Aims & Scope

Histochemistry and Cell Biology is a dedicated resource for Original Research and Reviews in molecular histology and cell biology. Covers the localization, identification and quantification of structural components of normal and diseased cells and tissues and the extracellular matrix. Includes development, application and evaluation of methods useful across the entire field of histochemistry, cell biology and diagnostic medical research. Encloses experimental approaches to characterize dynamic and functional aspects of molecular constituents of organelles, cells, tissues, organisms and extracellular structures. Studies aimed at understanding cell biological processes in both healthy and diseased tissues are encouraged. Adheres to the highest standards of scientific and imaging rigor and reproducibility. Monthly Editorials highlighting selected publications.

Frequently asked questions about Histochemistry and Cell Biology

Is Histochemistry and Cell Biology a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Histochemistry and Cell Biology: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Histochemistry and Cell Biology?

Histochemistry and Cell Biology is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal — including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles — receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 2.42.
