The AACR publishes ten journals that cover the full spectrum of cancer research. The AACR’s journals cover cancer science and medicine from prevention to diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship and receive consistently high rankings in Clarivate’s Journal Citation Report® (with half of AACR journals ranking in the top 10% in Impact Factor in the Oncology category in the most recent report). These publications are critical resources for researchers and physician scientists, and now offer a seamless, modern user experience through the Silverchair Platform.
The launch also includes Cancer Discovery News, which publishes hundreds of timely and highly relevant news items each year and which will now be published via Silverchair Composer. This content can be authored, edited, and published via Composer and will receive the same robust search, browse, and display treatment as highly structured journal content.
“We are thrilled to count the AACR among the many innovative Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) publishers that are part of the Silverchair community,” said Thane Kerner, Silverchair CEO. “Our teams have enjoyed collaborating with AACR to make sure that the critical research they publish is as discoverable as possible, supporting the AACR as they fulfill their important mission.”
“The AACR is excited to work with Silverchair to disseminate this critical research to the cancer research community and beyond,” said Christine Battle, Publisher and Vice President, Scientific Publications. “This new association will facilitate the continued enhancement of our journal websites and will provide the best possible online content experience for our members, authors, and readers.”

About the American Association for Cancer Research
Founded in 1907, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is the world’s first and largest professional organization dedicated to advancing cancer research and its mission to prevent and cure cancer. AACR membership includes more than 50,000 laboratory, translational, and clinical researchers; population scientists; other health care professionals; and patient advocates residing in 129 countries. The AACR marshals the full spectrum of expertise of the cancer community to accelerate progress in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer by annually convening more than 30 conferences and educational workshops—the largest of which is the AACR Annual Meeting, with more than 74,000 attendees for the 2020 virtual meetings and more than 22,500 attendees for past in-person meetings. In addition, the AACR publishes 10 prestigious, peer-reviewed scientific journals and a magazine for cancer survivors, patients, and their caregivers. The AACR funds meritorious research directly as well as in cooperation with numerous cancer organizations. As the Scientific Partner of Stand Up To Cancer, the AACR provides expert peer review, grants administration, and scientific oversight of team science and individual investigator grants in cancer research that have the potential for near-term patient benefit. The AACR actively communicates with legislators and other policymakers about the value of cancer research and related biomedical science in saving lives from cancer.
