Cell and Tissue Biology is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original and review articles on vast aspects of cell research, including morphology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, molecular biology, immunology. The journal accepts manuscripts describing original experimental research, theoretical research suggesting novel principles and new hypotheses, and critical reviews highlighting major developments in cell biology. The main objective of the journal is to reflect studies on cells (animal and plant cells, both in vivo and in cell culture) offering insight into the structure and functions of live cells as a whole. The journal also publishes articles on biology of free-living and parasitic protists, which, unlike Metazoa, are eukaryotic organisms at the cellular level of organization. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries. PEER REVIEW and EDITORIAL POLICY The journal follows the Springer Nature Peer Review Policy, Process and Guidance, Springer Nature Journal Editors' Code of Conduct, and COPE's Ethical Guidelines for Peer-reviewers. Approximately 14% of the manuscripts are rejected without review based on formal criteria as they do not comply with the submission guidelines. Each manuscript is assigned to two peer reviewers. The journal follows a single-blind reviewing procedure. The average period from submission to the first decision is usually at most 17 days. The approximate rejection rate is 20%. The final decision on the acceptance of a manuscript for publication is made by the meeting of the most active members of the Editorial Board. If Editors, including the Editor-in-Chief, publish in the journal, they do not participate in the decision-making process for manuscripts where they are listed as co-authors. Special issues published in the journal follow the same procedures as all other issues. If not stated otherwise, special issues are prepared by the members of the editorial board without guest editors.
