Overview
JNCI Cancer Spectrum is published by Oxford University Press and is the sister journal to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute; its about page notes that it is not affiliated with the US National Cancer Institute despite the name. It describes itself as a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes new findings across the full range of clinical and translational cancer research, including prevention, screening and treatment, as well as clinically relevant epidemiological, public health and policy research. Article types include original research, confirmatory and negative findings, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, expert reviews and manuscripts on emerging hypotheses, published in six issues a year with an emphasis on rigorous but rapid review. The Directory of Open Access Journals lists it as open access from 2017 with anonymous peer review, an article processing charge, and CC BY, CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-ND licences.
