HUMAN REPRODUCTION UPDATE
Scope & Guideline
Exploring Innovations in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Reproductive Health and Disorders:
The journal covers a wide range of topics related to reproductive health, including infertility, reproductive endocrinology, and gynecological disorders, with a specific emphasis on conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and adenomyosis. - Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):
A significant focus of the journal is on ART, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and advancements in reproductive technologies. This includes systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the efficacy and safety of various ART protocols. - Maternal-Fetal Health:
The journal addresses the implications of reproductive technologies and maternal health on fetal outcomes, examining factors such as maternal age, preconception health, and the effects of environmental exposures on reproductive success. - Genetics and Epigenetics in Reproduction:
Research on genetic and epigenetic factors influencing fertility, embryonic development, and pregnancy outcomes is a core area, highlighting the importance of genetic counseling and testing in reproductive medicine. - Lifestyle and Reproductive Health:
The journal emphasizes the impact of lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and psychological well-being, on fertility and reproductive health, promoting a holistic approach to managing infertility. - Ethical and Social Considerations:
Discussion of ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding reproductive health, including donor conception, genetic testing, and access to fertility treatments, is an integral part of the journal's scope.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Environmental Factors:
There is an increasing focus on how environmental exposures, such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, affect reproductive health and fertility outcomes, emphasizing the importance of public health interventions. - Integrative Approaches to Infertility Treatment:
Emerging research is exploring integrative treatments for infertility, combining lifestyle changes, psychological support, and traditional medical interventions to enhance reproductive outcomes. - Technological Advancements in Reproductive Medicine:
Innovations in reproductive technologies, including genetic screening and embryo selection techniques, are gaining attention, with studies evaluating their efficacy and ethical implications. - Longitudinal Studies on Fertility Trends:
The journal is increasingly publishing longitudinal studies that track fertility trends over time, providing insights into changing demographics, societal shifts, and their impact on reproductive health. - Mental Health and Infertility:
There is a growing recognition of the psychological aspects of infertility, with more research focusing on the mental health of individuals undergoing fertility treatments and the psychosocial implications of reproductive technologies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Contraceptive Methods:
There has been a noticeable decrease in articles discussing traditional contraceptive methods, as newer research trends focus more on advanced reproductive technologies and their implications for fertility. - Single-Dimensional Studies:
The journal appears to be moving away from studies that do not employ systematic reviews or meta-analyses, favoring more comprehensive approaches that synthesize existing evidence to guide clinical practice. - Basic Reproductive Physiology without Clinical Context:
Research focusing solely on basic reproductive physiology, without direct implications for clinical practice or patient outcomes, has seen reduced representation, reflecting a trend towards more applied and translational research. - Focus on Male Infertility Alone:
While male infertility remains an important topic, the journal has shown a decline in publications dedicated solely to male factors without considering the interplay with female infertility and overall reproductive health.
