Comparative Cytogenetics

Aims & Scope

Comparative Cytogenetics publishes papers of high scientific quality reporting comprehensive research on descriptions and photos of karyotypes, characteristics of mitosis and meiosis, micro- and macrogametogenesis, modes of reproduction, mechanisms of sex determination and taxonomic conclusions.

Comparative Cytogenetics considers the following categories of papers for publication: The following categories of papers will be considered: -original research articles -reviews - longer articles, offering a comprehensive overview, historical analysis or/and future perspectives of a topic -monographs and collections of papers with no limit in size, published as 'special issues' -short communications -letters and discussion papers -book reviews.

The journal publishes electronic versions of the articles when these are ready to publish, without delays that might be caused by completion of an issue.

These electronic versions are not "pre-prints" but final and immutable (Version of Record), hence available for the purposes of biological nomenclature.

The date indicated on the electronic version is to be considered the actual publication date.
