Women’s Reproductive Health is the official journal of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research.
The journal is dedicated to the improvement of reproductive health and well-being across the lifespan for all women. It publishes original research, theoretical and review articles, book and media reviews, and occasional short pieces of creative writing that illuminate issues relevant to researchers, health care providers, educators, and public policy planners. The range of appropriate topics is broad, including menarche, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, birthing, breastfeeding, miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, assisted reproductive technologies, contraception and abortion, reproductive cancers, sexually transmitted infections, and disorders related to reproductive events (e.g., osteoporosis, fistulas, migraines, postpartum depression, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome). Submissions on often marginalized populations are welcome, including those who are LGBTQ, living with a disability, or culturally and linguistically diverse (e.g. migrant and refugee women, women of colour, indigenous women).
The scope of the journal is international and interdisciplinary, emphasizing feminist perspectives. Contributions from researchers/scholars in public health, nursing, medicine, psychology, sociology, anthropology, women’s studies, queer studies, the humanities, and other fields are welcome.
Women’s Reproductive Health accepts the following types of articles: original empirical research utilizing a range of methods – quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, arts based; review articles; theoretical and methodological articles; book and film reviews.
