Call for Papers

Fly, Volume 4, Issue 1
January/February/March 2010

Attention Fly Grad Students!

We are now inviting Student Short Reviews — single-author papers written by graduate students. They should be recognized as scholarly by specialists in the field, but should also be written in simple prose with the goal of informing readers who are not specialized in that particular field. Papers are not limited by length (or word count), but should be written succinctly in clear, grammatical English.

Click here to read a student short review entitled, "Regulation and function of the melanization reaction in Drosophila," by Huaping Tang (Yale University).

Fly is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus exclusively on Drosophila research. All of our articles appear both online and in print. Fly is abstracted/indexed in: Medline/PubMed, Science Citation Index Expanded (available as Current Contents/Life Sciences, Zoological Record, Biological Abstract and Biosis Previews). We are in our third year of publication and the archives are open access.

We welcome submissions in all areas of Drosophila biology in a variety of formats. We also invite suggestions from readers to help us achieve our goal of developing Fly into an essential resource for the fly community. For more information, please visit our website or contact the Editor-in-Chief, Kristen Johansen.
