Aims and Scope

Journal

of Molecular Cell Biology (JMCB) publishes primary research papers with

findings of unusual significance and broad scientific interest that

contribute to the understanding of major biological processes, with

special interest in inter-disciplinary studies at the cross-sections

between molecular and cell biology as well as other life science-related

disciplines. Subject matter appropriate for JMCB includes, but is not

restricted to, the following: cancer biology, stem cell biology,

molecular genetics and genome stability, gene editing, developmental

biology, immunology, RNA biology, epigenetics, cell biology, metabolic

biology, protein science, neuroscience, computational biology, and

systems biology. By selecting the high-quality papers for publication,

JMCB will provide a first-rate publishing forum for international

scientists in life sciences.

Peer Review

Single-blind

peer review will be handled by our editorial team composed of in-house

scientific editors and Associate Editors for different research fields.

The Associate Editor (Editor-in-Chief) handling the manuscript is

responsible for the ultimate decision.

Manuscripts

that are in principle inappropriate for JMCB due to lack of sufficient

novelty or general interest will be returned to the authors as rapidly

as possible. If a manuscript is sent out for in-depth peer review, JMCB

aims to return reviewers' comments to authors within one month. We will

strive for a constructive and fair peer review process. To provide the

best possible service to our authors, when the situation is appropriate,

we may choose to grant the authors an opportunity to make a tentative

response to the reviews before a formal editorial decision is made (e.g.

in the case of conflicting comments by the referees).

Revised

manuscripts should generally be submitted within two months after the

initial editorial decision is received. Request for a further extension

will be considered on a case-by-case basis by contacting the editorial

office ( jmcb@sibcb.ac.cn ).

Manuscript Submission

Please

read these instructions carefully and follow them closely to ensure

that the review and publication of your paper is as efficient and quick

as possible. The Editors reserve the right to return manuscripts that

are not in accordance with these instructions.

All

material to be considered for publication in JMCB should be submitted

in electronic form via the online submission system at online submission

website . Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the

instructions below, instructions on how to submit your manuscript

online.

Manuscripts that meet the following criteria can be submitted through 'Fast & Green Track'.

Fast

Track allows urgent and competitive research to start the peer review

immediately after submission. Peer review of manuscripts submitted using

the Fast Track can be completed within 1-2 weeks. If you want to submit

your manuscript using the Fast Track, please first contact the

editorial office ( jmcb@sibs.ac.cn ).

JMCB

recognizes that excellent manuscripts may have been erroneously

rejected by other journals. Authors are encouraged to submit such papers

in the original format, together with the reviewers' and/or editorial

comments from peer review by other journals, for consideration by JMCB.

In some instances, the article may be accepted based on the previous

review using the Green Track. If you want to submit your manuscript

using the Green Track, please contact the editorial office (

jmcb@sibs.ac.cn ) with the manuscript materials and the previous review.

Manuscript Types

JMCB publishes three main types of manuscripts that are subjected to online peer review:

Articles

Reviews

Letters to the Editor

Some

other types of manuscripts, e.g. Research Highlights, Perspectives,

Retrospect, and Meeting Reports, are usually commissioned, but reports

and suggestions may also be submitted for the editors' consideration.

These papers, classified as ‘Editorial Materials’, do not contain

primary research data and thus do not undergo peer review.

Articles

Articles

are original papers whose conclusions represent a substantial advance

in understanding of an important problem and have immediate,

far-reaching implications. Articles have an abstract, separate from the

main text, of fewer than 200 words, which does not have references, and

does not contain numbers, abbreviations, acronyms or measurements unless

essential. It is aimed at readers outside the discipline. Articles

should begin with an introduction expanding on the background to the

work (some overlap with the abstract is acceptable), before proceeding

to a concise, focused account of the findings, ending with some

paragraphs of discussion. Materials and methods should be after the

discussion and before the acknowledgements. For an original article, the

total words for the main text (including references and figure legends)

are expected to be no more than 8000, and figures more than 8 can be

set as the Supplementary material.

Reviews

Reviews

should be recognized as scholarly by specialists in the field being

covered, but should also be written with a view to informing readers who

are not specialized in that particular field, and should therefore be

presented using simple prose. Please avoid excessive jargon and

technical detail. Reviews should capture the broad developments and

implications of recent work. The opening paragraph should make clear the

general thrust of the review and provide a clear sense of why the

review is now particularly appropriate. The concluding paragraph should

provide the reader with an idea of how the field may develop or future

problems to overcome, but should not summarize the article. Reviews

should include an abstract of fewer than 200 words and should cite no

more than 150 references. The total words for the main text (including

references and figure legends) are expected to be no more than 10000,

and figures more than 3 can be set as the Supplementary material.
