- 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]

- The first article in #DevSIextracellular has already been published! In their work, Rohan S. Roy & A. J. Hudspeth (@rockefeller.edu) show how gaps in tissue boundaries determine where regenerating axons branch, dependent on a secreted extracellular matrix protein. Read the paper ⤵

- I think the latest cover helps to remind us that Development is not just a faceless brand of a journal eager to line shareholder pockets - it's a group of people who share a love for #devbio and, in my experience, really are trying to do their best for their community. #not-for-profit
- Issue 24 is complete! Marking the end of #biologists100, the cover features members of our community, including some featured 'extraordinary biologists' #100biologists, as well as our Editors and in-house team. Thank you to all our authors and reviewers, past and present, for their contributions.

- A fascinating case report. The DNA of a female murder victim was genotyped and it turns out that she has been a chimera: a mixture of 46XX/46XY cell lines. The analysis (STR-based) found: 1. The maternal chromosome was identical between the two cell lines. www.fsigenetics.com/article/S187... 1/6
