A journal the Centre runs itself, reviewed blind.
CISBM publishes original work in immunology, genetics and systems biology. Review is double-blind: a reviewer is never shown who wrote the paper, and an author is never shown who reviewed it. Reading is free, and so is submitting.
How a paper is handled
One
Submission
A member submits from the desk, attaching the paper and a copy with the authors removed. The manuscript is given a reference in the Centre's own series.
Two
Editor
An editor takes it on and invites reviewers. An author is never invited to review their own work, and an editor never decides a paper they submitted.
Three
Blind review
A reviewer reads the blinded copy and writes twice: comments the author will read, and comments for the editor alone. Identity is withheld by the database, not by the screen.
Four
Decision
The editor decides with a letter to the author. An accepted paper is published here in full. A DOI is recorded if one has been registered; the journal registers none itself.
