Development

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.

发展的范围涵盖植物和动物发育的所有方面，包括干细胞生物学和再生。发展中最重要的接受标准是科学卓越性。因此，研究论文（文章和报告）应提出并测试一个重要的假设或解决一个重要的问题，并应提供促进我们对发展的理解的新观点。我们还鼓励提交使用计算方法或数学模型来获得对发育生物学主题的重要新见解的论文。只有当描述性手稿为某个领域奠定重要基础和/或为理解社区广泛感兴趣的发育过程提供新资源时，才会考虑这些手稿。

发展包括一个技术和资源部分，用于发布新方法、数据集和其他类型的资源。描述新技术的论文应包括原理证明，证明该技术对发育生物学界有价值；它们不需要包括深入的后续分析。必须对该技术进行足够详细的描述，以便其他研究人员轻松复制。 Development 还将考虑社区特别感兴趣的协议类型论文。我们欢迎提交资源论文，例如报告新数据库、系统级数据集或对发育生物学社区具有重大价值的遗传资源的论文。对于所有论文，所描述的数据或资源必须在出版时以最少的限制向社区提供。

为了提高可导航性，Development 在期刊中专门设立了干细胞与再生和人类发育部分。这些部分的接受标准与上述标准相同。鼓励作者和编辑提名合适的稿件纳入其中一个部分。
