We are very pleased to share some exciting news!
From April 6th 2021, the journal Exploration of Targeted Anti-tumor Therapy (ETAT, https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/etat) is now officially indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
DOAJ is one of the world's largest open-access databases that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access and peer-reviewed journals, to increase their visibility, accessibility, and impact. All indexed data are free for anyone to access and download and our articles are indexed at: https://doaj.org/toc/2692-3114. Indexing by DOAJ means that the journal’s publishing and open access policies are internationally accepted and is a key advance in increasing the journal’s visibility and influence.
The Editorial Office gratefully acknowledges the Editors-in-Chief, board members, authors, and reviewers for their considerable support to the journal, and the readers for their attention.
About the journal

Since its inception, ETAT has developed 10 special issues covering diverse topics and receiving very strong submissions (https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/etat/Special_Issues). Among them, the special issues “Liquid Biopsy in Thoracic Cancer”, “Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC)”, “Targeting Transcription Factors for Cancer Therapy” and “Immunotherapy in Cancer Patients” have begun to publish articles and their progress is exceeding expectations. Articles in the PROTAC special issue in particular have received widespread attention and the issue of “COVID-19 and Cancer” has received great support for planned submissions.
The remaining special issue articles will be published throughout 2021 and we are now planning additional Special Issues based on other hot topics, such as:
Glioma; Artificial intelligence for precision oncology; Liquid biopsy for early cancer detection; Immunotherapy; EMT/metastasis; Drug targeting/biology of ubiquitin pathway in cancer; Exosomes; MYC function; Cancer metabolism-drug targeted; Drug repurposing for cancer; Microdevices/biosensors; Cancer/microbiome; RNA binding proteins; Organoids; Splicing, drug targeting; Cancer stem cells; Protein-protein interactions as drug targets; Advanced prostate cancer; NRF2 pathway in cancer, etc.
Launched in 2020, this fully Open Access cancer research journal continues to grow in scope and influence. To progress further, we need strong support from you and other out-standing researchers to submit their articles to ETAT. We always welcome:
1. High Quality papers that provide substantial and novel insights into cancer research (APC waived for all authors);
2. Applications from qualified scientists and clinicians to join the Editorial Board;
3. Special Issue Proposals focusing on any interesting topics of cancer research (honorarium offered).
