Ongoing Special Issues
Explore active collections and submit to focused calls in women's reproductive health.
Focused Collections for Emerging Priorities
Special issues highlight priority topics and bring together multidisciplinary research across women's health.
Collections are guided by guest editors and reviewed by the journal to ensure consistent quality.
Ongoing special issues are themed collections open for submissions during defined periods. Accepted articles are published as they become ready, creating a rolling collection of evidence around a shared focus.
These collections help consolidate emerging evidence and give readers a single destination for new findings in a fast-moving area of reproductive health.
- Higher visibility within a focused research community.
- Opportunity to contribute to a curated evidence base on a priority topic.
- Collaboration with guest editors and expert reviewers in the field.
- Alignment with policy and practice priorities in reproductive health.
- Active calls for papers with topic descriptions and deadlines.
- Guest editor names and contact pathways.
- Submission instructions aligned with each collection.

Before submitting, review the issue description and confirm alignment with the topic. Follow the Instructions for Authors, then submit via Submit Paper or ManuscriptZone.
- Confirm scope fit and deadline for the selected issue.

Accepted manuscripts are copyedited and typeset before final publication. Articles appear online as soon as proofs are approved, and the collection is updated continuously.
Guest editors support reviewer selection and thematic alignment, but all manuscripts are evaluated through the journal's standard editorial workflow. The editorial office retains final decision authority to ensure consistency and integrity.
Special issue articles follow the same APC policy as regular submissions. Discount or waiver requests should be made during submission and will be assessed by the editorial office based on eligibility. Fee questions can be sent to [email protected].
New calls are posted throughout the year. Check this page regularly or email [email protected] if you want to be notified of upcoming themes. We respond as quickly as possible.
JWRH welcomes proposals for new special issues led by clinical experts and multidisciplinary teams. Visit the Proposed Special Issue page for guidelines.
