Proposed changes
 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Could we make the following changes to the sections below?
Introductory paragraph
1. Please update the first sentence of the introductory paragraph to from “focused on cell signaling and regulation” to “focused on mechanisms of signal transduction.”
2. Add “online” to the second sentence of the introductory paragraph, so the sentence reads “It is published online weekly…”
3. Update the third sentence of the introductory paragraph to read “The Editor is John F. Foley, the Chief Scientific Advisor is Michael B. Yaffe…”
4. Remove the “e” from Holden Thorp’s last name as displayed at the end of the introductory paragraph.
Scope
5. Update the last sentence of the Scope section to read “Besides full-length articles, the journal also publishes reviews, focus articles, and editor-written highlights of select research papers."
Abstracting and indexing
6. Update the impact factor information underneath the list of indexers to read: “…the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 9.517.”
a. Update the corresponding reference to the 2021 Journal Citation report: (https://jcr.clarivate.com/jcr-jp/journal-profile?journal=SCI%20SIGNAL&year=2021&fromPage=%2Fjcr%2Fhome)
References
7. Reference 3 has an outdated link, and should be replaced with https://mjl.clarivate.com/home , as Clarivate acquired TR’s intellectual property division a few years ago.
Sidebar
8. Please update “Edited by” in the right hand sidebar to read “John F. Foley” instead of Michael B. Yaffe.

- All look good, except the first one. A general audience reader might not know what "signal transduction" means; I had to Google it too :) The lead sentence should not oversimplify the subject matter, but it should be accessible for most readers (see WP:JARGON). You can go ahead and implement the other suggestions, exactly as they are written here. Actualcpscm (talk) 14:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent, thank you.
- With regard to that first edit, would the following be more appropriate?
- “Science Signaling is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is focused on understanding how cells communicate with each other and their environment.”
- If so, I will make all of the edits at once. Mphelan123 (talk) 17:45, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- I would suggest"...journal focused on cell communication" or perhaps "...journal focused on mechanisms of cell communication". Feel free to implement either option together with your other suggestions. I recommend that you mention your COI in the edit summary, together with the revision ID of this approval.

- Excellent, thank you - the latter option is perfect. I will make the changes as discussed above, and mention my COI/revision ID in the edit summary. Mphelan123 (talk) 14:13, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
