Cell Reports Methods

Aims & Scope

Cell Reports Methods is an open access, multidisciplinary journal from Cell Press publishing significant methodological advances of broad interest.

The primary criterion for publication in Cell Reports Methods is a robust, reproducible method that will spur scientific progress.

We will also consider papers presenting a new tool or set of reagents that will be of significant utility and interest to the community.

Cell Reports Methods publishes shorter, single-point stories, called Reports, in addition to a longer Article format.

Areas of interest include innovations in sequencing and imaging technologies, genome editing, single-molecule approaches, computational methods, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.

We are committed to open science and scientific reproducibility.

To promote these goals, we offer the following to our authors, reviewers, and readers: • Opportunity to co-publish bench-top protocols through collaboration with STAR Protocols • Application of the STAR Methods structure to ensure transparency and reproducibility • Data and code required for reviewers at the time of submission • Mandatory deposition of raw data at resubmission
