The AACR journals’ Author Services Center provides valuable tools and information to assist authors with all aspects of publishing in AACR journals — from selecting the appropriate journal for your manuscript, to formatting the manuscript for submission, to reviewing and returning proofs for accepted articles. A comprehensive list of frequently asked questions is also provided for your convenience.
The six AACR journals vary in scope. If you are unsure which of the journals would be most appropriate for your area of research, please review the journal descriptions provided in this link.
Please click this link to view the AACR journals’ editorial policies, practices, and guidelines. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that manuscript submissions adhere to these policies.
Please click this link to access each journal’s copyright transfer form and to review the policies on copyright and requests to reproduce information previously published in an AACR journal.
For the convenience of our authors, we have provided a list of editing and proofreading services for scientific manuscripts. Authors should be advised that use of one of these services does not guarantee manuscript acceptance. Furthermore, the AACR does not endorse or take responsibility for any of these services.
