Journal Title：Fly

Fly is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus on Drosophila research. Fly covers a broad range of biological sub-disciplines, ranging from developmental biology and organogenesis to sensory neurobiology, circadian rhythm and learning and memory, to sex determination, evolutionary biology and speciation. We strive to become the “to go” resource for every researcher working with Drosophila by providing a forum where the specific interests of the Drosophila community can be discussed. With the advance of molecular technologies that enable researchers to manipulate genes and their functions in many other organisms, Fly is now also publishing papers that use other insect model systems used to investigate important biological questions.

Fly offers a variety of papers, including Original Research Articles, Methods and Technical Advances, Brief Communications, Reviews and Meeting Reports. In addition, Fly also features two unconventional types of contributions, Counterpoints and Extra View articles. Counterpoints are opinion pieces that critically discuss controversial papers questioning current paradigms, whether justified or not. Extra View articles, which generally are solicited by Fly editors, provide authors of important forthcoming papers published elsewhere an opportunity to expand on their original findings and discuss the broader impact of their discovery. Extra View authors are strongly encouraged to complement their published observations with additional data not included in the original paper or acquired subsequently.

Fly 是第一本專注于果蠅研究的國(guó)際同行評(píng)議期刊。Fly 涵蓋了廣泛的生物學(xué)分支學(xué)科，從發(fā)育生物學(xué)和器官發(fā)生到感覺神經(jīng)生物學(xué)、晝夜節(jié)律和學(xué)習(xí)與記憶，再到性別決定、進(jìn)化生物學(xué)和物種形成。我們努力成為每一位研究果蠅的研究人員的“必備”資源，提供一個(gè)可以討論果蠅群體特定興趣的論壇。隨著分子技術(shù)的進(jìn)步，研究人員能夠操縱許多其他生物中的基因及其功能，F(xiàn)ly 現(xiàn)在也發(fā)表使用其他昆蟲模型系統(tǒng)來(lái)研究重要生物學(xué)問題的論文。

Fly 提供各種論文，包括原創(chuàng)研究文章、方法和技術(shù)進(jìn)步、簡(jiǎn)報(bào)、評(píng)論和會(huì)議報(bào)告。此外，F(xiàn)ly 還提供了兩種非常規(guī)類型的貢獻(xiàn)，即對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)和額外觀點(diǎn)文章。對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)是批判性地討論質(zhì)疑當(dāng)前范式的有爭(zhēng)議的論文的觀點(diǎn)文章，無(wú)論是否合理。 Extra View 文章通常由 Fly 編輯征集，為即將在其他地方發(fā)表的重要論文的作者提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，讓他們能夠擴(kuò)展自己的原始發(fā)現(xiàn)并討論其發(fā)現(xiàn)的更廣泛影響。我們強(qiáng)烈鼓勵(lì) Extra View 作者使用原始論文中未包含或隨后獲取的額外數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)補(bǔ)充他們發(fā)表的觀察結(jié)果。

Fly創(chuàng)刊于2007年，由Landes Bioscience出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 生化與分子生物學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對(duì)較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)2.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
