INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY

The INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY (ISSN 0214-6282) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published bimonthly in Bilbao, Spain, by the University of the Basque Country Press. It has an impact factor that varies annually and is indexed in SCI (Science Citation Index), with a current JCR ranking typically in Q3 or Q4 of developmental biology. The journal is not fully open access (OA) but offers optional OA publishing. It focuses on developmental biology, covering topics such as embryogenesis, cell differentiation, regeneration, and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), with a mix of original research, reviews, and methodological advances. The journal is recognized for its niche specialization, though its lower impact factor and moderate citation rates may reflect its narrower audience. Authors should consider its reputation in the field and potential visibility when submitting, as it may not be the top choice for high-impact studies but remains a solid option for developmental biology research.
