Status page for the Journal of Cell Biology. We track site availability, article access, and submission tools so you can see problems at a glance. If a paper will not load or a manuscript page stalls, check here first. This page updates automatically as checks run.
JCB is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering cell biology, published since 1955 and known earlier as The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology. Readers use jcb.org to browse issues, read articles, and reach archived content. Authors and reviewers also rely on the site for manuscript submission and peer-review steps. Most reported issues fall into a few groups: slow or failed page loads, trouble downloading PDFs, and hiccups in the submission or review portal. Archived content on partner platforms can behave differently from the main site. Outages on the journal site itself are separate from problems at third-party archives or library proxies. Before reporting a problem, try a hard refresh and confirm your network allows access to jcb.org. If you reach the journal through an institutional proxy or VPN, test a direct connection too. Clear cache on repeated PDF failures, and note whether the issue affects one article or the whole site. That detail helps our team respond faster.

Questions

Is JCB down right now?

According to reports on this page, JCB looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for JCB yet.

Why can I read article abstracts but not download the full PDF?

This usually points to an access or entitlement issue rather than a site outage. Check whether your institution's subscription covers the issue you need, and try downloading over a direct connection instead of a proxy. If PDFs fail across the whole site, check this status page for an open incident.

My manuscript submission session keeps timing out. Is this a known problem?

Submission portal slowdowns do happen and are listed here when confirmed. Keep your manuscript files saved locally, wait a few minutes, and try again with a single browser window. If the portal stays unreachable while this page shows all systems operational, contact the editorial office with the time and error message you saw.
