HEREDITAS is one of the oldest journals specializing in the study of inheritance. It enjoys a distinguished reputation of having published classical papers in particular in the fields of cytogenetics, ecological and population genetics, plant and animal breeding and human genetics. We welcome manuscripts in all aspects of genetics. We have a tradition of having published papers that have changed the way the community of scientists think. We are included in the indexing services. As an Open Access journal we charge the authors but our prices are certainly competitive; in fact they are among the cheapest for any comparable journal.We have a record of processing manuscripts fast.As a further plus we give unlimited opportunities of including colour figures.
