Cell paper formatting

Cell manuscripts pair a concise Summary with a visual Results narrative, plus Highlights or a Graphical Abstract when the article type requires them, followed by supplied STAR Methods and a Key Resources Table. We format that sequence without writing scientific content or pixel-matching the published issue.

Layout & page

Title and author block · Summary and Highlights · clearly staged Results · STAR Methods and resource table.

References & citation

Cell Press author–year citations; APA is the closest order-form option, then we align details to the journal guide.

Order hint: APA

We approximate the author guide — we are not the journal's final production desk. Content stays yours.
