Aims and Scope
EMJ Reproductive Health is an open-access, peer-reviewed eJournal committed to helping elevate the quality of practices in reproductive health globally by informing healthcare professionals on the latest research in the field. EMJ Reproductive Health endeavours to increase knowledge, stimulate discussion, and contribute to a better understanding of current issues around reproductive health.
The journal is published annually, six weeks after the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) Congress, and features highlights from this congress, alongside interviews with experts in the field, reviews of abstracts presented at the congress, as well as in-depth features on congress sessions. Additionally, the journal covers advances within the clinical and pharmaceutical arenas by publishing sponsored content from congress symposia, which is of high educational value for healthcare professionals. This undergoes rigorous quality control checks by independent experts and the in-house editorial team.
EMJ Reproductive Health also publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and case reports relevant to the field. In addition, the journal welcomes the submission of features and opinion pieces intended to create a discussion around key topics in the field and broaden readers’ professional interests. The journal is managed by a dedicated editorial team that adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, maintains high standards of copy editing, and ensures timely publication.
EMJ Reproductive Health focuses on topics that are relevant to healthcare professionals in the field. We do not publish veterinary science papers or laboratory studies that are not linked to patient outcomes.
