What is Cell Press Sneak Peek? Sneak Peek is a public Mendeley user group that presents a preview of primary research papers sent out for peer review at Cell Press journals. Recognizing that there can be weeks/months between submission and final publication, Cell Press now offers authors, whose papers are selected by the editors to be sent out for peer review, the opportunity to share their initial submitted manuscript in this group. Authors can make their work visible quickly and share the good news that their paper is out for review. How can I access Sneak Peek? You can access Sneak Peek online here.
