Peer Review Timeline
We maintain transparent, predictable timelines throughout the review process. Our molecular biology editorial board and expert reviewers work efficiently to provide thorough evaluation while respecting your publication timeline.
Your manuscript is logged into our system and you receive confirmation. Initial completeness check performed within 24 hours.
Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor reviews manuscript for scope, quality, and adherence to stem cell research standards. Plagiarism check performed using iThenticate.
Manuscript assigned to 2-3 expert reviewers with specific expertise in your research area (e.g., pluripotency, differentiation, gene regulation, stem cell niche).
Reviewers evaluate scientific rigor, methodology, data interpretation, and significance to stem cell biology. Average review completion: 21 days.
Editor synthesizes reviewer feedback and makes decision: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject. Detailed feedback provided for all decisions.
Authors submit revised manuscript with point-by-point response to reviewer comments. Minor revisions: 2 weeks suggested. Major revisions: 4-6 weeks suggested.
Revised manuscripts undergo expedited re-review focusing on addressed concerns. Minor revisions may receive editor-only review.

What Happens After Submission?
Initial Editorial Assessment
Within 3 days of submission, our editorial team conducts a comprehensive initial assessment. We evaluate whether your stem cell research aligns with our journal scope, meets basic quality standards, and presents novel contributions to molecular biology. Manuscripts are screened for:
- Scientific rigor and methodological soundness
- Relevance to stem cell biology and molecular mechanisms
- Originality and significance of findings
- Completeness of data and appropriate statistical analysis
- Adherence to ethical standards for stem cell research
- Plagiarism check (manuscripts with >30% similarity require revision)
Peer Review Process
Manuscripts passing initial screening are assigned to 2-3 expert reviewers selected based on their specific expertise in your research area. Our reviewer pool includes leading researchers in:
- Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells
- Adult stem cell populations (hematopoietic, mesenchymal, neural)
- Molecular mechanisms of self-renewal and differentiation
- Epigenetic regulation and chromatin remodeling
- Signaling pathway analysis and systems biology
- Gene editing and genetic manipulation techniques
- Omics approaches (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics)
Reviewers provide detailed feedback on experimental design, data interpretation, statistical analysis, and overall contribution to the field. The review process is double-blind to ensure objective evaluation.
Editorial Decisions
Based on reviewer recommendations, the handling editor makes one of four decisions:
- Accept: Manuscript meets all standards and requires no revisions (rare for initial submission)
- Minor Revisions: Small changes needed; typically addressed within 2 weeks
- Major Revisions: Significant improvements required; additional experiments may be requested
- Reject: Manuscript does not meet publication standards; detailed feedback provided for improvement
Revision and Re-review
For manuscripts requiring revisions, authors receive detailed reviewer comments and editor guidance. Your revision should include:
- Point-by-point response to each reviewer comment
- Revised manuscript with changes highlighted
- Additional data or analyses if requested
- Updated figures or supplementary materials
Revised manuscripts undergo expedited re-review (typically 14 days) focusing on how well concerns were addressed. Minor revisions may receive editor-only review for faster processing.
Publication and Dissemination
Upon final acceptance, your manuscript enters production. Our team handles:
- Professional copyediting for clarity and consistency
- Typesetting in journal format
- DOI assignment for permanent citation
- Metadata preparation for indexing databases
- Open access publication with CC-BY license
