First five years of scientific publications in JCMR / The Editorial

Journal of Cell and Molecular Research (JCMR) was first published in 2008 as the first journal in the field of cell and molecular biology research in Iran. The need for the establishment of JCMR was felt as a platform for the young cell and molecular biology researchers under the supervision of respective experts. JCMR was established to focus on almost all fields of cell and molecular research and some categorical publications were planned as focusing areas of modern and innovative research done by the young researchers. Genetics, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Cell Biology and Molecular Biology were remained the focusing areas of publications in the first five years of JCMR. The editorial board has proposed new strategies to increase the impact of this journal including focused and high impact publications and to fasten the peer-review processing of journal. Its indexing in international indexing databases like Scopus etc. will encourage the authors and editors as a milestone in the boosting of scientific quality data production.
