Molecular & Cellular Proteomics

Molecular & Cellular Proteomics (MCP) publishes papers based on original research that are judged, after editorial review, to make a substantial contribution to the understanding of any area of proteomics. MCP also publishes short reviews and perspective articles by invitation from the Editors. These differ primarily in that the former must be a balanced presentation of the topic while the latter may reflect 'a point of view.' On occasion, at the discretion of the Editors, articles that describe activities or issues that impact proteomic research may be acceptable as Reports. MCP will accept letters to the Editor, which must address material that has appeared in the journal. In keeping with the rapid development of the field and the concerns of the Editors and Associate Editors about the growing amount of protein misidentifications being reported, MCP has, after a fairly lengthy process involving considerable input from the proteomics community at large, created a set of guidelines for manuscripts containing data of this type.
