I am excited about the interest in publishing in Biology of Sex Differences from the scientific community. We are receiving many excellent articles for review daily. As the breadth of articles increases, we want to make sure that the importance of the sex differences being reported are appreciated by the entire scientific community and by the lay audience as well. With this in mind, we are initiating the inclusion of a “Plain English” summary after the abstract. We are also asking that titles and abstracts avoid jargon and abbreviations to enhance a broader appreciation of the findings reported in the article.
Please refer to the “About” page for further details. Note also the changes to ‘Criteria’ that have been made including the requirement for 5 suggested reviewers included in the appropriate field during submission: https://bsd.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines
In your cover letter, please note two members of our Editorial Board to review your manuscript , dependent on the relevant expertise. In light of this, please ensure that there are no conflicts of interest.
Watch for new special collections announcements coming soon!
