投稿须知/期刊简介:

Cell Biology International is the official publication of the International Federation for Cell Biology. Each month, the journal publishes easy-to-assimilate, up-to-the-minute reports of experimental findings 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 (physiological) context - are very welcome. In covering all areas of the cell, the journal is both appealing and accessible to a broad audience.

Each month, the journal publishes easy-to-assimilate, up-to-the minute reports of experimental findings by researchers using a wide range of the latest techniques. Promoting the aims of cell biologists worldwide, papers reporting on structure and function - especially where they relate to the physiology of the whole cell - are strongly encouraged. Molecular biology is welcome, as long as articles report findings that are seen in the wider context of cell biology. In covering all areas of the cell, the journal is both appealing and accessible to a broad audience. Authors whose papers do not appeal to cell biologists in general because their topic is too specialized (e.g. infectious microbes, protozoology) are recommended to send them to more relevant journals. Papers reporting whole animal studies or work more suited to a medical journal, e.g. histopathological studies or clinical immunology, are unlikely to be accepted, unless they are fully focused on some important cellular aspect. These last remarks extend particularly to papers on cancer. Unless firmly based on some deeper cellular or molecular biological principle, papers that are highly specialized in this field, with limited appeal to cell biologists at large, should be directed towards journals devoted to cancer, there being very many from which to choose. The Journal Features: Original papers: articles relating to all aspects of animal and plant cell biology Short communications: brief and rapidly published papers making a specific well-documented point Mini-reviews: usually invited contributors providing state-of-the-art overviews of hot topics Reviews Commentaries and letters to the editor, including critiques of recent papers, often by invited contributors
