Invertebrate Reproduction & Development ( IRD) presents original research on the reproductive and developmental biology of the Invertebrata, both embryonic and postembryonic. IRD welcomes papers reporting significant results obtained using new techniques. Encouraged topic areas include: aquaculture, physiology, biochemistry, functional morphology, phylogeny, behavioural and regulatory mechanisms, including genetic, endocrine and molecular studies. Papers containing qualitative descriptions of reproductive cycles and gametogenesis will not be considered. IRD is published in association with the International Society of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development. The journal publishes penetrating and provocative reviews, research papers, notes and announcements. New techniques and perspectives are particularly welcome. The journal also welcomes short reports on 'hot' articles appearing in the current literature. The main criteria for acceptance of subject reviews and research papers 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 blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

無脊椎動物生殖與發(fā)育(IRD)對胚胎和胚胎后無脊椎動物的生殖和發(fā)育生物學進行了開創(chuàng)性的研究。稅務局歡迎報告使用新技術取得重大成果的文件。鼓勵的主題領域包括:水產(chǎn)養(yǎng)殖、生理學、生物化學、功能形態(tài)學、系統(tǒng)發(fā)育、行為和調節(jié)機制，包括遺傳、內分泌和分子研究。包含生殖周期和配子發(fā)生定性描述的論文將不予考慮。IRD與國際無脊椎動物繁殖與發(fā)展協(xié)會聯(lián)合出版。該雜志發(fā)表具有穿透力和挑釁性的評論、研究論文、筆記和公告。特別歡迎新技術和新觀點。《華爾街日報》還歡迎對當前文獻中出現(xiàn)的“熱門”文章進行簡短報道。接受主題評論和研究論文的主要標準是原創(chuàng)性、科學性和對國際讀者的吸引力。所有提交的稿件都要經(jīng)過編輯的初步評估，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)適合進一步考慮，還要經(jīng)過獨立的、匿名的專家評審。所有的同行評審都是單盲的，通過ScholarOne手稿在線提交。
