'Developmental Neuroscience' is a multidisciplinary journal publishing papers covering all stages of invertebrate, vertebrate and human brain development. Emphasis is placed on publishing fundamental as well as translational studies that contribute to our understanding of mechanisms of normal development as well as genetic and environmental causes of abnormal brain development. The journal thus provides valuable information for both physicians and biologists. To meet the rapidly expanding information needs of its readers, the journal combines original papers that report on progress and advances in developmental neuroscience with concise mini-reviews that provide a timely overview of key topics, new insights and ongoing controversies.
Published online first
Articles are published electronically ahead of print and are available online immediately after the author's approval to print. They are fully citable as they have been allocated DOIs even though they have not been assigned to a specific issue of ''Developmental Neuroscience'.

![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Suggested reviewers: Names, postal and e-mail addresses of four experts in the appropriate area of research should accompany each manuscript. Furthermore, up to four individuals who should not be solicited to review your article can be listed.

![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/c_008480/z3.gif) Conditions
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) All manuscripts are subject to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Developmental Neuroscience’ and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.

![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/c_008480/z3.gif) Arrangement
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors’ names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title (of less than 80 characters and spaces) for use as running head. NB: Authors wishing to preserve the phonetic meaning of diacritics (PubMed reduces diacritics to their root characters) must spell their names accordingly when submitting manuscripts (e.g. Müller should be Mueller).
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Key words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3–10 key words in English is essential. A variety of key words that will help readers to find the article should be indicated, and terms that are not already used in the manuscript title should be selected.
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract of 500 words or less.
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Footnotes: Avoid footnotes. When essential, they are numbered consecutively and typed at the foot of the appropriate page.
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate sheets. Tables require a heading and figures a legend, also prepared on a separate sheet. For the reproduction of illustrations, only good drawings and original photographs can be accepted; negatives or photocopies cannot be used. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. When possible, group several illustrations on one block for reproduction (max. size 180 x 223 mm) or provide crop marks. Electronically submitted b/w half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800-1200 dpi.

![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) The journal will accept manuscripts with references in two formats.
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Format 1: In the text identify references by Arabic numerals [in square brackets]. Material submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be noted as ‘unpublished data’ and not be included in the reference list. The list of references should include only those publications which are cited in the text. Do not alphabetize; number references in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. The surnames of the authors followed by initials should be given. There should be no punctuation other than a comma to separate the authors. Preferably, please cite all authors. Abbreviate journal names according to the Index Medicus system. (Also see International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. N Engl J Med 1997;336:309–315. www.icmje.org)

![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Authors are encouraged to submit a color photograph for consideration as cover image after a paper has been accepted for publication.

![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) NIH-Funded Research
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandates under the NIH Public Access Policy that final, peer-reviewed manuscripts appear in its digital database within 12 months of the official publication date. As a service to authors, Karger submits the final version of your article on your behalf to PubMed Central. For those selecting our premium Author's ChoiceTM service, we will send your article immediately upon publishing, accelerating the accessibility of your work without the usual embargo. More details on NIH's Public Access Policy is available here.
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Self-Archiving
![](http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/images/global/pixel.gif) Karger permits authors to archive their pre-prints (i.e. pre-refereeing) or post-prints (i.e. final draft post-refereeing) on their personal or institution's servers, provided the following conditions are met: Articles may not be used for commercial purposes, must be linked to the publisher's version, and must acknowledge the publisher's copyright. Authors selecting Karger's Author's ChoiceTM feature, however, are also permitted to archive the final, published version of their article, which includes copyediting and design improvements as well as citation links.
