About the journal
|
DEVELOPMENTAL DYNAMICS publishes cutting-edge research in the field of developmental biology, focusing on morphogenesis—the study of the emergence of form during animal development. The journal includes articles ranging from the theoretical to the analytical, covering all levels of biological organization.
Developmental Dynamics, an official publication of the American Association of Anatomists, provides a focus for communication among developmental biologists who study the emergence of form during animal development. The journal is an international forum for the exchange of novel and significant information gained from analytical and theoretical investigations on the mechanisms that control morphogenesis. Developmental Dynamics seeks manuscripts on work done at all levels of biological organization, ranging from the molecular to the organismal.
Representative topics of Interest Include:
Mechanisms underlying morphogenesis Pattern formation
Tissue organization and repair
Transcriptional and post-transcriptional controls governing the emergence of diverse biologic form
Analytical methods for the visualization of molecular, cytologic, and ultrastructural aspects of dynamic developmental processes
Cell-cell signalling and cell-matrix interactions
Genetic and molecular probes for the study of cell lineages and developmental pathways
Transgenic approaches for studying the control of tissue- and organ-specific gene expression
Mathematical models of morphogenetic processes.

Instructions to Authors
Online submission of manuscripts is required at http://dvdy-wiley.manuscriptcentral.com. Authors should identify their manuscripts as one of seven types: Research Article, Patterns & Phenotypes, Techniques, Reviews, Book Look (book review), Shop Talk (meeting review) or Special Issue Article. Authors are encouraged to suggest an appropriate Associate Editor for coordinating peer review. Authors also are encouraged to suggest appropriate individuals as reviewers or who, because of potential conflict, should not be considered as reviewers. Reviews will be assigned to the Reviews Editor. Authors interested in submitting a Reviews manuscript should e-mail the Reviews Editor a detailed outline of the proposed review before submitting a complete manuscript. Authors submitting a Reviews manuscript should plan in advance to obtain written copyright release from the publishers of all previously published figures and art work used in their review and include them with the manuscript upon initial submission. Only manuscripts written in acceptable English will be considered, manuscripts should be as concise as possible and all manuscripts must submitted manuscripts must be approved by all authors. Manuscripts must be original and must not have been published previously either in whole or in part, except in abstract form, and must not be under consideration by any other journal.
Reported studies using animal and human subjects must have been approved by the appropriate institutional review boards. Publication in Developmental Dynamics signifies that the authors will distribute freely to interested academic researchers biological materials (clones, cell lines, antibodies, mutant animals, etc.) used in the studies that are being reported. For personal communications, permission in writing from the communicator is required to publish the information. All new DNA sequence data should be submitted to GenBank, and authors are required to provide an accession number with the final accepted manuscript.
For reports of novel protein sequences derived from nucleic acid sequences, authors are required to submit both the protein and the nucleic acid sequences to appropriate data bases and provide accession numbers with the final, accepted manuscript.
Microarray data should also be supplied as Supplementary Material at the time of submission in a MIAME-compliant format (see http://www.mged.org/Workgroups/MIAME/miame.html for more information), together with the completed MIAME checklist. At acceptance we also require that microarray data be submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) or ArrayExpress (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress) databases, with accession numbers made available before publication.
FORMAT OF MANUSCRIPTS
Research Articles. These can be of any length, ranging from short communications to comprehensive studies. The manuscript should be organized as follows: Title page (with title, names, and institutional affiliations—to department level—of all the authors; the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author; running title; key words; and grant information in the following format: Grant Sponsor: ; Grant number .), Abstract (150 words clearly stating the focus and main results of the paper), Introduction, Results, Discussion, Experimental Procedures, Acknowledgments, References, Footnotes, Tables, Figure Legends.
Patterns & Phenotypes. These highlight important descriptive studies, especially those illustrating gene and protein expression patterns, as well as phenotypes resulting from mutagenesis or gene mis-expression. Papers comparing expression across multiple animal models, protein and RNA patterns in the same model, or multiple families members in the same model are especially desirable. The manuscript should include the same sections as listed above for Research Articles, except that the Results and Discussion may be combined and Experimental Procedures may be replaced with a brief Methods. Patterns & Phenotypes are typically between 5 and 6 journal pages (950 words per page), but may be longer if necessary, and they are not limited in the number of color figures than can be included, except that only figures necessary to illustrate the important findings should be submitted. All Patterns & Phenotypes are published in the electronic version of the journal only. The title page/abstract of each Patterns & Phenotypes article will continue to appear in the print version, and Patterns & Phenotypes articles will continue to be indexed by NLM (i.e., appear in PubMed). Gene expression patterns from accepted Patterns & Phenotypes articles (as well as from other article types) will be deposited in non-profit online electronic data repositories when deemed appropriate by the Editorial Board and Publisher and when such databases are available. Repositories provide an important service to the research community and facilitate the exchange and availability of important research information.
Techniques. These highlight important technical advances in the field. The manuscript should include the same sections as listed above for Research Articles, except that Results and Discussion may be combined and Experimental Procedures must be detailed and complete. If it facilitates communication, Results and Experimental Procedures may be combined in a stepwise, recipe fashion. Techniques are typically between 4-6 journal pages (950 words per page), but may be longer if necessary, and should not be submitted with more than 2 full pages of color illustrations without prior approval of the Editor-in-Chief.
Reviews. These can be short perspective-type reviews or comprehensive reviews. The manuscript should be organized as follows: Title page (with title, names and institutional affiliations—to department level—of all the authors; the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author; running title; key words; and grant information in the following format: Grant Sponsor: ; Grant number .), Abstract (150 words clearly stating the focus of the review), Body of the review including, if possible, a Short Perspectives or Future Directions section at the end, Acknowledgments, References, Footnotes, Tables, Figure Legends. Reviews (depending on whether they are a perspective-type review or a comprehensive analysis of an area of research) should be between 5 and 20 journal pages (950 words/page) in length.
Special Issue Articles. Calls for Special Issue Articles will be issued periodically. The format for these will be dictated by their type, and they may follow the format of a Research Article, Patterns and Phenotypes, Techniques or Reviews. Please contact the Associate Editor identified with the call for Special Issue Articles, or the Editor-in-Chief, for further details.
Book Look and Shop Talk. Ideas for book reviews (Book Look) and meeting reviews (Shop Talk) should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief prior to the writing and submission of manuscripts. These typically consist of 1-2 printed pages (950 words per printed page) and do not have subheadings.
Manuscripts on disks and hard copies
At acceptance of the manuscript, the authors must submit the final revised version of an accepted manuscript (text, tables, and illustrations) on disk, as well as one hard copy of the entire text, tables and illustrations (high quality glossy prints suitable for scanning, if necessary). Complete guidelines for preparation and submission of diskettes are given at http://dvdy-wiley.manuscriptcentral.com.
Videos
Videos should be submitted on disc in QuickTime 4.0 or higher format. All videos should be submitted at the desired reproduction size and length. To avoid excessive delays in downloading the files, videos should be no more than 6MB in size, and run between 30-60 seconds in length. Authors are encouraged to use QuickTime’s “compress” option when preparing files to help control file size. Additionally, cropping frames and image sizes can significantly reduce file sizes. Files submitted can be looped to play more than once, provided file size does not become excessive. Authors will be notified if problems exist with videos as submitted, and will be asked to modify them. No editing will be done to the videos at the editorial office—all changes are the responsibility of the author.
Review and Publication
Every effort will be made for speedy review and rapid publication of accepted papers. Our goal is to have each submission reviewed within two weeks of assignment to referees. To be considered a revised rather than a new manuscript requiring full review, manuscripts requiring revisions must be resubmitted within three months.
Abbreviation and Units
Use standard abbreviations. Spell out all nonstandard abbreviations the first time used.
Figures and Legends
Rapid InspectorTM gives authors of scientific, technical, and medical journals a resource for certifying their illustrations prior to submission. Utilizing this software will ensure that your graphics are suitable for print production. To download this journal's free Rapid Inspector software, please visit http://rapidinspector.cadmus.com/RapidInspector/zwi/index.jsp.
Figures should be submitted in final size, to fit either one (55 mm, 2 3/16”), two (115 mm, 4 1/2”), or three (175 mm, 6 7/8”) columns. The length of an illustration cannot exceed 227 mm (9”). Helvetica typeface is preferred for lettering of illustrations. All letters, numbers and symbols must be at least 2 mm high. Courier typeface should be used for sequence figures. Number figures in one consecutive series with Arabic numerals, and key them into the text. Identify each figure on a label affixed to its back with the number, the first author’s name, and the title of the paper. Clearly indicate the top of the figure to ensure its correct orientation. Do not write directly on glossy prints. Do not use devices such as paper clips, which can scratch or dent the glossy surface. Submit a brief descriptive legend with each illustration, and do not repeat results in figure legends. Legends for each figure should not exceed 200 words. Abbreviations used in figures and legends must match exactly those used in the text. Submission of potential cover photos as 8 × 10” glossy color images (minimum resolution of 300 dpi) is encouraged.
Color Plates
Color plates, when deemed necessary, are published free of charge. Authors are encouraged to group color illustrations onto a single page without sacrificing the clarity of the manuscript. The publisher reserves the right to regroup illustrations and change their size and position to utilize color pages efficiently.
Tables
Each table must have a self-explanatory title, be numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numerals and be cited at an appropriate point in the text. Tables should present comparisons of data that are too cumbersome to describe in the text; they should not merely repeat text information.

Instructions for Manuscripts on Disk
At acceptance of the manuscript, the authors must submit the final revised version of an accepted manuscript (text, tables and illustrations) on disk, as well as 1 hard copy of the entire text, tables and illustrations (high quality glossy suitable for scanning, if necessary). The hard copy must match the disk.
Guidelines
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 (or later) is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require grey scale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
