Editorial Policies
Comprehensive standards ensuring integrity, quality, and ethical excellence in stem cell research publication.
Commitment to Research Excellence
Evolving Stem Cell Research maintains rigorous editorial policies supporting high-quality peer review, research integrity, and ethical publishing practices for regenerative medicine research.
Our policies align with COPE, ICMJE, and ISSCR guidelines for responsible stem cell research.
All stem cell submissions undergo rigorous peer review by qualified specialists. Our review process ensures scientific validity, methodological rigor, and significance to regenerative medicine.
Expert Evaluation
Reviewers are selected for specific expertise matching manuscript topics in stem cell biology and cellular therapeutics.
Constructive Feedback
Reviews provide detailed, actionable feedback helping authors improve their regenerative medicine manuscripts.
Confidential Process
Manuscript content remains confidential throughout review, protecting unpublished stem cell discoveries.
Timely Decisions
Editorial decisions are communicated promptly, respecting author timelines and research urgency.
ESCR expects all published research to meet the highest standards of scientific integrity. Authors bear responsibility for validity and ethical conduct of stem cell studies.
- Data must be accurately reported without fabrication or falsification
- Plagiarism in any form is prohibited and detected through screening
- Duplicate submission to multiple journals simultaneously is not permitted
- Prior publication should be disclosed appropriately
Research involving human embryonic stem cells, iPSCs from human subjects, or clinical applications requires appropriate ethical approvals. Studies with embryonic materials should demonstrate compliance with ISSCR guidelines and jurisdictional requirements.
Conflict disclosure: All authors must disclose potential conflicts of interest. Financial relationships with biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies require declaration for stem cell publications.
ESCR maintains procedures for correcting published errors and retracting articles when significant problems are identified. These actions maintain the integrity of the published regenerative medicine literature.
