Pathophysiology of Cell Injury Journal (PCIJ) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published biannually, dedicated to advancing knowledge on the fundamental and clinical aspects of cell injury, degeneration, and repair. The journal serves as a platform for understanding the molecular, biochemical, and morphological mechanisms underlying various disease processes, with emphasis on oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, necrosis, and cellular adaptation.
The journal encourages multidisciplinary research spanning molecular biology, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, oncology, and regenerative medicine — fostering translational insights that drive innovations in diagnosis and therapy. PCIJ strictly adheres to the principles and best practices outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
The journal fully supports Open Access publishing and the FAIR Data Principles — Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable — encouraging authors to share underlying data, code, supplementary materials whenever possible, and licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0)
Pathophysiology of Cell Injury Journal (PCIJ) published by BM-Publisher Ltd, is committed to maintaining editorial independence, research transparency, and global diversity among its editorial board members, authors, and peer reviewers.
