Signal Transduction Insights call for papers from Dr Edgar Grinstein

On behalf of the Editorial Board and publisher it is my pleasure to cordially invite you to contribute your work to Signal Transduction Insights, an open access, peer-reviewed online journal published by Libertas Academica. We invite contributions covering all aspects of signal transduction in cells, from molecular and intracellular to inter cellular levels. The journal integrates research from various areas of biology and its applications in health.

We welcome high-quality research in the area of normal and abnormal signal transduction. This includes, but is not limited to, signaling systems involved in cell communication, cell growth and cell cycle control, cell differentiation, cellular senescence, cell death as well as relevant mechanisms controlling gene expression. Included is also research on signaling events related to functions of stem cells, carcinogenesis and cancerous stem cells. Of significant interest is research aimed at further understanding disease-related aberrations in signaling pathways and the fast-growing area of signal transduction therapy.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, commentaries, letters to the Editor, methodology articles, hypotheses and short reports. All submissions to Signal Transduction Insights are subject to prompt, objective and fair peer review undertaken by at least two leading experts in the field.

Signal Transduction Insights publishes articles accessible to all Internet users throughout the world, without any access boundaries. The journal is of greatest possible benefit both to researchers working in major institutions and to those where institutional libraries are unable to afford subscription fees for a full range of journals. Therefore, articles published in Signal Transduction Insights are immediately available to the scientific and clinical communities without delay upon publication and enjoy high visibility.

We are confident that Signal Transduction Insights will attract manuscripts of the highest quality.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Signal Transduction Insights?

• Full open access: everyone can read your article and you retain copyright in it

• Publishing decision within 2 weeks of submission

• Your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space and will be published immediately on acceptance

• Prompt and fair peer review from two expert peer reviewers

• Frequent updates on your paper’s status

• Friendly responsive staff

What a previous author said:

"LA is different, and hopefully represents a kind of scientific publication machinery that removes the hurdles from free flow of scientific thought."

In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as Signal Transduction Insights are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Edgar Grinstein
