**Cell Press** is an all-science publisher of over 50 [scientific journals](/source/Scientific_journal) across the life, physical, earth, and health sciences, both independently and in partnership with scientific societies. Cell Press was founded and is currently based in [Cambridge](/source/Cambridge%2C_Massachusetts), [MA](/source/Massachusetts), and has offices across the [United States](/source/United_States), [Europe](/source/Europe), and [Asia](/source/Asia) under its parent company [Elsevier](/source/Elsevier).

## History

[Benjamin Lewin](/source/Benjamin_Lewin) founded *[Cell](/source/Cell_(journal))*. He then bought the title and established an independent Cell Press in 1986. The company spun off new journals as follows: *[Neuron](/source/Neuron_(journal))* in March 1988; *[Immunity](/source/Immunity_(journal))* in April 1994; and *[Molecular Cell](/source/Molecular_Cell)* in December 1997. Benjamin Lewin left in October 1999, after having sold Cell Press to [Elsevier](/source/Elsevier) the previous April.

Since that time, Cell Press has launched a number of new titles: *[Developmental Cell](/source/Developmental_Cell)* in July 2001; *[Cancer Cell](/source/Cancer_Cell_(journal))* in February 2002; *[Cell Metabolism](/source/Cell_Metabolism)* in January 2005; *[Cell Host & Microbe](/source/Cell_Host_%26_Microbe)* in March 2007; *[Cell Stem Cell](/source/Cell_Stem_Cell)* in July 2007; *[Cell Systems](/source/Cell_Systems)* in July 2015; *[Heliyon](/source/Heliyon)* 2015; *[Chem](/source/Chem_(journal))* in July 2016; *[Joule](/source/Joule_(journal))* in September 2017; *iScience* in March 2018; and *One Earth* in September 2019. *Cell Genomics* was added in 2021.[1]

Meanwhile, three additional Elsevier journals have joined the Cell Press group: *[Current Biology](/source/Current_Biology)* launched in January 1996, which became part of Cell Press in early 2001; *[Structure](/source/Structure_(journal))* launched in 1993, which merged with the journal *Folding & Design* in early 1999. At that point, the name changed to *Structure with Folding & Design* but reverted to *Structure* at the beginning of 2001, when the journal joined Cell Press. *[Cell Chemical Biology](/source/Cell_Chemical_Biology)* (formerly titled *[Chemistry & Biology](/source/Chemistry_%26_Biology))* launched on April 15, 1994, and joined Cell Press in January 2002. In 2007, Cell Press acquired the [Trends](/source/Trends_(journals)) family of journals,[2] 16 review journals covering the life, physical, and medical sciences.

In October 1995, [Cell.com](/source/Cell.com) was launched and full-text online versions were launched in July 1997.

## Open access

Cell Press published its first open access journal, *[Cell Reports](/source/Cell_Reports)*, in 2012.[3] In January 2021, all Cell Press journals began offering open access publishing options.[4] As of May 2022, Cell Press publishes 17 open access journals and 40 hybrid journals. In 2021, 50% of all articles published in Cell Press were open access.[5]

## Other initiatives

In 2016 Cell Press launched *STAR Methods*. *STAR* (Structured Transparent Accessible Reporting) *Methods* is focused on making replicable research methods available.[6]

In 2020, Cell Press launched the Rising Black Scientist Awards. Winning essays are published in *Cell*, and winners receive a $10,000 award.[7] The 2021 winners were Charleese Williams and Elle Lett. The 2020 winners were Olufolakemi Olusanya and Chrystal Starbird.[8]
