Announcement: Development Genes and Evolution is joining the Discover series! We are pleased to announce that Development Genes and Evolution will become fully open access (OA) on 1 January 2025 and move into our Discover series as Discover Developmental Biology. Founded in 1894, the journal has evolved through several editions and title changes to keep pace with changing perspectives on developmental biology research. As a result of this change, all submissions received from 1 September 2024 are subject to an article publication charge (APC) if accepted (unless a waiver is applied) and will be published in Discover Developmental Biology. The 2025 APCs for Discover Developmental Biology will be EUR 1990.00/ USD 2390.00/ GBP 1690.00. Please see our FAQs journal update for more information on APCs, funding options, waivers and the journal's transition to fully open access. From January 2025, Discover Developmental Biology will be a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports multidisciplinary research across all fields of biological development relevant to animals, plants and microorganisms. The journal aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in developmental biology and its uses in research development and society. As a fully open access journal, we ensure that our research is highly discoverable and instantly available globally to everyone. The journal particularly welcomes work that aims to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially Good Health and Well-being, Life Below Water, and Life on Land. Topics Topics welcomed at Discover Developmental Biology include but are not limited to the following: Embryogenesis Germ Cell Development Morphogenesis Cell Fate Determination Organogenesis Stem Cell Biology Developmental Genetics Epigenetics and Development Developmental Physiology Developmental Disorders Evolutionary Developmental Biology Plant Development Genetics Plant Growth and Differentiation Neurodevelopment Metamorphosis Microbial Development.
