Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Developmental Biology (ISSN: 0214- 6282) is an independent, not for profit scholarly journal, published by scientists, for scientists. The journal publishes papers which throw light on our understanding of animal and plant developmental mechanisms in health and disease and, in particular, research which elucidates the developmental principles underlying stem cell properties and cancer. Technical, historical or theoretical approaches also fall within the scope of the journal. Criteria for acceptance include scientific excellence, novelty and quality of presentation of data and illustrations. Advantages of publishing in the journal include: rapid publication; free unlimited color reproduction; no page charges; free publication of online supplementary material; free publication of audio files (MP3 type); one-to-one personalized attention at all stages during the editorial process.
