Aims and scope
Cell Biology International publishes easy-to-assimilate, up-to-the-minute reports of experimental findings in cell biology by researchers using a wide range of the latest techniques. Promoting the aims of cell biologists world-wide, papers relating to structure and function - especially where the findings are seen in a whole cell context - are very welcome. In covering all areas of the cellular biology, the Journal is both appealing and accessible to a broad audience.
Original papers and reviews will be considered. If you wish to submit an unsolicited review article for consideration please send a summary of the proposed article to the Editor-in-Chief, Sergio Schenkman (sschenkman@unifesp.br), who will contact you regarding its potential suitability.
Types of paper published
Research Articles (usually up to 8 journal pages in length): original articles reporting experimental work on all aspects of cell biology
Short Communications: brief papers (4 journal pages or less) making a specific well-documented point
Reviews (8-10 journal pages) and Mini-reviews (2-4 journal pages, 1-2 figures/tables, 14 key references max.): state-of-the-art overviews of hot topics and developments, often commissioned
Education: manuscript (8 journal pages or less), foccusing on teatching cell biology, surveys and commenst regarding educational issues that have broad and international.
Methods: original articles ( ≤8 journal pages describing experimental work using a new methodology which provides a detailed account of the protocol and results without in-depth speculation on the implications of the findings. The new protocol should not be followed up in the same communication with what amounts to a full research paper using it.
Commentaries: short notes or letters (no more than 1 journal page in length) commentating on papers published in the Journal
Originality of papers
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published elsewhere in any language, including publication on the Internet; that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that its for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; that all persons entitled to authorship have been so named; that conflicts of interest have been declared; and that any person cited as a source of personal communication has approved such citation. Abstracts of oral or poster presentations are not considered to constitute previous publication. Preliminary communications in journals that regularly publish reports in this form will not preclude publication of a paper in Cell Biology International, provided the full paper contains additional information that justifies its publication and does not repeat the presentation of the same data. To facilitate evaluation of this matter by the Editorial Board, submitted manuscripts should be accompanied by copies of all preliminary communications and of all relevant manuscripts that are in press or under editorial consideration elsewhere.
Cell Biology International will not tolerate plagiarism in submitted manuscripts. Passages quoted or closely paraphrased from other authors (or from the submitting authors' own published work) must be identified as quotations or paraphrases, and the sources of the quoted or paraphrased material must be acknowledged. Use of unacknowledged sources will be construed as plagiarism. If any manuscript is found to contain plagiarized material the review process will be halted immediately.
Cell Biology International uses iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. To find out more about CrossCheck visit http://www.crossref.org/crosscheck.html.
Effective from the 2015 volume, Cell Biology International will be published in an online-only format.
