You will find a pulldown menu on the journal's submission site for "article type' that will allow you to direct your submission to the special issue. The deadline for submission to the special issue is October 1st, 2014. The Special Issue will include both solicited reviews and peer reviewed research articles on a range of topics that highlight Xenopus as a disease model. This Special Issue is tentatively scheduled to be published in early 2015. The advantages of publishing in Developmental Biology Include: * Fair, rapid review and Academic Editors * Free color figures * No preset page, figure, or reference limits * Open access option * Publishing in DB helps support the efforts of the Society for Developmental Biology to promote the field Developmental Biology Please consider whether you might have an exciting upcoming story that might be appropriate for inclusion in this issue, or an idea for a timely review. If you would be interested in submitting a review or a research paper for the special issue, please send a pre-submission inquiry to clabonne at northwestern.edu. We look forward to seeing you in Asilomar August 24-28 2014 for the 15th International Xenopus Meeting Carole LaBonne Northwestern University Aaron Zorn CCHMC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
