- The message here is that publishing in Development might not be as hard as you think. This is supported by policy changes such as: - publishing peer review history files where authors agree - cross-reviewer consultation - ongoing editor consultation - using 'Limitations' sections [1/2]
- The hard truth about how hard it is to publish in Development Editor-in-Chief @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social leads our team of Academic Editors in addressing the perception that Development is ‘too hard to publish in’ by discussing the journal's review process. doi.org/10.1242/dev....
- While some journals publish anything without question, Development is still selective. We value input from peer reviewers and the expertise of our editors. Like all journals, we don't get everything right all the time but it's my experience that both our editors & in-house team do their best [2/2]Jan 12, 2026 10:49
