Important Notes for Authors
Cell Line Use: Manuscripts based on a single cell line are not acceptable for publication. Please avoid submitting studies relying on only one cell line.
Raw Data Submission: For research articles involving Western blots, it is recommended to provide all raw data images during the revision stage or upon editorial request. These should be submitted as supplementary files (preferably in a single PDF) along with the corresponding figure legends.
Data Availability: Authors are encouraged to make genomic and transcriptomic data publicly available before acceptance or as soon as possible.
Ethical Approval: Experimental research involving humans or animals must be approved by the relevant institutional review board or ethics committee, with the approval number and committee name provided. Research involving human subjects must adhere to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Submission Format: Cell Investigation is flexible regarding the format of initial submissions. Style and length will not directly influence manuscript consideration. No specific structure is required at first submission. If revisions are needed, the manuscript must comply with the journal’s formatting requirements. However, it is recommended to follow best practices to ensure the accessibility and impact of your manuscript.

Cellular growth, differentiation, senescence, and death
Cell signaling pathways
Cancer biology
Tumor microenvironment and cancer immunotherapy
RNA biology and post-transcriptional regulation
Molecular biology of health and disease
Molecular genetics and epigenetic regulation
Molecular therapy
The journal welcomes original research articles, reviews, short communications, and comments that contribute to advancing knowledge in these areas.

Peer review
This journal follows a single anonymized review process. Your submission will initially be assessed by our editors to determine suitability for publication in this journal. If your submission is deemed suitable, it will typically be sent to a minimum of two reviewers for an independent expert assessment of the scientific quality. The decision as to whether your article is accepted or rejected will be taken by our editors. This decision is final.
Our editors are not involved in making decisions about papers which:
they have written themselves.
have been written by family members or colleagues.
relate to products or services in which they have an interest.
Any such submissions will be subject to the journal's usual procedures and peer review will be handled independently of the editor involved and their research group.
All manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial office. Any papers which fail to meet the basic standards of the journal will be desk-rejected for reasons like out of scope, ethical conflicts, high similarities, lack of originality, flaws in research design or methods, etc. The editorial office will reassign selected papers to the Editor-in-chief.
The Editor-in-chief will invite multiple reviewers to review the paper or assign an editorial board member to invite reviewers to review this paper.
After at least two reviewers give their reviews and comments, the Editor-in-chief (or the assigned Editor) provides feedback to the authors, based on reviewer comments and his own review comments.
When the author submits the revised manuscript, the assigned editor and Editor-in-chief will collaborate to make a final decision.
For submissions from the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Guest Editor(s), other journal Board members, and authors who have conflicts of interest with them, we ensure that the paper is handled confidentially by a different team member.
For submissions to Special Issues; if there are conflicts of interest between the Guest Editor(s) and authors, the submissions will be handled by another Editor from the Editorial Board who will manage the peer review process and make the decision whether to accept or reject the paper after peer review.
