Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology is a monthly online publication comprising reviews spanning the complete spectrum of the molecular life sciences. Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology provides the life sciences community with authoritative analyses of progress in emerging areas of molecular, cell, and developmental biology, genetics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, cancer biology, and molecular pathology. The contributions are written by leading researchers in each field and commissioned as Subject Collections by a board of eminent academic editors, all of whom are acknowledged to be key figures in their particular fields. These Subject Collections gradually accumulate articles as new issues of the journal are published and, when complete, each represents a comprehensive survey of the field it covers. Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology is thus unmatched in its depth of coverage and represents an essential source where readers can find informed surveys and critical discussion of advances in the molecular life sciences.

Current Biology

Current Biology publishes papers reporting findings in any area of biology that have sufficient claim to be of general interest – this could be, for example, because the advance is important for a specific field, or because it is intrinsically of wide interest to biologists generally. We have several formats for publishing original research – see below for details.

Current Opinion in Cell Biology

Current Opinion in Cell Biology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.

In Current Opinion in Cell Biology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:

1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form.
2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications

Current Opinion in Cell Biology will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.

• Genetics of system biology

Development

Development is a leading primary research journal in the field of developmental biology that is published by The Company of Biologists, a not-for-profit charitable organization run by biologists for the benefit of the biological community. From its initial launch in 1953 as the Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology to the present day, Development continues to publish cutting-edge research articles across the spectrum of plant and animal development, covering topics ranging from stem cells and nuclear reprogramming, to evolutionary developmental and systems biology, from neurobiology to regional specification, morphogenesis and organogenesis, and from epigenetics to the aetiology of disease.

Developmental Cell

Developmental Cell is a broad-spectrum journal that covers the fields of cell biology and developmental biology. It publishes research reports describing novel results of unusual significance in all areas of these two fields, and at the interface between them. Each issue also contains review articles tailored to the journal's broad readership. With this wide coverage, Developmental Cell is a unique cross-disciplinary resource for researchers in both these fields, and for the general scientific community.

Developmental Cell will consider papers in any area of cell biology and developmental biology. Examples of these include cell proliferation, intracellular targeting, cell polarity, membrane traffic, cell migration, stem cell biology, morphogenesis, developmental roles of genes or pathways, and differentiation. The primary criterion for publication in Developmental Cell, as for all Cell Press journals, is new biological insight. We are happy to consider any study that leads to important new conclusions about biological function.

EMBO Journal

The EMBO Journal provides for rapid publication of full-length papers describing original research of general rather than specialist interest in molecular biology and related areas. The journal encourages and publishes articles that report novel findings of wide biological significance in the areas of development, immunology, neuroscience, plant biology, structural biology, genomic & computational biology, genome stability & dynamics, chromatin & transcription, RNA, proteins, cellular metabolism, signal transduction, cell cycle, differentiation & death, membranes & transport, cell & tissue architecture, microbiology & pathogens and molecular biology of disease.

The EMBO Journal has established itself over the last two decades as one of the most influential molecular biology journals. It is highly appreciated by scientists throughout the world. This is reflected not only in the approximately similar submission rates from Europe and non-European countries, but also by the fact that leading scientists throughout the world provide the editors with expert refereeing, ensuring the high quality of articles published in The EMBO Journal. In addition, the editors are supported in the selection of papers by an active Advisory Editorial Board. The EMBO Journal is one of the most highly cited journals, reflected in its latest impact factor of 10.124*

Journal of Biological Chemistry

The Journal of Biological Chemistry publishes papers based on original research that are judged to make a novel and important contribution to understanding the molecular and cellular basis of biological processes.

Journal of Cell Science

Journal of Cell Science is committed to publishing the full range of topics in cell biology, and the single most important criterion for acceptance is scientific excellence. Articles must therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis that will provide novel perspectives and approaches to understanding cell biology, and will stimulate the interest of the broad readership of the Journal.

The Journal does not publish purely descriptive articles on the expression of specific genes or proteins in particular cell types, articles that demonstrate the effect of a particular substance on a given cell line without having any broad biological significance, or articles that simply describe a method or reagent.
