Five reasons for publishing in human_ontogenetics

In autumn 2007, the Editorial Office of human_ontogenetics received the first manuscripts for publication and made the first experiences with the editorial and production process. Since then, the start of our new journal was very successful: We received a number of manuscripts and many more requests. Some of the articles published during the last months in human_ontogenetics were downloaded by our readers more than 1,000 times.

Against the background of one year of human_ontogenetics, we would like to briefly summarize the advantages of publishing in human_ontogenetics, to stimulate even more potential authors from the entire field of human life sciences to submit their papers. In essence, we see at least the following five major reasons for publishing papers related to the development of human beings in our journal.
