每個(gè)月，該雜志都會發(fā)布易于吸收的最新實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果報(bào)告，這些報(bào)告是研究人員使用各種最新技術(shù)得出的最新實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果。為了促進(jìn)世界范圍內(nèi)細(xì)胞生物學(xué)家的目標(biāo)，強(qiáng)烈鼓勵發(fā)表有關(guān)結(jié)構(gòu)和功能的論文，特別是與整個(gè)細(xì)胞生理有關(guān)的論文。分子生物學(xué)是受歡迎的，只要文章報(bào)告的發(fā)現(xiàn)是在細(xì)胞生物學(xué)的更廣泛的背景下看到。由于涵蓋了細(xì)胞的所有區(qū)域，該雜志既具有吸引力，又可為廣大讀者所接受。一般來說，如果作者的論文對細(xì)胞生物學(xué)家沒有吸引力，因?yàn)樗麄兊闹黝}過于專門化(如傳染性微生物、原生動物學(xué))，建議他們將論文發(fā)表在更相關(guān)的期刊上。報(bào)道整個(gè)動物研究或更適合醫(yī)學(xué)雜志的工作的論文，例如組織病理學(xué)研究或臨床免疫學(xué)，不太可能被接受，除非它們完全集中在一些重要的細(xì)胞方面。最后這些話特別適用于有關(guān)癌癥的論文。除非是基于更深層次的細(xì)胞或分子生物學(xué)原理，否則那些對細(xì)胞生物學(xué)家沒有多大吸引力的高度專業(yè)化的論文，應(yīng)該直接發(fā)表在專門研究癌癥的期刊上，因?yàn)榭晒┻x擇的期刊非常之多。《華爾街日報(bào)》特點(diǎn):原始論文:涉及動植物細(xì)胞生物學(xué)各方面的文章簡短的交流:簡短而迅速地發(fā)表論文，對某一特定的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的記錄:通常邀請投稿者對熱門話題提供最新的綜述評論給編輯的評論和信件，包括對最近論文的評論，通常是由受邀的撰稿人寫的

Each month, the journal publishes easy-to-assimilate, up-to-the minute reports of experimental findings by researchers using a wide range of the latest techniques. Promoting the aims of cell biologists worldwide, papers reporting on structure and function - especially where they relate to the physiology of the whole cell - are strongly encouraged. Molecular biology is welcome, as long as articles report findings that are seen in the wider context of cell biology. In covering all areas of the cell, the journal is both appealing and accessible to a broad audience. Authors whose papers do not appeal to cell biologists in general because their topic is too specialized (e.g. infectious microbes, protozoology) are recommended to send them to more relevant journals. Papers reporting whole animal studies or work more suited to a medical journal, e.g. histopathological studies or clinical immunology, are unlikely to be accepted, unless they are fully focused on some important cellular aspect.These last remarks extend particularly to papers on cancer. Unless firmly based on some deeper cellular or molecular biological principle, papers that are highly specialized in this field, with limited appeal to cell biologists at large, should be directed towards journals devoted to cancer, there being very many from which to choose.The Journal Features:Original papers: articles relating to all aspects of animal and plant cell biology Short communications: brief and rapidly published papers making a specific well-documented point Mini-reviews: usually invited contributors providing state-of-the-art overviews of hot topicsReviewsCommentaries and letters to the editor, including critiques of recent papers, often by invited contributors
