Fly

期刊简介：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.

【译文】《Fly》是第一本专注于果蝇研究的国际同行评审期刊。它涵盖了广泛的生物子学科，从发育生物学和器官发生到感觉神经生物学、昼夜节律和学习记忆，再到性别决定、进化生物学和物种形成。我们致力于成为每位与果蝇工作的研究者的首选资源，通过提供一个论坛，让果蝇社区的特定兴趣得以讨论。随着分子技术的发展，研究人员能够操纵许多其他生物的基因及其功能，现在《Fly》也发表使用其他昆虫模型系统研究重要生物学问题的论文。Fly 提供各种论文，包括原创研究文章、方法和技术进步、简报、综述和会议报告。此外，Fly 还特色推出两种非常规类型的贡献，即对立观点文章和额外视角文章。对立观点文章是对质疑当前范例的争议性论文进行批判性讨论的观点文章，无论其是否合理。额外视角文章通常由 Fly 编辑邀请撰写，为在其他地方即将发表的重要论文的作者提供了一个扩展其原始发现并讨论其发现更广泛影响的机遇。额外视角作者强烈鼓励补充其发表观察结果中未包含的额外数据或随后获得的数据。
