A new approach for submissions

为论文寻找合适的期刊可不是一件容易的事，也会影响文章发表的速度。为了帮助您快速、轻松地找到合适的期刊，Cell 出版社推出“集体审稿”（Community Review）制度，您可以同时选择多本Cell Press旗下期刊对您的文章进行评议（终于可以“一稿多投”了，哈哈！）。集体审稿制度可以增加您的文稿在Cell Press得到正式同行评审的可能性，同时避免一轮又一轮的评审，缩短从提交文稿到正式出版所需的时间。

Finding the right journal for your paper in a timely fashion can be a major stressor when it comes to scientific publishing. The Cell Press Community platform aims to help your paper find the right home by considering it simultaneously at several journals of your choice, which increases the likelihood it will be formally peer reviewed at Cell Press, reduces serial rounds of reviews and serial rejections, and decreases the time it takes to publish your work with Cell Press. 

在为论文投稿的时候，您可能倍感压力，总想尽快、及时地为文稿找到合适的期刊。为了帮您的研究找到归宿，Cell Press现推出“Cell Press Community Review”制度，允许旗下多本期刊同时考虑您的文章，从而增加您的文章在Cell Press正式进入同行评审的概率。同时避免接连经历审稿、被拒、再投稿的过程，缩短您的论文在Cell Press的整体发表时间。

Introducing the Cell Press Community

With the Cell Press Community, 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.

当您向Cell Press提交论文并选择集体审稿制度时，将有一位专职编辑指导并帮助您走完整个出版过程。Cell Press集体审稿制度的编辑就是您的大使，他们将评估您的稿件是否适合在Cell Press旗下的生命科学和医学期刊上发表。

Cell Press Community editors are your ambassadors for Cell Press and will evaluate your manuscript with an eye for where it might fit across the Cell Press family of life and health science journals. Your editor will consider your paper for the two or more journals you selected when you submitted, as well as for broadscope open access journals like Cell Reports, iScience, and Cell Reports Medicine. If your paper is more suitable for a Cell Press Community journal not selected by you, your editor will discuss these options with you.

Your paper will be considered at multiple Cell Press journals simultaneously using the same review process. A Cell Press editor will provide publication options for you across the Cell Press family of life and health science journals in consultation with peer reviewers and the editors of the journals you choose to be considered for. We will work with you to identify and navigate a path to publication aligned with your resources, needs, and preferences.

您的论文将同时进入Cell Press旗下多本期刊的审稿流程，每本期刊的审稿流程相同。Cell Press集体审稿制度的编辑将与审稿人以及您意向期刊的编辑密切沟通，并在此基础上为您提供出版选择。我们将与您一道，根据您的资源、需求和偏好，确定并引导您走完出版流程。

 您的编辑会考虑您在投稿时选择的两本或多本期刊，以及其他广泛的开放获取期刊，如Cell Reports、Cell Reports Medicine、Cell Reports Methods和iScience。如果编辑觉得您的论文所适合的期刊并不在您所选择的目标期刊范围之内，那么编辑会与您进行讨论调整。

When your manuscript is sent out for peer review, your editor will invite external experts familiar with the respective communities each of your selected journals represents to review the manuscript. Reviewers are provided with a structured reviewer form to help guide discussions with editors and co-reviewers on potential revision paths for the manuscript. Your editor will provide multiple options for you based on the reviews, their evaluation of the manuscript, and consultation with reviewers and target journal editors. We will work with you to identify and navigate a path to publication aligned with your resources and needs.

当您的论文进入同行评审阶段，编辑会邀请外部专家来评审稿件，这些外部专家一定是熟悉您目标期刊受众的人。审稿人会收到一份结构化的审稿记录表，便于与编辑和共同审稿人讨论文章的潜在修改方向。编辑会根据他们对文章的评估、审稿人反馈以及与审稿人和目标期刊编辑的协商意见，为你提供多种选择。

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.

FAQ 

Q: What journals are part of the Cell Press Community platform? 

The Cell Press Community pilot includes the life and health sciences journals, with the exception of our Partner society journals, Heliyon and STAR Protocols.

 Q: How many journals can an author select within the Cell Press Community? 

Authors are asked to select at least two journal options and all manuscripts are also considered for Cell Reports, iScience, and if it has the potential to impact clinical research and practice, Cell Reports Medicine. 

Q: Can a paper be rejected from the Cell Press Community without formal peer review? 

Yes. If the paper is not suitable for any of the participating journals, the paper will be returned to the author without formal peer review. If the author selection does not align with the recommendation of the editor but is suitable for another option within the Cell Press Community, the editor will contact authors to discuss potential paths forward. 

Q: Is it OK to submit directly to one journal via the Cell Press Community? 

No, if the paper is to be considered solely for one journal, it is recommended the manuscript be submitted via the journal specific system. 

Q: What is the benefit of submitting to the Cell Press Community rather than submitting to one journal? 

The Cell Press Community submission platform is geared to increase the number of papers formally peer reviewed, reduce the likelihood of serial rejections and increase the likelihood papers will be published in a Cell Press journal after only one round of major revisions. Rather than submitting a manuscript to one journal, the Cell Press Community platform allows papers to be evaluated for two or more journals at once.
