期刊簡介預計審稿時間： 約3.0個月

Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community.

Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication.

To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.

發展的范圍涵蓋植物和動物發育的所有方面，包括干細胞生物學和再生。發展中最重要的接受標準是科學卓越性。因此，研究論文（文章和報告）應提出并測試一個重要的假設或解決一個重要的問題，并應提供促進我們對發展的理解的新觀點。我們還鼓勵提交使用計算方法或數學模型來獲得對發育生物學主題的重要新見解的論文。只有當描述性手稿為某個領域奠定重要基礎和/或為理解社區廣泛感興趣的發育過程提供新資源時，才會考慮這些手稿。

發展包括一個技術和資源部分，用于發布新方法、數據集和其他類型的資源。描述新技術的論文應包括原理證明，證明該技術對發育生物學界有價值；它們不需要包括深入的后續分析。必須對該技術進行足夠詳細的描述，以便其他研究人員輕松復制。 Development 還將考慮社區特別感興趣的協議類型論文。我們歡迎提交資源論文，例如報告新數據庫、系統級數據集或對發育生物學社區具有重大價值的遺傳資源的論文。對于所有論文，所描述的數據或資源必須在出版時以最少的限制向社區提供。

為了提高可導航性，Development 在期刊中專門設立了干細胞與再生和人類發育部分。這些部分的接受標準與上述標準相同。鼓勵作者和編輯提名合適的稿件納入其中一個部分。
