Registered Reports: introducing a new article format in Developmental Science

Editorial: Introducing Registered Reports

The way we do science is rather stereotyped. We have hypotheses to test, and we plan the experiments, sometimes a long time ahead, to test these hypotheses. Writing a grant proposal is a typical example: we give a detailed plan of what we are going to do in the coming years. Of course, we never know how a project will evolve, and deviations from the original plan are commonplace, as milestones ...

Introducing a new manuscript format: Enabling access to immunogenomic population data with short population reports.

The capacity to replicate the findings of a study is key to the advancement of research, and access to the data on which a study is predicated is required for true replication. Population genetic studies have long been a focus of the immunogenetic research community, but access to the primary genotype data underlying these studies has historically been limited. With the notable exception of the...

Introduction : new methods in developmental science

This special issue of Developmental Science reflects a new era of methodological advances in tools for use in developmental science. These methods for imaging the structure and function of the brain will help provide insights into both new and classic developmental questions. Yet, other approaches (e.g. animal, computational and genetic methods) remain essential both for constraining the interp...
