Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication is the only journal dedicated to membrane contact site research, which has taken center stage in cell biology. Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication is an open access, peer reviewed international journal that acts as a focal point for all research into intracellular contacts, their lipidology, ion signaling and membrane traffic. The journal not only addresses fundamental scientific discovery, but also its applications, from human diseases such as dementia and cancer to managing economically and societally important species such as plants and microbes. Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication seeks to connect researchers across disciplines and specialties. Please see the Aims and Scope tab for further information on article types and areas of particular interest to the journal.
Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication will publish high quality articles that relate to any aspect of interactions between different cellular compartments. To date this subject area has been dominated by defining if such interactions/contacts exist, together with descriptions of molecular and ion traffic that contacts may facilitate. And yet the subject is broader than this: some contacting organelles have no membrane, other contacts have quite unexpected functions, for example allowing an enzyme in one compartment to access a substrate in another. By concentrating on this one topic, the journal will create a space for new ideas to cross between researchers working on seemingly different topics that share the common substrate: intracellular contacts.
Primary research papers do not necessarily have to present complete stories, nor is there a requirement for mechanistic insight. Instead, descriptive accounts, of any length, that raise new questions will be viewed positively for their role in provoking debate. In addition, the journal welcomes research that questions paradigms that arise about contacts, including negative results.
