![]() To help enforce this policy, Cell Press journals screen new submissions against a cross-journal database. It is our policy that a manuscript must not be submitted to more than one journal at the same time, or in any case when the paper is under active consideration at a journal, that is, before a final decision to publish or decline the manuscript is made. In accordance with guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics, duplicate submissions, defined as active consideration of a manuscript by multiple journals, are a considered a serious ethical issue because they can lead to duplicate publications. They will evaluate the manuscript as a new submission against their own editorial criteria and may utilize any available information to speed up the editorial assessment. If you resubmit your manuscript to another Cell Press journal without using the transfer link or mentioning the previous submission, the editors of the new journal might still be aware of the previous submission(s). Occasionally, the editors may seek comments from additional reviewers. ![]() If reviewer reports are available, they will be used by the editors of the new journal to speed up their decision making. You can also read our FAQs on article transfers for general information on the transfer process. Our editors will provide guidance wherever possible on the best course of action and, if you have questions about your specific transfer options, you can email our dedicated Cell Press team at. You will have a chance to edit your files before they are sent to the new journal. In case of a negative outcome at our journal, we may give you the opportunity to transfer it, along with any reviewers' reports and identities, to another journal published by Cell Press or Elsevier using the link in the decision letter. We appreciate that serially submitting your manuscript to multiple journals can be time consuming and frustrating. ![]() ![]() ![]() Transfer of papers between Cell Press journals ![]()
