Why Submit to IJC

IJC provides a focused platform for cell biology research that connects fundamental discovery with biomedical and biotechnological applications. Our editorial scope covers core cellular disciplines as well as emerging methods that illuminate molecular function and regulation.

We value clear cellular insight, strong methodology, and conclusions that advance molecular understanding.

We publish original research, reviews, short communications, methods, and data driven studies that advance cellular understanding. Manuscripts receive expert handling by editors and reviewers who understand the technical rigor needed for signaling assays, structural analysis, omics workflows, and mechanistic studies.

Open access publication ensures rapid visibility, global readership, and practical impact. For authors seeking to maximize citations, funder compliance, and research reuse, IJC offers clear scope alignment and a professional publishing experience.

Manuscript Readiness and Data Quality

Strong IJC submissions present a clear cellular hypothesis, rigorous methods, and transparent reporting. Whether you are describing cell signaling assays, proteomic workflows, or cell metabolism profiling, we recommend clear experimental design statements and complete methodological detail so reviewers can evaluate reproducibility.

Figures and tables should communicate the cellular story with precision. Use high resolution images, report replicates and statistical tests, and include negative and positive controls where relevant. Data availability statements should describe repositories, accession numbers, or how readers can access supporting datasets.

For studies involving human participants or animal models, include ethics approval identifiers and compliance statements. We also welcome pre registered studies and encourage structured reporting standards when available for your research area.

Editorial Workflow and Visibility

After submission, manuscripts receive an editorial assessment and are assigned to subject editors for peer review. Our goal is to deliver a timely first decision while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards.

Accepted articles are professionally produced in HTML, PDF, and XML formats and are integrated with DOI registration and indexing metadata. This ensures your work is discoverable through academic search engines and citation networks.

Authors receive clear status updates at key stages, and revision guidance focuses on scientific clarity, data integrity, and cellular significance. Once published, articles are promoted through journal channels to increase visibility across academic, clinical, and industrial audiences.

IJC welcomes thematic special issues in emerging cellular areas. If you are organizing a research community or conference track, contact us about proposing a special issue or serving as a guest editor.
