Invertebrate Reproduction & Development ( IRD) presents original research on all aspects of the reproductive and developmental biology of invertebrate animal taxa (all multicellular animal taxa except those in the Vertebrata subphylum). Encouraged topic areas include: reproductive physiology, biochemistry, morphology, and behaviour, and the regulatory mechanisms underlying reproduction and development (genetic, endocrine and molecular). Papers reporting significant results obtained using new techniques, and applied studies related to captive breeding and aquaculture will also be considered.The journal publishes review papers, original research papers, and short notes. It also welcomes brief reports on extraordinary or unique phenomena centered on an impactful image.
The main criteria for acceptance are originality, scientific rigour and appeal to an international readership. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
