Aim & Scope
The International Journal of Reproductive Research (IJRR) is devoted to publishing cutting-edge research and scholarly contributions across a broad spectrum of topics within reproductive health and medicine. The journal's aim and scope include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Reproductive Biology: Investigations into the physiological, molecular, and cellular processes underlying reproductive function in both sexes, including gametogenesis, fertilization, implantation, embryonic development, and placental biology.
- Fertility and Infertility: Studies exploring the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infertility, encompassing male and female infertility, ovulatory disorders, tubal and uterine abnormalities, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other related conditions.
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Research focusing on in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), gamete and embryo cryopreservation, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), ovarian stimulation protocols, and other ART procedures aimed at overcoming infertility and improving reproductive outcomes.
- Contraception and Family Planning: Studies evaluating the safety, efficacy, and acceptability of contraceptive methods, including hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUDs), barrier methods, sterilization techniques, and emerging contraceptive technologies.
- Reproductive Endocrinology: Investigations into hormonal regulation of the reproductive system, disorders of reproductive endocrine function, menstrual cycle abnormalities, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and the impact of endocrine disruptors on reproductive health.
- Reproductive Genetics and Epigenetics: Research examining genetic and epigenetic factors influencing reproductive processes, hereditary reproductive disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, genetic counseling, and the role of epigenetic modifications in gametogenesis and embryonic development.
- Reproductive Health and Well-being: Studies addressing broader issues related to reproductive health, including sexual and reproductive rights, reproductive justice, access to care, contraception education, infertility stigma, and the psychosocial aspects of reproductive health and fertility treatment.
IJRR welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and scholars worldwide that advance knowledge, promote innovation, and contribute to improving reproductive health outcomes for individuals and communities worldwide. Our journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and dissemination of evidence-based research, with the ultimate goal of advancing the field of reproductive medicine and enhancing the quality of care for patients across the reproductive lifespan.
