About the journal
The preservation of "biologics" (cells, tissues, organs and bioactive macromolecules) is a methodology critical to progress in the biomedical sciences and essential to ensuring cell quality and longevity. Today's preservation protocols typically provide utilitarian but sub-optimal outcomes that are often incompatible with the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.
This Journal is dedicated to the diverse spectrum of preservation technologies including cryopreservation, dry-state (anhydrobiosis), glassy-state and hypothermic maintenance. Accordingly, Cell Preservation Technology serves as the first journal to provide a unifying forum for researchers from academia, government and industry in which rapid, authoritative, peer-reviewed communication of recent advances is provided.
Cell Preservation Technology provides a platform supportive of biomedical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical interests utilizing bioprocessing, cell and molecular biology, cell and reproductive therapies, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and transplant medicine.

Instructions to Authors
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Cell Preservation Technology is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal. It includes papers on the diverse spectrum of preservation technologies including cryopreservation, dry-state (anhydrobiosis), glassy-state and hypothermic maintenance. The journal will emphasize the following topics: systems preservation, cellular and molecular mechanisms, preservation states, preservation engineering-bioprocessing, optimization protocols, natural systems models, and ethical/legal/regulatory considerations.
The journal will develop and encourage publication standards to foster effective and reliable data collection, analysis, interpretation, and communication. The Journal does not publish papers that have been submitted elsewhere.
Formats.Original research manuscripts should not exceed 3,000 words and must be presented in the standard format described below. Short reports and case studies should not exceed 1,000 words with no more than ten references and one table or figure. Editorials and commentaries may be on any issue relevant to the field, but must be brief and appropriately documented by data. Review papers, of up to 5,000 words in length, are summaries of developments in the field. All submissions will be subjected to peer-review.
Authorship. All authors, including the co-authors, should be responsible for a significant part of the manuscript. All authors and co-authors should have taken part in writing the manuscript, reviewing it, and revising its intellectual and technical content, and all must sign the cover letter accompanying the manuscript. Any author whose name appears on a paper assumes responsibility and accountability for the results.
Manuscript Submission and Copyright Agreement Form
The Copyright Agreement form (available from web site at http://www.liebertpub.com/media/content/transfer_of_copyright.pdf.) should be submitted once your paper has been accepted for publication. Manuscripts cannot be published without this form. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining signatures of coauthors. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form signed under the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright. Upon acceptance of your paper, please fax the Copyright Agreement form to 914-740-2108.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Prepare the entire manuscript in Microsoft Word. Include figure legends, double-spaced (6 mm minimum), with ample margins (minimum 1 in.) on all sides. Number pages consecutively.
Title page.The title page should include the authors' names and affiliations, a running title of about 45 characters (including spaces), and the full contact information for the corresponding author (i.e., mailing and/or street address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.)
Abstract. Provide a structured abstract of no more than 300 words.
Text.Organize the text as follows: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References. At the first usage of a term, spell out the term and give the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses. Thereafter, use the abbreviation/acronym alone. Use generic names for drugs where possible. If you wish to use a proprietary drug name, the first time it appears use the generic name followed by the proprietary name and manufacturer in parenthesis. If proprietary names must be used, include trademark information. Scientific names that have abbreviations must be spelled out on first occurrence with abbreviation in parenthesis and abbreviated thereafter.
Acknowledgments. The author should acknowledge only those people and institutions that have made significant contributions to the study. Details of sources of funding must be given and any potential conflicts of interest declared, e.g., financial, personal, political or academic.
References. The references should be cited in the text using the numerical order of citation method. The reference list at the end of the paper should be double-spaced and organized numerically by order of citation. List only the first three authors followed by "et al." For accepted papers not yet published, cite the journal and add "in press." If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, cite them parenthetically in the text, not in the references. Sources for personal communications must provide written approval at the time of submission. References should be presented in Vancouver style as shown below:
Journal example Ellis, P., Muller-Schweinitzer, E. Maintenance of functional activity of human pulmonary arteries after cryopreservation. Br. J. Pharmacol. 1991; 103: 1377-1380. Book example: Toner, M. Nucleation of ice crystals in biological cells. In: Steponkus, PL, ed. Advances in Low Temperature Biology. London. JAI Press; 1993 : 1-52. Reprint address. After the references, provide the name, address, and e-mail of the person to whom the reprint requests should be directed. Tables. Type each table, with its title, on a separate sheet of paper. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Details of experimental conditions should be included in the table footnotes. Table legends and footnotes should be double-spaced.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Please follow the guidelines below when preparing figure files:
?nbsp;Do not include any illustrations as part of your text file. ?nbsp;Do not prepare any figures in Word as they are not workable. ?nbsp;Line illustrations must be submitted at 600 DPI. ?nbsp;Halftones and color photos should be submitted at a minimum of 300 DPI. ?nbsp;Power Point files cannot be uploaded. ?nbsp;Save art as either TIFF or EPS files. Do NOT submit JPEG files. ?nbsp;Color art must be saved as CYMK not RGB.
IMPORTANT
Please do NOT upload a single PDF file containing all of the text, figure, and table files of your paper. Once all of your files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a PDF proof for you.
Prepare a separate list of figure legends, double-spaced, at the end of the manuscript. Magnifications should be included when appropriate.
In order to expedite your submission as quickly and efficiently as possible we ask that all artwork be checked using Digital Expert before submitting. This is a free tool that will ensure that you prepare and submit quality digital materials suitable for print. Go to http://dx.sheridan.com to check your image files.
You will be given directions on how to correct any files which do not pass.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ART FILES
Converting Word or Excel files: Perhaps the best and easiest way to convert Word or Excel files into a format which is suitable for print is to scan them using the below guidelines:
All files should be scanned at 100% size. 300 dpi Final color mode: cmyk save file as: .tif or .eps
If you need directions on how to convert a Power Point slide to acceptable format go to http://www.liebertpub.com/MEDIA/pdf/ppconvert.pdf
The journal will publish color photographs, but the author will be charged for the cost of color separations and printing at the rate of $275 per piece of color art plus $1,200 per page of color. The Publisher will provide the author with a more precise cost estimate when the figures are received. For further details, contact the Publisher.
Reproduction of color illustrations will be made at the expense of the author(s).
PERMISSIONS
Figures, tables, and text taken from other sources must be accompanied by a written statement from both author and publisher granting permission for reproduction. Include written permission from authors to cite unpublished data or papers still in press.
REPRINTS
Reprints may be ordered by using the reprint order form that accompanies page proofs. Reprints ordered after the issue is printed will be charged a substantially higher rate.
