History

edit

Benjamin Lewin founded Cell. He then bought the title and established an independent Cell Press in 1986. The company spun off new journals as follows: Neuron in March 1988; Immunity in April 1994; and Molecular Cell in December 1997. Benjamin Lewin left in October 1999, after having sold Cell Press to Elsevier the previous April.

Since that time, Cell Press has launched a number of new titles: Developmental Cell in July 2001; Cancer Cell in February 2002; Cell Metabolism in January 2005; Cell Host & Microbe in March 2007; Cell Stem Cell in July 2007; Cell Systems in July 2015; Heliyon 2015; Chem in July 2016; Joule in September 2017; iScience in March 2018; and One Earth in September 2019. Cell Genomics was added in 2021.[1]

Meanwhile, three additional Elsevier journals have joined the Cell Press group: Current Biology launched in January 1996, which became part of Cell Press in early 2001; Structure launched in 1993, which merged with the journal Folding & Design in early 1999. At that point, the name changed to Structure with Folding & Design but reverted to Structure at the beginning of 2001, when the journal joined Cell Press. Cell Chemical Biology (formerly titled Chemistry & Biology) launched on April 15, 1994, and joined Cell Press in January 2002. In 2007, Cell Press acquired the Trends family of journals,[2] 16 review journals covering the life, physical, and medical sciences.

In October 1995, Cell.com was launched and full-text online versions were launched in July 1997.

Open access

edit

Cell Press published its first open access journal, Cell Reports, in 2012.[3] In January 2021, all Cell Press journals began offering open access publishing options.[4] As of May 2022, Cell Press publishes 17 open access journals and 40 hybrid journals. In 2021, 50% of all articles published in Cell Press were open access.[5]

Other initiatives

In 2016 Cell Press launched STAR Methods. STAR (Structured Transparent Accessible Reporting) Methods is focused on making replicable research methods available.[6]

In 2020, Cell Press launched the Rising Black Scientist Awards. Winning essays are published in Cell, and winners receive a $10,000 award.[7] The 2021 winners were Charleese Williams and Elle Lett. The 2020 winners were Olufolakemi Olusanya and Chrystal Starbird.[8]
