I guess my short communication paper would be classified as a "Short
Paper"

Short Papers
Short Papers should include an abstract accompanied by text that contains
the introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion in one
continuous section (materials and methods may be part of the text, figure
legend or table footnotes). Four total Figures and Tables are allowed.
The length of the paper should not exceed 15 double-spaced, printed
manuscript pages of text, inclusive of references and exclusive of
Figures and Tables.


organization for the manuscript
Organization
All manuscripts should be in English. Please ensure that manuscripts are
clear, concise and grammatically correct.

Text should be prepared in MS Word, double-spaced, with page numbers
throughout.
Organize manuscripts in the following manner:

• Title page, including titles, author's names (first, MI, last) and
affiliations
• 5-10 key words (for indexing purposes)
• A list of abbreviations and acronyms used throughout the text
• An abstract (please see Type of Paper for word limit), the primary
goal of which is to make the general significance and conceptual advance
of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. (References should
not be cited in the abstract.)
• Text (length and organization depends upon type of paper)
• Acknowledgments
• References
• Figure legends
• Tables (with descriptive titles and legends)


they want figures to be in tiff, photoshop, eps or high resolution pdf
files

color figures should be in CMYK mode at 8 bits/channel

they want a sans serif font such as Helvetica (Arial is a sans-serif
typeface so I think I will use that)
sans-serif means sans "without" the "serifs" which are the projecting
features at the end of strokes


they want thousands to be separated by commas like "1,000"


they want the references in the same format as the references in the
"Cell Cycle" journal

the format they would like is like this
Author's last name] Author's initials, First six author's last names
followed by their initials. Title of article with only the first word
capitalized. Journal's standard abbreviated name Year;
Volume:Inclusive pages.
