)Molecular Cell is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers research on cell biology at the molecular level, with an emphasis on new mechanistic insights. It was established in 1997 and is published two times per month. Its 2020 impact factor is 17.970. According to the journal web page, Molecular Cell is a companion to Cell, the leading journal of biology and the highest-impact journal in the world. Molecular Cell is a Cell Press journal that aims to publish the best papers in molecular biology and biochemistry.
Launched in December 1997 and published monthly, Molecular Cell defines the field of molecular biology with a relatively small number of significant papers, up to 15 articles per issue. Coverage will extend from structure to human diseases, concentrating on molecular analyses. Topics that will be represented in the first issues include gene expression, RNA processing, replication, recombination and repair, structure, chaperones, receptors, signal transduction, cell cycle, metabolism, and tumorigenesis.
The majority of papers published in Molecular Cell are articles in the format familiar from Cell. However, it also publishes short papers (up to 6 published pages) that make focused contributions on points of general interest. The publication schedule is rapid: on a regular monthly schedule, publication time should average 6 weeks from acceptance.
