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. If you run into any problems or if you have specific questions, you can always email us at editor@molther.org.
Editorial Evaluation Timeline
We read and evaluate every submission, and we try our best to get back to you quickly. We are mindful of how long it can take to publish a paper, so we work with authors and reviewers to minimize that time. Here’s how long each step in the process usually takes:
Initial decision to review 3–5 days after submission
Time to first decision 3–4 weeks after submission
Time suggested for revision 2–3 months
Time to online publication of accepted manuscript*
3–5 days after acceptance
Time to online publication of final proofed manuscript
3–5 weeks from acceptance
Time to print publication Within 3 months of acceptance
*This time applies to OA articles only, not subscription.
Pre-submission Inquiries
Unsure if your paper is suitable for Molecular Therapy? Send us a pre-submission inquiry at editor@molther.org, and we’ll let you know in 2–5 days what we think. Please include a title, an abstract, and an explanation of why your paper is significant and broadly interesting.
Relationship between Molecular Therapy
Journals
Co-submission
If you think your paper might be suitable for two Molecular Therapy journals, you can submit the paper for joint consideration. To do this, upload your manuscript to one of the journals. In your cover letter, please indicate that you are seeking co-consideration and mention the name of the other journal.
Transfer of Papers between Molecular Therapy Journals
Although each Molecular Therapy journal is editorially independent, we have a system that allows you to transfer your manuscript, along with the reviews and the reviewers’ identities, from one journal to another. If you have questions about the suitability of your paper for transfer, please contact the editor of the receiving journal. Often, the Editor of the receiving journal will be able to reach a decision based on the existing reviews. Occasionally, the Editor may seek comments from additional reviewers. If you use our online system to transfer your paper, you will have a chance to edit your files before they are sent to the receiving journal. You can always submit your paper to another Molecular Therapy journal without mentioning the first review process. In this case, the manuscript will be evaluated as a regular new submission.
