A Journal for Cancer Genomics

Peer-reviewed, open access, and free to read and to publish in — a demonstration journal built on JournalManager.

Who We Are

We publish original research on the genomic and epigenomic basis of cancer, alongside the computational methods that make that research possible. The journal is edited by working researchers, reviewed by working researchers, and read by them; every editorial decision is made by someone who could have written the paper themselves.

Founded as a quarterly, we publish four issues a year plus occasional special issues on a single theme. Accepted articles appear online as soon as they are ready rather than waiting for an issue to close, so a finished paper is never held back by a publication schedule.

What We Stand For

What You Will Find Here

• Research articles on tumour evolution, epigenetic regulation and structural variation
• Single-cell, spatial and long-read studies of tumour heterogeneity
• Biomarker and liquid-biopsy work aimed at earlier detection
• Functional genomics, including CRISPR screens and synthetic-lethal interactions
• Computational methods published with documented, runnable code
• Registered Reports, reviewed before the results exist
• Confirmatory and well-powered negative results
• Benchmarking studies of methods already in wide use

How We Work

Submissions are screened within five working days and, if they go out, reviewed by at least two independent experts. Reviewers do not see who wrote the manuscript and authors do not see who reviewed it. The handling editor weighs the reports and decides; where reviewers split, a third is invited rather than the editor breaking the tie alone.

Editorial decisions rest with the editors. Neither the publisher, the owning institution nor any funder has a say in whether a manuscript is accepted, and no editor decides on a submission from their own institution or a recent collaborator.

Access, Licensing and Preservation

Articles are published under a Creative Commons licence, so anyone may read, redistribute and build on them with attribution. Authors retain copyright. Content is deposited with a persistent identifier and archived so that it remains available if the journal itself ever stops publishing.
