摘要
It has been 15 years since Cell Research was launched in 1990. At that time, Chinese scientists rarely published their work in non-Chinese journals, and China did not have a major English journal of its own in life sciences. In a way, Cell Research was born at the right time, in the right place, and with the right kind of people guiding its development. The rise of Cell Research as China＇s leading journal publishing peer-reviewed articles in basic life sciences has paralleled the rapid development of the Chinese economy in general and the science and technology sector in particular over the same period. The current economic trend should allow even more rapid advances in the life sciences which will ensure a healthy growth of Cell Research in years to come. Thus, we are confident that Cell Research has a brighter future.
