Peer review process

All manuscripts submitted to Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry undergo an initial editorial screening prior to peer review, followed by evaluation by international experts in the field. Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent experts. The peer review process is single-blinded as reviewers are anonymous to the authors. Reviewers are asked to respond in a timely manner. Editors and reviewers apply the highest scientific publishing standards.

The Editor-in-Chief and the publisher are responsible for ensuring high-quality peer review. All decisions are made after careful evaluation and are final.

Reviewers are encouraged to consider the journal’s ethical and editorial standards as outlined on our Ethics page.
