Publishing with Cell Press: turning exciting research into high-impact publications

Speaker: Ulrich Schridde

Venue: Conference Hall, East 6F, Liangzhu Laboratory

Abstract: Dr. Ulrich Schridde is currently a Senior Editor for the Cell Press journal Neuron and lives and works in Boston, MA, USA. At Neuron, Ulli is part of the editorial team and handles/oversees the review and publication of manuscripts across all areas of neuroscience. Ulli also acts as a neuroscience advisor to other journals in the CP portfolio. From 2004 to 2007 he was a postdoc in the lab of Dr. Hal Blumenfeld at the Dept. of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine, USA. He did a 2nd postdoc with Dr. Nikos Logothetis at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics before joining Cell Press in 2012.

In this presentation, Dr. Ulrich Schridde offers researchers a behind-the-scenes guide to publishing in one of neuroscience's leading journals. It covers Neuron's scope and editorial standards, submission strategies, and the full editorial process — from initial consideration and peer review to revision, decision, and acceptance. Practical advice on writing papers, crafting cover letters, selecting reviewers, and navigating appeals is complemented by an overview of Cell Press transfer options and the new multi-journal submission model.
