The Journal of Cancer Research (JCR) provides a streamlined online submission process to ensure that manuscripts are handled efficiently, fairly, and transparently. Authors are encouraged to carefully review the Instructions for Authors before submitting their work.
✳️ How to Submit:
✳️ Submission Steps:
- Prepare Your Manuscript
- Ensure your manuscript follows the journal’s formatting requirements.

- The editorial office screens the manuscript for completeness, relevance to the journal’s scope, formatting, and compliance with ethical standards.
- Submissions that do not meet these requirements may be returned to authors for revision before peer review.

- Revision (if required)
- Authors are expected to address reviewer comments point-by-point and resubmit the revised manuscript within the given deadline.
- Revised manuscripts may be re-evaluated by reviewers or the handling editor.
- Final Decision and Acceptance
- Once the manuscript meets scientific and editorial standards, it is formally accepted.
- Authors will receive an official acceptance letter from the editorial office.
- Production and Publication
- Accepted manuscripts undergo professional copyediting, typesetting, and proofing.
- Authors will review proofs before final publication.
