Stem Cell Reports
The ISSCR’s Open Access Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal
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.
“Since its inception in 2013, publications in Stem Cell Reports have reflected the growth and diversity of stem cell research and its application. In addition to serving the field by publishing high-quality scientific manuscripts, the journal also serves the community. As a society journal, a percentage of author publication charges go directly to the ISSCR and support various initiatives including international policy initiatives, educational efforts, career development programs, and public outreach.” —Martin Pera, Editor-in-Chief
