StemJournal | COVID-19 Statement

For all our colleagues, the current situation means many labs are closed and/or have been turned into testing facilities – as in the case of our Associate Editor George Murphy's lab, which was transformed in a matter of days last month (read more about that in Boston University's report here).

In this newsetter, we regularly introduce different members of the team for you to hear from esteemed colleagues about how they felt on joining the Editorial Board of StemJournal. Our website features these profiles (gathered pre-lockdown) and they can be accessed via the Editorial Board page. In this mailing, we are pleased to introduce Agnete Kirkeby and Jonathan Hoggatt.

Submit Your Research

StemJournal publishes original, peer-reviewed content covering a wide range of topics related to stem cell research as three major article types: research reports; review articles; and protocols. More details here.

Why submit to our open access stem cell journal?

The many benefits for contributing authors include:
• First class Editorial Board (see here)
• Hassle free submission process via Editorial Manager (see here)
• Rigorous peer review and speedy manuscript processing
• Rapid online publication (pre-press)
• Significantly reduced article processing charge for papers accepted in 2020

As an additional benefit, authors of accepted papers are invited to join the StemJournal Editorial Advisory Board. Read more here.

Official Launch of StemRxiv

StemRxiv (pronounced "stem archive"). This is a preprint portal that allows researchers to submit, publish, and access stem cell preprints. Specifically, you can visit the portal to:

Search Preprints: You can "search" StemRxiv to discover the latest research findings before they are published in peer-reviewed journals. It is the one place to visit to uncover the latest updates from the area of stem cell research that is of interest to you.

Submit Preprints: To find out how to "submit" your preprint, jump over to this page. If you already have a stem cell preprint in BioRxiv or MedRxiv, you can arrange a "direct tranfser" to StemJournal as discussed in this blog post.

By offering this preprint service to our audience of stem cell researchers, we are hopeful to spread the word of StemJournal and receive more submissions (the early years for new journals are particularly difficult after all). We invite you to share news of StemRxiv and the journal by sharing this newsletter to any interested parties. We also appreciate your feedback about the new preprint portal; please contact us by email.

StemRxiv is associated with StemJournal and both are components parts of StemHub
