Oncotarget

Oncotarget - High-Impact Journal

An exponential increase in scientific knowledge and in the complexity of the field calls for a High-Impact Journal focused on therapeutic strategies, oncogenes, oncoproteins, tumor suppressors, signal transduction pathways, translation from basic research to therapy and shared targets in atherosclerosis, cancer, benign tumors, neurodegeneration, infectious, metabolic and other diseases.

Oncotarget publishes papers of outstanding significance and exceptional novelty in all disciplines from basic research to clinical applications. In 2010, Oncotarget also publishes regular research articles

Authors are allowed and encouraged to submit their unformatted manuscripts to PubMed Central ( USA , Canada , UK ) immediately after publication. Authors may deposit MS via the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system or a similar manuscript processing system. This route is available only for manuscripts that are covered by the public access policies of certain approved funding agencies, e.g., the NIH, the Wellcome Trust and other members of the UKPMC Funders Group, or the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
