In 2009, the BioMedical & Life Sciences Division of the Special Libraries Association included Development in their list of top 100 journals in Biology and Medicine over the last 100 years.[3]

Brief history edit

Originally called Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology (ISSN 0022-0752) and established in 1953, the journal provided a periodical that would be primarily devoted to morphogenesis.[4][5]

In 1987, the journal was renamed Development. The journal's full archive from 1953 is available online. Development is now a hybrid journal and publishes 24 issues a year. Content over 6 months old is free to read.[6]

Scope and content edit

Development publishes original research articles and reports, techniques and resources, reviews, and primers across the spectrum of animal and plant developmental biology.[7][8]

Topics covered include:

The journal operates on a continuous publication model. The final version of record is released online as soon as it is ready.

Abstracting and indexing edit

Development is abstracted and/or indexed by:[6]

Development is a signatory of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).[6]

the Node edit

the Node is an online community that was launched by Development in 2010. It is a place for developmental biologists to share news and information about the field. Anyone in the community can create an account and contribute.[9]
