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.
