-specialists. We advise a maximum length of up to 20 printed pages (approx. 12000 words not including references). There is no strict figure limit, but we advise a maximum number of 10 figures.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission
Please follow the hyperlink “Submit manuscript” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files. Failing to submit these source files might cause unnecessary delays in the review and production process.

Specific Remarks:
IntroductionSuccinct, no subheadings.
Materials and methodsShould follow the Introduction and should provide enough information to permit repetition of the experimental work.
Policy on Antibody ValidationAny manuscript in which antibody-based data are presented must provide evidence for specificity of the antibody. If the manufacturer of a commercially purchased antibody has provided proof of validation on the technical specifications insert, referring to this information will suffice. In the absence of such documentation, one (or more) of the following methods as recommended by an ad hoc International Working group for Antibody Validation1 must be included in the Materials and methods section:(1) Genetic – target protein expression eliminated or reduced by genome editing or siRNA(2) Orthogonal- target protein expression compared with non-antibody method (for instance, in situ hybridization or mass spectrometry)(3) Independent antibody – compare expression with a second antibody against target of interest, but recognizing non-overlapping epitopes(4) Tagged protein expression – express target protein with a tag in cultured cells; demonstrate overlap with antibody staining pattern(5) IMS – target protein captured by antibody, followed by analysis by MSIn addition to these recommended antibody validation methods, providing a Western blot as a preliminary indicator demonstrating that the antibody recognizes a correctly sized band, as well as known negative and known positive target tissues would be further valuable controls. Importantly, simply omitting the primary antibody is not considered a control for antibody specificity; it only serves to determine levels of non-specific binding of secondary antibodies.1 Uhlen M, Bandrowski A, Carr S, Edwards A, Ellenberg J, Lundberg E, Rimm DL, Rodriguez H, Hiltke T, Snyder M, Yamamoto T (2016) A proposal for validation of antibodies.. Nat Meth 13:823-827.
Results and DiscussionEach may be divided by subheadings. Symbols and names for genetic loci, alleles, DNA and RNA should be italicized. Nonstandard abbreviations should be defined when first used in the text. All text should be double spaced.
Text

Headings
Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.
Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.
Acknowledgments and Funding Information
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full. In addition, please provide the funding information in a separate step of the submission process in the peer review system. Funder names should preferably be selected from the standardized list you will see during submission. If the funding institution you need is not listed, it can be entered as free text. Funding information will be published as searchable metadata for the accepted article, whereas acknowledgements are published within the paper.
References
Citation
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).
This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Please alphabetize according to the following rules: 1) For one author, by name of author, then chronologically; 2) For two authors, by name of author, then name of coauthor, then chronologically; 3) For more than two authors, by name of first author, then chronologically.
If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).
