Fees = $800

Note: we reward our editors and peer reviewers for each manuscript they evaluate. We call it a reward, not a payment. To become an editor or a peer reviewer, please visit the onboarding page.

Authors should note that, after the first review is complete, during manuscript resubmission, a part payment of $300 is due. The balance of $500 is due after your paper is accepted.

Aims and Scope

Independent publishing in Cell Biology allows for the submission and review of manuscripts in cell biology. The word 'independent' emphasizes a new publishing model in which manuscripts are submitted not to publishers, but to a "digitized field" where other cell biology experts would review it. The review process in the digitized field is overseen by coordinating editors, and is exactly the same as normal peer review, save for few adjustments to enhance fairness, transparency and equity.

It is expected that the digitized field is the only such field for cell biology, which then makes it a Unified cell biology field, allowing for the resolution of more fundamental problems. Hence, we call this new publishing model independent, with the added aim of unification.

In pioneering this model, we welcome original, innovative and high quality research in all aspects of cell biology. The scope is as broad as the field itself. Hence, research in all areas of cell biology is welcome.

Review papers, case studies, short communications, etc., of sufficient quality are also welcome for evaluation and subsequent publication. The coordinating editors guarantee a satisfactory experience within this new model.

The accepted papers from this process would be published in the Unified Publishers Journal of Cell Biology. The journal would be published electronically and in print, and fully open access, with no restrictions whatsoever. It would also be indexed in all relevant databases.
