Stem Cell Reports is an open access forum communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies. Stem Cell Reports focuses on manuscripts that report original research with conceptual or practical advances that are of broad interest to stem cell biologists and clinicians. The “voice of the field,” the journal also publishes policy and ethics commentaries that drive conversations forward. Stem Cell Reports participates in Community Review, allowing authors to simultaneously submit their papers for consideration by multiple journals at once.
