Journal Title：Stem Cell Reviews And Reports

The purpose of Stem Cell Reviews and Reports is to cover contemporary and emerging areas in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The journal will consider for publication:

i) solicited or unsolicited reviews of topical areas of stem cell biology that highlight, critique and synthesize recent important findings in the field.

ii) full length and short reports presenting original experimental work.

iii) translational stem cell studies describing results of clinical trials using stem cells as therapeutics.

iv) papers focused on diseases of stem cells.

v) hypothesis and commentary articles as opinion-based pieces in which authors can propose a new theory, interpretation of a controversial area in stem cell biology, or a stem cell biology question or paradigm. These articles contain more speculation than reviews, but they should be based on solid rationale.

vi) protocols as peer-reviewed procedures that provide step-by-step descriptions, outlined in sufficient detail, so that both experts and novices can apply them to their own research.

vii) letters to the editor and correspondence.

In order to facilitate this exchange of scientific information and exciting novel ideas, the journal has created five thematic sections, focusing on:

i) the role of adult stem cells in tissue regeneration;

ii) progress in research on induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells and mechanism governing embryogenesis and tissue development;

iii) the role of microenvironment and extracellular microvesicles in directing the fate of stem cells;

iv) mechanisms of stem cell trafficking, stem cell mobilization and homing with special emphasis on hematopoiesis;

v) the role of stem cells in aging processes and cancerogenesis.

《干細(xì)胞評論與報告》旨在涵蓋干細(xì)胞研究和再生醫(yī)學(xué)的當(dāng)代和新興領(lǐng)域。該期刊將考慮發(fā)表：

i) 征求或未經(jīng)請求的干細(xì)胞生物學(xué)專題評論，重點(diǎn)介紹、批評和綜合該領(lǐng)域的最新重要發(fā)現(xiàn)。

ii) 介紹原創(chuàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)工作的全文和簡短報告。

iii) 描述使用干細(xì)胞作為治療方法的臨床試驗(yàn)結(jié)果的轉(zhuǎn)化干細(xì)胞研究。

iv) 專注于干細(xì)胞疾病的論文。

v) 假設(shè)和評論文章作為基于觀點(diǎn)的文章，作者可以在其中提出新理論、對干細(xì)胞生物學(xué)有爭議領(lǐng)域的解釋或干細(xì)胞生物學(xué)問題或范式。這些文章包含的推測多于評論，但它們應(yīng)該基于堅實(shí)的理論基礎(chǔ)。

vi) 協(xié)議是同行評審的程序，提供分步描述，概述得足夠詳細(xì)，以便專家和新手都可以將其應(yīng)用于自己的研究。

vii) 致編輯的信和通信。

為了促進(jìn)科學(xué)信息和令人興奮的新想法的交流，該雜志創(chuàng)建了五個專題部分，重點(diǎn)關(guān)注：

i) 成體干細(xì)胞在組織再生中的作用；

ii) 誘導(dǎo)多能干細(xì)胞、胚胎干細(xì)胞和控制胚胎發(fā)生和組織發(fā)育的機(jī)制的研究進(jìn)展；

iii) 微環(huán)境和細(xì)胞外微泡在指導(dǎo)干細(xì)胞命運(yùn)中的作用；

iv) 干細(xì)胞運(yùn)輸、干細(xì)胞動員和歸巢的機(jī)制，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)造血；

v) 干細(xì)胞在衰老過程和癌變中的作用。

Stem Cell Reviews And Reports創(chuàng)刊于2005年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋CELL & TISSUE ENGINEERING - CELL BIOLOGY全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)4.5，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
