The Journal of Stem Cell Therapy and Transplantation (JSTT) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles that advance the understanding and application of stem cell research, therapy, and transplantation. This journal invites original research, reviews, case studies, and clinical reports related to the diverse fields of stem cell therapy and its clinical applications. Below are the guidelines for submitting manuscripts to JSTT.

Types of Articles

The journal welcomes the submission of the following types of manuscripts:

• Original Research Articles: Research articles that present novel findings related to stem cell biology, therapy, and transplantation techniques.
• Review Articles: Critical and comprehensive reviews of recent advances in stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and transplantation science.
• Short Communications: Brief reports that present significant findings, novel techniques, or preliminary results in stem cell research.
• Case Reports: Case studies describing clinical applications of stem cell therapies, challenges, outcomes, and therapeutic insights.

Submission Process

To submit a manuscript to JSTT, authors should follow the process outlined below:

• Manuscript Format: Submissions should be made in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. PDF files will not be accepted.
• Page Layout: Manuscripts should be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides.
• Title Page: The title page should include the manuscript title, full names and affiliations of all authors, and the corresponding author’s contact details.
• Abstract: Provide a structured abstract (250 words maximum) summarizing the study’s purpose, methods, results, and conclusions.
• Keywords: Include 3-5 relevant keywords to improve the discoverability of the article.
• Figures and Tables: Figures should be high-resolution (300 DPI), clearly labeled, and numbered. Tables must be cited in the text and numbered sequentially.

Ethical Considerations

Research involving human participants or animals must comply with ethical standards and have received approval from an appropriate institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript regarding the ethical approval for research involving humans or animals.

All submitted manuscripts must be original works. The journal uses plagiarism detection tools to ensure academic integrity and avoid unethical practices.

References (NLM Style)

The Journal of Stem Cell Therapy and Transplantation follows the National Library of Medicine (NLM) citation style for references. Authors should format their references according to the following guidelines:

• Journal Article: Author(s). Title of article. Journal Name. Year; Volume(Issue): Page range. DOI if available.
• Book: Author(s). Title of Book. Edition. Place of publication: Publisher; Year.
• Online Sources: Author(s). Title of webpage/document. Available from: URL. Accessed on: Date.

Peer Review Process

JSTT follows a double-blind peer review process. Authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review. Every manuscript will undergo evaluation by at least two experts in stem cell therapy or transplantation.

Authors will be provided with feedback and recommendations. Based on the reviewers' comments, authors may be asked to revise their manuscript or address any concerns before final acceptance.

Manuscript Withdrawal

Manuscripts may be withdrawn by the authors at any stage before acceptance. However, once the peer review process is complete and the article is accepted, withdrawal is not typically permitted unless under extraordinary circumstances.
