Aims and Scope

stemcell journal

StemJournal

StemJournal is an international, multidisciplinary, open access forum for communicating outstanding stem cell research, including basic biology, clinical applications, disease modeling, computational and systems biology, and data science.

The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed content covering a wide range of topics related to stem cell research. Content includes Research Reports and Review Articles: 

  • Seminal Reviews are comprehensive and authoritative and provide directions for further research;
  • Topical Reviews are more focused providing coverage on a topic of immediate interest and importance; 
  • Comparative Reviews compare the efficiency of different protocols on different cell lines or test several protocols for one to two cell lines only;
  • Ethics Reviews highlight and target unresolved issues where failure to act or resolve disagreements leads to bottlenecks in productivity in research.

Also included is a variety of Other Content, such as Short Reports, Hypotheses, Book Reviews, Letters to the Editor, Commentaries, and Ethics Reviews/Responses.

Protocols are also published in the journal. StemJournal and StemBook collaborate with Stem Cell COREdinates to validate new and current protocols encompassing various methods to generate, edit and differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells into various lineages.
