Membership
A new membership experience for advancing reproductive health research with clarity, care, and affordability.
Journal of Women's Reproductive Health Membership
Designed for clinicians, researchers, educators, institutions, and industry teams committed to women's health outcomes.
Membership creates a predictable publishing pathway with transparent APC support and personalized editorial guidance.
The Journal of Women's Reproductive Health is an open access, peer reviewed journal providing a platform for gynecology, obstetrics, reproductive endocrinology, maternal health, fertility science, and public health research. Our membership program supports the scientific community by lowering APC burdens, providing predictable publishing routes, and reinforcing ethical, patient-centered scholarship.
Membership is appropriate for universities, research institutes, scientific societies, healthcare systems, corporate research groups, and individual authors. Funds received through membership directly support editorial operations, production quality, long-term preservation, and author assistance across the publication lifecycle.
Financial Predictability
Membership transforms APCs into an annual plan, helping teams manage budgets while still publishing high quality research.
Scholarly Visibility
Open access distribution and structured metadata help your work reach clinicians, policy partners, and multidisciplinary collaborators.
Editorial Guidance
Members receive proactive support on manuscript structure, reporting standards, and journal requirements.
Community Recognition
Each membership includes a certificate acknowledging your commitment to women's health scholarship.
Membership supports a rigorous publication workflow rooted in clinical ethics and transparent reporting. The journal follows established guidance for clinical trials, observational studies, and case reports, and we expect clear ethics approvals and consent statements when human participants are involved. Authors are encouraged to include data availability statements along with funding and conflict of interest disclosures.
These expectations apply to all authors. Membership helps authors prepare compliant submissions through guidance and checklists, but it does not change editorial decisions. The same peer review criteria and publication ethics policies are applied to every manuscript.
Ethics and Consent
Clear ethics approval, patient consent, and privacy safeguards for any identifiable data or images.
Reproducible Reporting
Structured methods, transparent outcomes, and complete data availability statements.
Responsible Authorship
Author contributions, funding transparency, and conflict of interest disclosures.
