The 10th Anniversary of JDB: Feature Papers
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The year 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Journal of Developmental Biology (JDB) (ISSN 2221-3759), which is a peer-reviewed, open access journal on the development of multicellular organisms at the molecule, cell, tissue, organ, and whole-organism levels. The JDB has published over 299 papers by more than 935 authors, and nearly 515 reviewers have submitted at least one review report. We appreciate the contributions made by authors and reviewers, which have led to the continued success of our journal.
To celebrate this 10th anniversary, we are arranging a series of special content and events. We hope that you can join us in celebrating this milestone for our journal and enjoy the collection below.
To celebrate this significant milestone, a Special Issue, entitled “The 10th Anniversary of JDB: Feature Papers”, has been launched. This Special Issue will include high-quality papers on topics within the broad scope of JDB. It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute an original research paper or comprehensive review article on a current, trending topic for peer review and possible publication in the JDB.
Prof. Dr. Simon J. Conway
Guest Editor
