Journal Title：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.

Development 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。接受发展的一个最重要的标准是科学卓越。因此，研究论文（文章和报告）应该提出和检验一个重要的假设或解决一个重要的问题，并且应该提供新的视角来促进我们对发展的理解。我们还鼓励提交使用计算方法或数学模型的论文，以获得对发育生物学主题的重要新见解。只有在为某个领域奠定重要基础和/或为理解社区广泛关注的发展过程提供新资源时，才会考虑具有描述性的手稿。

开发包括技术和资源部分，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。该技术必须足够详细地描述，以便其他调查人员可以轻松复制。开发还将考虑社区特别感兴趣的协议类型的论文。我们欢迎提交资源论文，例如那些报告新数据库、系统级数据集或对发育生物学界具有重要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提供给社区，并且在发表时受到最小限制。

为了便于导航，Development 在期刊中专门设置了干细胞与再生和人类发展部分。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手稿，以纳入这些部分之一。
