It is with great pleasure and pride that we can announce the acceptance of Cell Stress to be included in Scopus, Elsevier’s abstract and citation database. Cell Stress has passed the rigorous evaluation process and will officially be listed in a couple of months. Thus, our journal will soon be subject to an official scientific ranking and citation analysis as well as an independent quantitative quality measure. This achievement would not have been possible without your high quality submissions as well as the support of our Editorial Board.
