Journal Title：Fly

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.

Fly 是第一本專注于果蠅研究的國際同行評議期刊。Fly 涵蓋了廣泛的生物學分支學科，從發育生物學和器官發生到感覺神經生物學、晝夜節律和學習與記憶，再到性別決定、進化生物學和物種形成。我們努力成為每一位研究果蠅的研究人員的“必備”資源，提供一個可以討論果蠅群體特定興趣的論壇。隨著分子技術的進步，研究人員能夠操縱許多其他生物中的基因及其功能，Fly 現在也發表使用其他昆蟲模型系統來研究重要生物學問題的論文。

Fly 提供各種論文，包括原創研究文章、方法和技術進步、簡報、評論和會議報告。此外，Fly 還提供了兩種非常規類型的貢獻，即對立觀點和額外觀點文章。對立觀點是批判性地討論質疑當前范式的有爭議的論文的觀點文章，無論是否合理。 Extra View 文章通常由 Fly 編輯征集，為即將在其他地方發表的重要論文的作者提供了一個機會，讓他們能夠擴展自己的原始發現并討論其發現的更廣泛影響。我們強烈鼓勵 Extra View 作者使用原始論文中未包含或隨后獲取的額外數據來補充他們發表的觀察結果。

Fly創刊于2007年，由Landes Bioscience出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 生化與分子生物學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數2.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
