Cell Reports

Information for authors

This page describes our policies and provides information that we think will be helpful to you as you prepare manuscripts for submission and publication. If you have submitted a paper and want information about the status of the paper, please log in to our online manuscript submission system, Editorial Manager (EM). If you run into any problems or if you have specific questions, you can always e-mail us at reports@cell.com or call +1 617 397 2800.

About the journal

Cell Reports is an open-access journal from Cell Press that publishes high-quality papers across the entire spectrum of the life sciences. The primary criterion for publication in Cell Reports, as for all Cell Press journals, is new biological insight. Cell Reports publishes thought-provoking, cutting-edge research, with a focus on a shorter, single-point story, called a report, in addition to a longer article format. Cell Reports also publishes resources, which highlight significant technical advances and/or major informational data sets.

Editorial evaluation timeline

We read and evaluate every submission, and we try our best to get back to you quickly. We are mindful of how long it can take to publish a paper, so we work with authors and reviewers to minimize that time. Here’s how long each step in the process usually takes:

Initial decision to review  3–5 days after submission

Decision after review   3–4 weeks after submission

Anticipated timeframe for suggested revisions    2–3 months (with flexibility if needed)

Time to online publication  3–5 weeks after acceptance

Presubmission inquiries

Unsure if your paper is suitable for Cell Reports? Send us a presubmission inquiry at reports@cell.com, and we'll let you know what we think in 2–5 business days. Please include a title, an abstract, and an explanation of why your paper is significant and broadly interesting. You can also submit a presubmission inquiry using this form.

Relationship between Cell Press journals

Co-consideration

If you think your paper might be suitable for two or more Cell Press journals, you now have the opportunity for simultaneous consideration at multiple journals using Cell Press Community Review. With Cell Press Community Review, all the Cell Press life and health science journals of your choice provide unified consideration of your manuscript via one handling editor who works closely with you, your chosen journals’ editorial teams, and expert reviewers from the field to help you navigate a path to publication with Cell Press. To take advantage of this unique opportunity, please submit directly to the Cell Press Community submission site. For more information, view our instructions for authors and FAQ or reach out to us at community@cell.com with any questions.

Transfer of papers between Cell Press journals

We know it can be time consuming to serially submit your paper to multiple journals, restarting the review process each time. Cell Press publishes many journals, and we give you the opportunity to transfer your paper, along with the reviews and the reviewers' identities, from one journal to another. If you have questions about the suitability of your paper for transfer, please contact the editor of the receiving journal. If you have general questions about the transfer process, please refer to our FAQs on article transfers. Often, the editor of the target journal will be able to reach a decision based on the existing reviews. The editors may seek comments from additional reviewers, but we will make every effort to expedite the decision. If you transfer your paper using our online system, you will have a chance to edit your files before they are sent to the receiving journal. You can always submit your paper to another Cell Press journal without mentioning the first review process. In this case, the manuscript will be evaluated as a regular new submission.
