Description
Mechanisms of Development is an international journal whose purpose is to communicate contemporary studies
in developmental biology with special emphasis on the characterization of molecular mechanisms underlying development processes in either
vertebrates or invertebrates. Areas of particular interest include embryogenesis, pattern formation, cell determination and differentiation,
specification of tissue type, targetted disruptions of developmental control genes, the roles of transcription factor in development,
regulatory hierarchies of gene expression, cell-cell communication and signal transduction in development, as well as post-transcriptional
controls of developmental processes such as regulated splicing and protein modification.
Such a focus should provide a unique forum
for comparing and contrasting strategies of development among a wide spectrum of organisms. The Editors are strongly committed to establishing
the highest standards of quality and scientific merit, and guarantee rapid communication of important contributions. Colour illustrations
will be reproduced free of charge to the authors.
Mechanisms of Development has a separate section for the publication of
"cloning and expression" papers and reports of the results of molecular/gene expression screens, Gene Expression Patterns. See

Some important advantages of submitting to MoD
• Fast review times: the
average time to first decision on submitted manuscripts is currently around 21 days.
• High standard and fairness of review
process: A recent survey of MoD authors indicates that authors consider that the standard of reviewing in MoD is high compared to
other journals. They also pointed out that they were particularly happy with the fairness with which their manuscripts were treated by
the reviewers and the editors.
• High visibility: MoD is accessible to thousands of institutes worldwide through ScienceDirect.
• High impact: MoD currently has the 4th highest impact factor among developmental biology journals (after Dev Cell,
Development and Dev Biol) and this is predicted to increase further in the coming year.
• High quality of reproduction:
the quality of the printed version of MoD is second to none in the field.
• Very fast and efficient electronic submission
system: the entire submission, reviewing and production system is paper-free.
