With pleasure, we are here to announce that Translational Cancer Research (TCR) has been accepted for inclusion in Scopus. Within months, article titles, abstracts, and references of TCR articles will be searchable in Scopus. It is hopefully that more researchers and clinicians would access TCR articles via the Scopus database with the inclusion.
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, featuring smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research . It is appreciated that the Scopus evaluation team comment on the journal as “a well presented journal with high quality content”.
Translational Cancer Research (Transl Cancer Res; Print ISSN: 2218-676X; Online ISSN 2219-6803; www.thetcr.org), is an open access, peer-reviewed journal launched in June 2012. It publishes the results of novel research investigations which bridge the laboratory and clinical settings including risk assessment, cellular and molecular characterization, prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of human cancers with the overall goal of improving the clinical care of oncology patients, aiming to promote a rapid exchange of scientific information between clinicians and scientists worldwide.The operation of TCR is driven by the leadership and passion of Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Eric Chuang; co-Editor-in- Chief, Dr. Huan Giap; and Associate Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Binghe Xu.
