Aims and Scope

What the journal publishes

JFB welcomes discovery, mechanistic, clinical and methodological research on markers of reproductive function in humans and animals, including the following areas.

Row A: Gamete quality
Oocyte maturation and developmental competence; sperm function, morphology and DNA integrity; oxidative stress in gametes.
Row B: Implantation and the endometrium
Endometrial receptivity, decidualization, embryo–maternal signaling and early embryo viability markers.
Row C: Reproductive hormones
Ovarian reserve markers such as anti-Müllerian hormone, gonadotropin and steroid signaling, and metabolic hormones in reproduction.
Row D: Molecular and genetic markers
Gene expression, epigenetic and microRNA signatures, genetic variants and chromosomal integrity in reproductive tissues.
Row E: Reproductive immunology
Immune and inflammatory markers in fertility, implantation and pregnancy, including immunological findings in unexplained infertility.
Row F: Clinical reproductive medicine
Ovarian stimulation and assisted reproduction, fertility preservation, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis and male infertility.
Row G: Pregnancy and reproductive outcomes
Markers that inform pregnancy course, pregnancy loss and reproductive outcomes across the life course.
Row H: Comparative and animal reproduction
Fertility markers in livestock and other species, and animal models that inform human reproductive research.

These areas are illustrative. Obstetrics, gynecology or andrology work is in scope when it addresses such a marker. The full statement is on the Aims and Scope page.
